Be sure your hands are dry before
touching the plug or power cord.
Never spray water on the unit – risk of
short circuit!
The drive motor is not
waterproof. To reduce
the risk of a short circuit
or electrocution, never
work with the power tool
in the rain or in wet or
very damp locations.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the motor
immediately – release the trigger switch
and starting lockout.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area.
15m (50ft)
The cutting attachment may catch and
fling objects a great distance and cause
injury - therefore, do not allow any other
persons within a radius of 15 meters of
your own position. To reduce the risk of
damage to property, also maintain this
distance from other objects (vehicles,
windows). Even maintaining a distance
of 15 meters or more cannot exclude the
potential danger.

Inspect the work area:
Stones, pieces of metal
or other solid objects may
be thrown more than 15
meters and cause per-
sonal injury or damage
the cutting attachment
and property (e.g. parked
vehicles, windows).
To reduce the risk of injury from thrown
objects, never operate the power tool
without the proper deflector for the type
of cutting attachment being used.
Do not cut wet grass.
Take care in slippery conditions on
slopes and uneven ground.
Keep the connecting cord behind the
power tool at all times – do not walk
backwards – risk of stumbling.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots, tree
stumps or holes which could cause you
to trip or stumble.
Always stand on the ground while
working, never on a ladder, work
platform or any other insecure support.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Special care must be taken when
working in difficult, over-grown terrain.
When cutting high scrub, under bushes
and hedges: Keep cutting attachment at
a minimum height of 15 cm to avoid
harming small animals.
Check the cutting attachment at regular
short intervals during operation or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
Switch off the power tool, hold it
–
firmly and press the cutting
attachment into the ground to bring
it to a standstill, and disconnect the
plug from the power supply.
Check condition and tightness, look
–
for cracks.
Replace damaged cutting
–
attachments immediately, even if
they have only superficial cracks.
Clean grass and plant residue off
–
the cutting attachment mounting at
regular intervals – remove any build
up of material from the cutting
attachment and deflector.
Always switch off the power tool and
unplug it from the power supply before
replacing the cutting attachment This
avoids the risk of injury from the motor
starting unintentionally.
Do not continue using or attempt to
repair damaged or cracked cutting
attachments by welding, straightening or
modifying the shape (out of balance).
This may cause parts of the cutting
attachment to come off and hit the
operator or bystanders at high speed
and result in serious or fatal injuries.
Use only the deflector with properly
mounted line limiting blade to ensure the
mowing lines are automatically trimmed
to the approved length.
