They form an integral part of the device. The manufacturer and importer do not accept any liability if the information in these operating instructions is not complied with.EN

INTENDED USE ■ The device is intended to be used ex- clusively for trimming small dry areas of lawn and lawn edges. The device is not suitable for trimming bushes, hedges or similar shrubs. ■ The device is for personal use only and is not intended for commercial applications. ■ The device should only be used as described in the operating instruc- tions. Any other use is deemed to be improper. ■ The warranty does not cover faults caused by incorrect handling, damage or attempted repairs. The same ap- plies to normal wear and tear. GENERAL SAFETY

This chapter reproduces the general safety notices which are preformulated in the standard DIN EN 62841-1 for electric motor-operated hand-held tools. The safety notices for avoiding an electric shock which are speci- fi ed under “2) Electrical safety notices” are not applicable to battery-operated garden tools.

Warning: Note all safety

notices, instructions, illus- trations and technical data provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the instructions below may result in electric shock, fi re and / or serious injuries. Keep all safety notices and instructions for the future. The term “power tool” used in the safety notices refers to mains-operated (corded) power tools and to battery- operated (cordless) power tools.

■ Keep the working area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. ■ Do not operate the power tool in potentially explosive atmospheres containing fl ammable liquids, gases, or dusts. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. ■ Keep children and bystanders away while operating the power tool. If you are distracted, you may lose control of the power tool.

2) Electrical Safety

■ The power tool mains plug must fi t in the plug socket. The plug may not be modifi ed in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed mains plugs and matching sockets will reduce the risk of electric shock. ■ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if the body is earthed or grounded. ■ Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. ■ Do not misuse the mains cable for carrying, suspending or unplugging the power tool. Keep the mains cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan- gled mains cables increase the risk of electric shock.Cordless Lawn Trimmer

■ When operating a power tool out- doors, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use. Use of an extension cable that is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. ■ If operating the power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

■ Remain alert, pay attention to what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. ■ Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protective equip- ment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection, depending on how and where the power tool is used, will reduce the risk of personal injury. ■ Avoid accidental start-up. Ensure that the power tool is switched off before connecting it to the power supply and / or battery, picking up or carry- ing the power tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. ■ Remove any adjusting tools or wrenches before the power tool is switched on. A tool or wrench left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in injuries. ■ Avoid adopting an abnormal posture. Maintain a secure footing, especially on slopes, and balance at all times. Walk, do not run. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpect- ed situations. ■ Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may become entangled in moving parts. ■ If dust extraction and collection equipment can be mounted, it should be connected and used properly. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related hazards. ■ Do not have a false sense of secu- rity and do not ignore the safety rules for power tools even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times. Careless actions can result in serious injuries in fractions of a second.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

■ Do not overload the power tool. Only ever use the designated power tool for the activity that is to be per- formed. With the appropriate power tool, you will work better and more safely in the specifi ed power range. ■ Do not use a power tool whose switch is defective. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. ■ Pull the mains plug out of the plug socket and / or remove a detachable battery before any device settings are made, tool bits are changed or the power tool is put to one side. This preventive measure reduces the risk of starting the power tool acci- dentally. ■ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are unfamiliar with the power tool or have not read these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of inexperienced people.EN

■ Handle power tools and tool bits with care. Check whether moving parts function perfectly and do not jam and check whether parts are broken or damaged in such a way that the func- tion of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. ■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. ■ Use the power tool, tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take account of the working condi- tions and the work to be performed. Use of power tools for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

■ Have the power tool repaired only by a qualifi ed expert using only genuine replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6) Device-Specifi c Safety Notices

Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection when working with the device! Keep people who are not involved away. The machine must never be operated if there are people, in particular children, or pets nearby. Objects which are propelled may present an accident risk around the working area, so make sure that a suffi cient distance is maintained from people, animals and objects (vehicles, window panes etc.). ■ Always wear sturdy footwear and long trousers when working with the device. We also recommend using robust work gloves and wearing a fi ne dust mask if necessary. ■ Only ever operate the device with re- placement cutting elements from the manufacturer. Never use metal cutting elements! ■ Do not reach into the rotating cutting elements. Always wait until the cutting elements have come to a complete standstill. Only remove blockages or foreign bodies when the device is switched off. ■ Danger from loud noises! Personal hearing protection, e. g. ear defend- ers or other hearing protection, is recommended when working with and in the vicinity of the switched-on device. Limit the length of exposure where possible. If in spite of hearing protection any kind of discomfort arises, stop work immediately and check the hearing protection to estab- lish whether it fi ts and works properly. Make sure that it provides an appro- priate level of protection for the noise level which is produced by the device which is used. ■ Only ever transport the device with the cutting blades at a standstill. Danger from vibrations! ■ When the device is used, the user is exposed to vibrations which may lead to loss of the sense of touch, numbness, a tingling sensation and a reduction in the gripping strength of the hand. Long-term exposure may result in chronic complaints. If possible, limit the level of exposure to vibrations and wear vibration-reducing gloves.Cordless Lawn Trimmer

■ The vibration strengths which are quoted in the “Technical Data” re- strict the period of use. Adapt the period of time for which you use the device and the frequency and length of the breaks you take to your individual physical condition in order to keep vibration shocks as low as possible. ■ PLEASE NOTE: The actual vibra- tion strength may differ from the fi gures which are quoted in these operating instructions when using the device. This may have the following causes: ○ non-designated use, ○ incorrect operation, ○ insuffi cient maintenance. ■ To reduce the risks posed by vibra- tions, comply with the following instructions: ○ If possible, do not operate the device in cold ambient temperatures. ○ Keep your body and in par- ticular your hands warm in cold ambient temperatures. ○ Take suffi cient breaks and dur- ing the breaks move or loosen your hands and fi ngers to get the blood fl owing through them. ■ If you experience an unpleas- ant sensation or the colour of the skin on your hands changes while you are using the device, stop performing the work with the device immediately!

• The specifi ed values are emission values and they do not therefore also represent safe workplace values. Although there is a correlation be- tween emission and immission levels, it cannot reliably be inferred from this whether additional precautionary measures are necessary or not. Factors which infl uence the current immission level existing at a workplace include the nature of the workspace, other noise sources, e. g. the number of machines and other working processes taking place nearby. The permitted workplace values can also vary from country to country. However, this in- formation should help you to be able to make a better assessment of hazard and risk.Cordless Lawn Trimmer

• The specifi ed total vibration value and the specifi ed noise emission values have been measured using a stand- ardised testing method and can be used to compare one power tool with another one. The emission values can also be used to make a preliminary assessment of the level of pollution.

• The vibration and noise emissions may vary from the specifi ed values when the power tool is actually used, depending on the way in which the power tool is used, in particular what kind of workpiece is being machined. Please Note: The information about noise and vibrations specifi ed in the Technical Data is determined in accordance with EN 60745 / DIN EN 62841-1 or compa- rable international standards. The values specifi ed relate to normal use of the tool under normal working conditions. Poorly maintained, incorrectly fi tted and inappropriately used tools may display higher sound levels and vibration values. You can fi nd more information about the EU Vibration Directive and about levels of exposure to noise and vibrations, which may also be relevant to DIY enthusiasts, on the website of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work: www.osha.europa.eu.
