During Operation

If the power supply cord is damaged,
immediately disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet to avoid the risk of
electric shock.
Avoid damage to the power supply cord. Do not
drive over it, pinch or tug it.
Never jerk the connecting cord to disconnect it
from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the cord.
Be sure your hands are dry before touching the
plug or power cord.
Never spray water on the unit – risk of short cir‐
cuit!
The drive motor is not waterproof. To
reduce the risk of a short circuit or
electrocution, never work with the
power tool in the rain or in wet or very
damp locations.
Do not leave the power tool outdoors in the rain.
In case of imminent danger or in an emergency,
switch off the motor immediately – release the
trigger switch and starting lockout.
Your power tool is designed to be operated by
one person only. Do not allow other persons in
the work area.

The cutting attachment may catch and fling
objects a great distance and cause injury - there‐
fore, do not allow any other persons within a
radius of 15 meters of your own position. To

reduce the risk of damage to property, also main‐
tain this distance from other objects (vehicles,
windows). Even maintaining a distance of 15
meters or more cannot exclude the potential dan‐
ger.
Inspect the work area: Stones, pieces
of metal or other solid objects may be
thrown more than 15 meters and
cause personal injury or damage the
cutting attachment and property (e.g.
parked vehicles, windows).
To reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects,
never operate the unit without the proper deflec‐
tor for the type of cutting attachment being used.
Do not cut wet grass.
Take care in slippery conditions on slopes and
uneven ground.
Keep the connecting cord behind the power tool
at all times – do not walk backwards – risk of
stumbling.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots and tree stumps
which could cause you to trip or stumble.
Always stand on the ground while working, never
on a ladder, work platform or any other insecure
support.
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing
hearing protection because your ability to hear
warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a break in
good time to avoid tiredness or exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions
and only when visibility is good. Stay alert so as
not to endanger others.
Special care must be taken when working in diffi‐
cult, over-grown terrain.
When cutting high scrub, under bushes and hed‐
ges: Keep cutting attachment at a minimum
height of 15 cm to avoid harming small animals.
Check the cutting attachment at regular short
intervals during operation or immediately if there
is a noticeable change in cutting behavior:
– Switch off the power tool, hold it firmly and
press the cutting attachment into the ground to
bring it to a standstill, and disconnect the plug
from the power supply.
– Check condition and tightness, look for cracks.
– Replace damaged cutting attachments imme‐
diately, even if they have only superficial
cracks.
