handling with the motor turned off (AUS/OFF).

a solid object with the trimmer then turn the motor off
immediately and check the device for damage. Never
use the device when it is damaged or appears to be
faulty.
16. Always trim and cut in the upper speed range. Do
not let the motor run at a low speed at the start of
mowing or during trimming.

pose, such as trimming and mowing weeds.
18. Never hold the strimming head above knee height
when in operation.
19. Do not use the device if bystanders or animals are
in the immediate vicinity. Maintain a minimum dis-
tance of 15 m between the operator and other per-
sons or animals when mowing. When mowing down
to ground level please maintain a minimum distance
of 30 m.
20. When mowing on a slope always stay downhill of
the cutting device. Only work on slopes and hills if you
have firm and safe ground underfoot.
