5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

- Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1 Working area

- Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.

- Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

- Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

5.3 Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.
• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you to retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.
• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

5.5 Service

- Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

8.3 Working using the thread spool

• In small grass areas hold the device at an angle of about 30^ and swing the cutting head evenly to the right and left with a semi-circular movement.
• The best results are obtained with a maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass is taller, it is recommended to mow several times.
• To cut around trees, fence posts or other obstacles, slowly move the device around the obstacle and cut with the thread ends.
• Avoid any contact with fixed obstacles (rocks, walls, picket fences, etc.). The thread would wear out quickly. Use the edge of the protective cover to keep the device at the correct distance.

Attention! Do not lay the cutting head on the ground during operation!

8.4 Working with the 4-tooth blade

Always wear the harness and suitable protection clothing when working with the device. Wear eye, hearing and head protection. Ensure that the blade is installed correctly. Replace damaged or blunt tool parts. There is a risk of injury.

• Only use the blade to work on open, even areas. Carefully inspect the area to be cut and remove all foreign bodies. Avoid hitting stones, metal or other obstacles. The blade can be damaged and there is a risk of kickback by the machine.
• When working, hold the cutter above the ground and slowly swivel the device back and forth like a scythe in an equal arch.
• Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
• Do not use the device to cut wild growth or brushwood.
• Regularly check the blades for damage and replace as needed.

8.5 Trimming procedures

• When properly equipped with a debris shield and string head, your unit will trim unsightly weeds and tall grass in those hard-to-reach areas - along fences, walls, foundations and around trees.
• It can also be used for scalping to remove vegetation down to the ground for easier preparation of a garden or to clean out a particular area.

Do not sweep with trimmer. Sweeping refers to tilting head to sweep away debris from walkways, etc. Your trimmer is a powerful tool and small stones or other such debris may be hurled 50 feet (15 metres) or more, causing injury or damage to nearby property such as automobiles, homes and windows.

NOTE: Even if you are careful, trimming around foundations, brick or stone walls, curves, etc., will result in above-normal string wear. To renew the wire, press the lower spool knob against the ground with rotating trimmer.

8.5.1 Trimming / mowing

• Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion from side to side. Do not tilt the head during the procedure.
• Test area to be trimmed for proper cutting height. Keep head at same level for even depth of cut.

8.5.2 Closer trimming

• Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so bottom of head is above ground level and string contact occurs at proper cutting point.
• Always cut away from operator. Do not pull trimmer in towards operator.

8.5.3 Fence / foundation trimming

• Approach trimming around chain link fences, picket fences, rock walls and foundations slowly to cut close without whipping string against the barrier.
• If the string comes in contact with rock, brick walls, or foundations, it will break or fray. If string hits fencing, it will snap off.

8.5.4 Trimming around trees

• Trim around tree trunks slowly so string does not contact bark. Walk around the tree trimming from left to right.
  ■ Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the string and tilt head slightly forward

8.5.5 Scalping

WARNING: Use extreme caution when SCALPING. Keep a distance of 30 meters (100 feet) between operator, other people and animals during these operations.

• Scalping refers to removal of all vegetation down to the ground. To do this, tilt the head to about a 30 degree angle to the right.
• By adjusting the handle you will have better control during this operation.
• Do not attempt this procedure if there is any chance that flying debris could injure the operator, other people, or cause damage to property.

POWXG30405 EN

Avoid kickout, kickout refers to the reaction of a moving blade if it contacts a strong tree, brush or a solid object. The force that results violently pushes the blade away in an arc. Kickout may cause loss of control resulting in injury to the operator or bystanders. Do not use a blade near a chain link fence, metal stakes, landscape borders or building foundations.

Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged metal blade. Before cutting growth, inspect for obstructions such as boulders, metal stakes or strands of wire from broken fences. If an obstruction can not be removed, mark its location so that you can avoid it with the blade. Rocks and metal will dull or damage a blade. Wire can catch on the blade head and flap around or be thrown into the air.

Do not use a brush cutter for cutting trees.

9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slot in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth.
• Regularly clean the cutting line and spool using a soft brush or dry cloth.
• Regularly use a blunt scraper to remove grass and dirt from the underneath of the guard.

9.1 Cleaning the trimmer and brush cutter attachment
