2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The lawn trimmer attachment lets you remove
grass and similar vegetation from areas of your
garden that cannot be reached with the lawn-
mower (e.g. on walls, at building corners, under
bushes).
2.1

Designated use (01)

The lawn trimmer attachment may only be used
in interaction with the basic appliance. The whole
appliance is intended to cut soft grass and similar
vegetation. It must be guided on the ground.
The basic appliance as well as the attachments
are solely intended for use in non-commercial ap-
plications. Any other use, as well as unauthorised
conversions or add-ons, are regarded as contrary
to the intended use and will result in invalidation
of the warranty as well as loss of conformity (CE
mark); the manufacturer will thus decline any re-
sponsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by
the user or third parties.
2.2

Possible foreseeable misuse

■
Do not cut any shrubs, hedges, trees or
flowers.
■
Do not lift the appliance off the ground during
operation.
2.3

Residual dangers

Even during correct use of the appliance, there is
always a certain residual risk that cannot be ex-
cluded. Depending on the use, the following po-
tential risks can be derived from the type and
construction of the appliance:
■
Throwing out of cuttings, soil and small
stones
■
Throwing out of cut-off parts of the cutting
line
■
Inhalation of cuttings particles if no breathing
protection is worn.
■
Damage to the hearing if no hearing protec-
tion is worn.
