The machine can cause serious injuries. Please read the instruction manual carefully. Read
and understand the correct holding method, operation, maintenance, starting, and stopping
of the device. Familiarise yourself with the proper use of all the controls.
The machine is not intended for use by children and persons with reduced physical, sensory

Preparation
Inspect the power cord and extension cord for damage or wear before use.
If the cord is damaged during use, immediately disconnect it from the power supply.
DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY. Do not
use the machine if the cord is defective or damaged.
Always visually inspect the machine for damaged, missing or improperly placed guards or
protections before use.
Never operate the machine when persons, in particular, children or pets are in the vicinity.
Use only the accessories provided by the manufacturer: a spool with a plastic string. Do not
use any equipment other than that provided by the manufacturer, such as blades, cutting
discs or discs equipped with a cutting chain. Do not replace the string with metal wire or rope.
The use of other equipment than that described may pose a serious threat to the operator
and bystanders’ safety. Never replace non-metallic cutting accessories with metal ones. Be-
fore installing the cutting element and guard, make sure they are not damaged, deformed,
and do not have cracks. Make sure that there is at least 1 meter of string on the spool.
Before plugging the machine in, make sure that the power supply parameters are the same
as the ones listed on the machine’s nameplate.
When working, there is a risk of ejecting objects in the direction of the operator and bystand-
