2. USAGE SAFETY
ATTENTION! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury or even death.
Whenever „device" or „product" are used in the warnings
and instructions, it shall mean <Grass trimmer>. Do not use
in very humid environments or in the direct vicinity of water
tanks. Prevent the device from getting wet. Risk of electric
shock! Do not cover the ventilation openings.
2.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) The plug has to fit the socket. Do not modify the
plug in any way. Using original plugs and matching
sockets reduces the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed elements such as pipes,
heaters, boilers and fridges. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if the earthed device is exposed to
rain, in direct contact with a wet surface or operating
in a humid environment. Water ingression into the
device increases the risk of damage to the device
and of electric shock.
c) Do not touch the device with wet or damp hands.
d) Use the cable only in accordance with its designated
use. Never use it to carry the device or to pull the
plug out of a socket. Keep the cable away from heat
sources, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If working with the device outside, make sure to use
an extension lead suitable for external use. Using an
extension lead suitable for external use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) For additional protection, it is recommended to
install a residual-current device (RCD) with a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
g) Check regularly that the residual-current device
(RCD) works properly.

h) Do not use the machine if the power cord
or the extension cord is faulty or show clear
signs of wear. A damaged power cord must
be replaced by a qualified electrician or the
manufacturer's maintenance service.
i) Do not plug a damaged power cord to the wall
socket. Do not touch a damaged power cord until
it is unplugged from the wall socket, since this may
cause electric shock.
j) During operation, be careful and keep the moving
parts of the machine away from the extension cord
because their contact may damage the extension
cord and cause an electric shock.
k) In case the power cord gets damaged, first cut off
the power supply to the wall socket and then unplug
the cord from the socket.
2.2. SAFETY AT THE WORKPLACE
a) Make sure the workplace is orderly and well lit.
A messy or poorly lit workplace may lead to accidents.
Try to anticipate what may happen, observe what is
going on and use common sense when working with
the device.
b) Do not use the device in an explosion hazard zone,
for example in the presence of flammable liquids,
gasses or dust. The device generates sparks which
may ignite dust or fumes.
c) Upon discovering damage or irregular operation,
immediately switch the device off and report it to
a supervisor without delay.
d) If there are any doubts as to the correct operation
of the device, contact the manufacturer's support
service.
e) Only the manufacturer's service point may repair the
device. Do not attempt any repairs independently!
f) If a fire starts, use solely powder or carbon dioxide
(CO ) fire extinguishers suitable for use on live
2
devices to put it out.
g) Children or unauthorised persons are forbidden
from entering a work station. (A distraction may
result in a loss of control over the device).
h) Please keep this manual available for future
reference. If this device is passed on to third parties,
the manual must be passed on with it.
i) Stop operating the machine if there are people
(especially children) or pets nearby.
j) The machine must only be used in daylight or with
artificial light that guarantees good visibility.
k) Do not use the machine in moist environments.
l) Avoid using the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially during lightning storms or if there is a risk
of a lightning storm.
m) When operating, the device ejects pieces of grass
and other small elements when they are hit by the
cutting wire. Care should be taken not to injure
bystanders and animals in the vicinity of the working
area. The ejected hard or sharp elements can cause
injuries.
REMEMBER! When using the device, protect children
and other bystanders.

m) Care should be taken not to injure yourself with the
blade in the guard designed for trimming the cutting
wire. After the adjustment of the length of the
cutting wire, revert the device to a normal operating
position.
n) Do not install metal cutting elements in the device.
Always make sure that the machine ventilation
openings are free from dirt (e.g. stones, grass,
branches, leaves).
o) When performing technical inspections
adjustments, always check if it is necessary to replace
the cutting wire.
p) Incomplete or modified machine can be dangerous
and must not be used.
2.4. SAFE DEVICE USE
a) Do not overload the device. Use appropriate tools
for the given task. A correctly selected device will
perform the task for which it was designed better
and in a safer manner.
b) Do not use the device if the ON/OFF switch does not
function properly (does not switch the device on and
off). Devices which cannot be switched on and off
using the ON/OFF switch are hazardous, should not
be operated and have to be repaired.
