Noise/vibration information
Measured values determined according
to EN 60335-1 / EN 50636-2-91.
Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:

WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60335-1 / EN 50636-2-91 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may signifi cantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING Read these instructions carefully, be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the machine. Save
all warnings and instructions for future reference.
LINE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear eye protection and stout shoes at all times while
operating the machine.
Avoid using the machine in bad weather conditions especially
when there is a risk of lightning.
Use the machine only in daylight or good artifi cial light.
Never operate the machine with damaged guards or shields or
without guards or shields in place.
Switch on the motor only when the hands and feet are away
from the cutting means.
Always remove the battery
- whenever the machine is left unattended
- before clearing a blockage
- before checking, cleaning or working on the machine;
- after striking a foreign object;
- whenever the machine starts vibrating abnormally.
Take care against injury to feet and hands from the cutting
means.
Always ensure that the ventilation openings are kept clear of
debris.
Avoid using on wet grass.
Do not walk backwards when using the product.
Do not operate the product when there is a risk of lightning.
Do not expose the product to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering an appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
Keep bystanders, children and pets 15m away from the area of
operation. Stop the product if anyone enters the area.
Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.
Keep hands and feet away from the cutting means at all times
and especially when switching on the motor.
Beware, the cutting elements continue to rotate after the motor
is switched off.
Beware of objects thrown by the cutting means. Clear debris
like small stones, gravel and other foreign objects from the
work area before starting operation. Wires or string may
become entangled with the cutting means.
The small blade fi tted to the lawn guard is designed to trim the
new extended line to the correct length for safe and optimum
performance. It is very sharp, do not touch it particularly when
cleaning the product.
Make sure the cutting head attachment is properly installed and
securely fastened.
Make sure all guards, defl ectors, and handles are properly and
securely attached.
Do not modify the product in any way, this may increase the
risk of injury to yourself or others.
Use only the manufacturer's replacement cutting line. Do not
use any other cutting attachment.
Do not use metallic cutting means
Immediately switch off and remove the battery pack in the
event of accident or breakdown. Don't operate the product
again until it has been fully checked by an authorised service
centre.
Ensure that the cut-off blade is properly positioned and secured
before each use.
Before use and after any impact, check that there are no
damaged parts. A defective switch or any part that is damaged
or worn should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service facility.
Never operate the product unless all guards, defl ectors, and
handles are properly and securely attached.
Consider the environment in which you are working. Keep the
working area free from wires, sticks, stones, and debris which if
struck by the cutter can become thrown objects.
Maintenance and storage
