Before starting up the tool and after any heavy impacts or
■
falls, inspect the tool for signs of damage and wear. Have
any necessary repairs carried out.
Never put the machine into operation while other individu-
■
als, especially children or animals, are in the vicinity.
Before use, make sure that all adjustable elements, such as
■
the shaft tubes or handlebar, are firmly locked in place.
Operation
Use the tool only in daylight or with good artificial lighting.
■
Never use the tool with damaged or missing covers or pro-
■
tective equipment.
Always switch off the device and remove the batteries, ...
■
if you leave the device unattended;;
–
before removing a blockage;
–
before cleaning, maintaining, checking or working on
–
the device;
after contact with a foreign object;
–
if the device vibrates unusually.
–
Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting tool,
■
especially when switching on the motor.
Always keep the ventilation openings of the motor free
■
of foreign objects.
Never replace the non-metallic cutting unit with a metallic
■
cutting unit.
Always maintain a distance of at least 15 metres from
■
third parties to avoid hazards. If a person or animal enters
the work area, stop work immediately.
Always hold the tool on your right side to ensure maximum
■
control over the tool. This reduces the risk of recoil.
Wear close-fitting work clothing that offers protection, such
■
as long trousers, safety shoes, heavy-duty protective gloves,
safety helmet, face mask or goggles to protect your eyes
and good ear defenders or other hearing protection against
the noise.
Using the power tool for a long time can lead to vibra-
■
tion-related circulation disorders of the hands (Raynaud's
syndrome). You can extend the usage duration by using
appropriate gloves or by taking regular breaks. Note that
any personal predisposition to poor blood circulation, low
external temperatures or large gripping forces can reduce
the usage period.

Maintenance and storage
Inspect the tool for damage after hitting a hard object or
■
if excessive vibrations occur. Have any necessary repairs
carried out.
Always switch off the device and remove the batteries before
■
cleaning it or carrying out maintenance work.
Keep your hands away from the line cutter during cleaning
■
and maintenance work on the protective cover to avoid
injury.
Have a blunt cutting tool re-sharpened by a specialised
■
workshop. A blunt or damaged blade increases the risk
of recoil, which could lead to injuries.
Carry out maintenance and cleaning work regularly. Always
■
have the tool repaired at an authorised repair workshop.
Only use original spare parts and accessories. This is essen-
■
tial to ensure the safety of the tool. The use of accessories
or attachments not explicitly recommended by the manufac-
turer is considered improper use and poses significant dan-
gers. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages
resulting from improper use.
Always keep the tool out of the reach of children.
■
Residual risks
Even with proper use, residual risks remain that cannot
■
be entirely excluded. The design of the tool gives rise to the
following potential residual risks:
Cut injuries due to accidental contact with the strimmer;
–
Cut injuries due to reaching into the rotating strimmer;
–
Hearing damage from insufficient hearing protection;
–
Damage to health resulting from hand-arm vibrations if
–
the tool is used for an extended period of time or is not
properly used and maintained.
