Working with the electric lawn trimmer:
• The device must not be employed by children.
In the same way, working with the device is
forbidden to persons who have not got com-
plete knowledge of the operating instructions.
Laws and local stipulations can determine a
minimum age for use.
• Keep the device away from people, particularly
children and domestic animals and interrupt

safety distance of 5 m around yourself. Stones
and gravel can be thrown off, which can cause
injuries.
• Use suitable working clothes and personal pro-
tective equipment! Basically, wear protective
goggles or eye protection, protection for the
