Important information for your personal safety

General safety instructions
Noise emission information in accordance with the German Product
Safety Act (ProdSG) and the EC Machine Directive: the noise pressure
level at the place of work can exceed 80 dB(A). In such cases the opera-
tor will require noise protection (e.g. wearing of ear protectors).
Attention: Noise protection! Please observe the local regulations
when operating your device.
Attention: Using electric power tools, you must observe following fun-
damental safety instructions to protect yourself against electric shock,
against danger of injuries and danger of fire. Read all these instructions
before using the grass trimmer and observe them. Keep these safety
instructions at a safe place.
The machine has been constructed according to the latest technology
and in accordance with the recog-nised technical safety regulations.
Nevertheless, use of the machine can involve risks to the user or third
persons, and can cause damage to the machine or other objects.
Use the machine in a safety conscious manner for suitable applications
and in technically perfect condition only and according to the operating
in-structions! Immediately rectify or have any faults rectified which could

GB | Operating Instructions
Read the instruction manual carefully. It is important that you fully under-
stand and observe the safety precautions and warnings before starting
and using your trimmer for the first time. Careless or improper use of any
trimmer may cause serious or fatal injury. Observe all applicable safety
regulations, standards and ordinances. Please familiarise yourself with
the machine before the first use.

Application

The machine is exclusively intended for cutting decorative lawn, i.e. lawn
edges. Any other use or use going beyond that, such as the cutting of
brushwood and hedges or large areas of lawn, is considered improper
use. The manufacturer / supplier is not liable for damages resulting from
such use. The risk is borne by the user alone. A proper utilisation also
includes the observance of the operating manual and the compliance
with the conditions of control and maintenance.
Keep the operating manual always at hand near the place the machine
is used!
Residual risks
Even if the device is used properly, a residual risk that cannot be elimi-
nated persists. Due to the type and design of the device, the following
potential dangers may result:
- Contact with the unprotected part of the thread cutting equipment
(cutting injury)
- Contact with cutting thread while in operation (cutting)
- Contact with ejecting parts of the cutting thread, cut material, and
other materials (cutting injury, blunt injury)
- Loss of hearing if required ear protection is not used while working
(hearing loss)
- Contact with electric current due to a defective or cut supply cable
(electric shock)
- Harmful emissions of cut material and cut particles.
If you do not observe the instructions contained in the instruction manual,
other residual risks may result due to improper use.
The product is intended for persons who are 14 years old and up. If
the product is used by children who are 8 years old and up or by per-
sons with limited physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or a lack of
experience and knowledge, then they must be supervised or informed
regarding how to use the device safely and to understand the resulting
dangers that are involved. Children are not permitted to play with the
device. Cleaning and maintenance may not be completed by children
without supervision.
Children should be supervised so that they do not play with the device.
However, some residual risks remain despite the specific safety meas-
ures, safety instructions, and additional safety regulations indicated in
the operating manual, e.g. commissioning the product unintentionally. If
you do not observe the instructions contained in the instruction manual,
other residual risks may result due to improper use.
Warning!
Prolonged use of a tool will subject the user to vibration and shocks that
could lead to Raynaud's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition reduces the ability of the hand to sense and regulate
temperature, causes numbness and a sensation of heat, and can cause
damage to the nervous and circulatory systems and to necrosis.
Not all factors that lead to Raynaud's syndrome are known, but cold wa-
ter, smoking, and illnesses that impact the blood vessels and the circula-
tory system and severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known
to be factors that contribute to the development of Raynaud's syndrome.
Observe the following instructions to reduce the risk of Raynaud's syn-
drome and Carpal tunnel syndrome:
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Make sure the device is well maintained. A tool with loose components
or with damaged or worn dampers is prone to increased vibration.
• Always hold the handle firmly, but do not grip it continuously with ex-
cessive pressure. Take breaks often.
All of the precautions indicated above cannot exclude the risk of
Raynaud's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, it is advis-
able in case of long-term or regular use to monitor the condition of your
hands and fingers closely. Seek medical attention immediately if any of
the above symptoms appear.
