Electrical safety notes
The mains voltage must correspond with the
voltage that is specified on the technical data
plate. Do not use any other mains voltage.
The power outlet should be protected with a
fault-current circuit breaker with a current of not
more than 30mA. Consult an electrician.
Use the cable suspension / cable relief device
provided for fixing the extension cable.
Do not use the trimmer in rain. Avoid exposing
the trimmer to wet or humid surrounding. Do not
leave the trimmer outdoors overnight. Do not cut
humid or wet grass.
To make sure that the extension cable is not
damaged, avoid hovering over the cable with a
running trimmer. Always keep it in a safe position
behind your back.
Use only the extension cable, 3x1.5 mm², of the
quality H07RN-F according to DIN 57282/57245
with splash-proof plug. Cable drums must be
fully rolled out. Maximum cable length is 70 m.
Keep it in a cutting area away from humid, wet,
oil-smeared surfaces, as well as from sharp
edges, heat sources and fuels.
Prior to using the trimmer each time, ensure that
the extension cable is intact.
Children must be kept away from trimmers
connected to the mains.
