During Operation
If the power supply cord
is damaged, immediately
disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet to avoid
the risk of electric shock.
Avoid damage to the power supply cord.
Do not drive over it, pinch or tug it.
Never jerk the connecting cord to
disconnect it from the wall outlet. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
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 power tool outdoors in
the rain.
24
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the motor
immediately – release the trigger switch
lockout and trigger switch.
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 and tree
stumps 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.
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.
