Intended use

This lawn trimmer allows you to cut grass that
cannot be reached by a lawn mower, e.g. on
small lawns, under bushes, around trees, on
slopes, on lawn edges or around walls and build-
ing corners.
This appliance is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use as well
as unauthorised conversions or modifications are
regarded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in voiding of the warranty as well as loss of
conformity; the manufacturer will thus decline any
responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered
by the user or third parties.
3.2

Possible foreseeable misuse

The appliance is not designed for use as a brush
cutter, i.e. It is not suitable for mowing thicker
herbaceous plants, young undergrowth and
shrubs.
The tool is designed neither for commercial use
in public parks and sports facilities, nor for use in
farming and forestry.
3.3

Residual risks

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.
■
Inhalation of cuttings particles if no breathing
protection is worn.
