2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1
Designated use (01)
The brushcutting attachment may only be used in
interaction with the basic appliance. The whole
appliance can be used optionally as a lawn trim-
mer and as a power brushcutter. Fitted with a
spool, the appliance is only intended to cut soft
grass and similar vegetation. With the 3-toothed
blade, it can be used for mowing thicker herb-
aceous plants, young undergrowth and shrubs.
The appliance 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.
