Safety
− Make sure you have secure footing and a straight posture. Be
careful when walking backwards.
− If the grass trimmer vibrates with unusual intensity, switch it off
immediately and pull out the power plug. Check all parts to make
sure that they are intact and secure. If the grass trimmer is dam-
aged, do not use it anymore and have it repaired by qualified
experts.
− Switch off the grass trimmer whenever you interrupt your work
in order to move to a new work area or cross over gravel paths or
roads. The cutting unit will continue to run for a few seconds. Al-
ways wait for the cutting tool to come to a stop before you trans-
port the grass trimmer.
Risk of damage!
Incorrect handling of the grass trimmer could cause material dam-
age. The operator or user is responsible for accidents involving other
persons and/or their property.
− Inspect the grass trimmer visually each time before it is used. Do
not use the grass trimmer if any safety devices are damaged or if
the line spool has not been inserted and fastened correctly.
− Before you begin your work, examine the material you want to
cut. Remove any foreign bodies. Continue to watch out for foreign
bodies while you are working. If any foreign bodies get inside the
grass trimmer nevertheless while cutting, turn off the grass trim-
mer and remove the items in question.
− Keep the air vents clean.
− Use only original replacement parts.
