Operation
Working Notes
• When cutting, observe the country-
specic / local regulations.
• Do not cut during commonly applica-
ble quiet periods.
• Solid objects such as stones, metal
pieces or similar must be removed.
These can be thrown out and there-
fore result in personal or property
damage.
• When cutting in high bushes or hedg-
es, the working height should be at
least 15 cm. This prevents the risk to
animals, e.g. hedgehogs.
Work safely and considerately!
• Always hold the equipment rmly and
securely with both hands (see picture
8).
• Cut only grass and weeds. Be aware of
roots or tree stumps – risk of tripping.
• Work considerately and endanger no-
body when cutting. Work quietly and
carefully.
• Work only in adequate visibility and
lighting conditions.
• Keep an eye on the cutting head.
• Never cut above shoulder height.
• Never replace the plastic cord with a
steel wire – risk of injury and damage.
• Do not work on a ladder.
• Work only on rm and stable bases.
• Always carry the equipment suspended
by the shoulder strap or on the tube
