Before Starting Work

Inspect the power tool.
Check that your power tool is properly assem‐
bled and in good condition – refer to appropriate
chapters in the instruction manual.
– Starting lockout lever and trigger switch must
move freely – the switch must return to the idle
position when it is released.
– Use only an approved combination of cutting
attachment, deflector, handle and harness. All
parts must be assembled properly and
securely. To reduce the risk of injury, never
use metal cutting attachments.
– Check that the cutting attachment is properly
and securely mounted and in good condition.
– Check protective devices (e.g. deflector for
cutting attachment) for damage or wear.
Always replace damaged parts. Never operate
the unit with a damaged deflector.
– Keep the handles dry and clean – free from oil
and dirt – for safe control of the power tool.
– Adjust handle to suit your height and reach.
To reduce the risk of accidents, do not operate
your power tool if it is not properly assembled
and in good condition.
Do not operate your power tool if any of its com‐
ponents are damaged or not properly mounted.
Never attempt to modify the controls or the
safety devices in any way.
Before switching on your power tool, make sure
the cutting attachment is not touching the ground
or any other object.
To reduce the risk of injury, avoid
contact with the cutting attachment.
Note that the cutting attachment con‐
tinues to run for a short period after
the power tool is switched off – fly‐
wheel effect.

2 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
– Voltage and frequency of the power tool (see
rating plate) and the voltage and frequency of
your power supply must be the same.
– Check the connecting cord, plug and exten‐
sion cord for damage. Never use damaged
cords, couplings and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with regulations.
– Always connect the power tool to a properly
installed wall outlet.
– Check that the insulation of the power cord,
extension cord, plug and coupling is in good
condition.
– Never touch the mains plug, connecting cord,
extension cord or electrical connections with
wet hands.
– Make sure the extension cord used complies
with the regulations for the intended applica‐
tion.
Position the connecting and extension cords cor‐
rectly:
– Check minimum cross section of wires (wire
gauge) – see "Connecting to Power Supply".
– To reduce the risk of stumbling, position and
mark the connecting cord so that it cannot be
damaged or endanger others.
– Using unsuitable extension cords can be dan‐
gerous. Use only extension cords approved for
outdoor use which are labeled as such and
have the appropriate wire gauge.
– The plug and coupling of the extension cord
must be water-proof and must never be
immersed in water.
– Do not chafe on edges, pointed or sharp
objects
– Do not squeeze through gaps in doors or win‐
dows
– If cords are twisted – unplug the power tool
and straighten them out
– Never touch the rotating cutting attachment
– Always unwind the extension cord completely
from the cable drum to reduce the risk of fire
from overheating.
2.7 Holding and Controlling the
Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both hands on
the handles. Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
