–
Keep the handles dry and 
clean – free from oil and 
dirt – for safe control of the 
power tool.
– Adjust handle to suit your 
height and reach.
To reduce the risk of 
accidents, do not operate the 
unit if it is not properly 
assembled and in good 
condition.
Do not operate your power 
tool if any of its components 
are damaged or not properly 
mounted.
Never attempt to modify the 
controls or the safety devices 
in any way.
Before switching on your 
power tool, make sure the 
cutting attachment is not 
touching the ground or any 
other object.
Electrical Connection
Reduce the risk of electric 
shock:
– Voltage and frequency of 
the power tool (see rating 
plate) and the voltage and 
frequency of your power 
supply must be the same.
– Check the connecting 
cord, plug and extension 
cord for damage. Never 
use damaged cords, 
couplings and plugs or 
connecting cords that do 
not comply with 
regulations.
– Always connect the power 
tool to a properly installed 
wall outlet.
– Check that the insulation of 
the power cord, extension 
cord, plug and coupling is 
in good condition.
– Never touch the mains 
plug, connecting cord, 
extension cord or electrical 
connections with wet 
hands.
– Make sure the extension 
cord used complies with 
the regulations for the 
intended application.
Position the connecting and 
extension cords correctly:
– Check minimum cross 
section of wires (wire 
gauge) – see "Connecting 
to Power Supply".
– To reduce the risk of 
stumbling, position and 
mark the connecting cord 
so that it cannot be 
damaged or endanger 
others.
– Using unsuitable extension 
cords can be dangerous. 
Use only extension cords 
approved for outdoor use 
which are labeled as such 
and have the appropriate 
wire gauge.
– The plug and coupling of 
the extension cord must be 
water-proof and must 
never be immersed in 
water.
To reduce the risk 
of injury, avoid 
contact with the 
cutting attachment.
Note that the cut-
ting attachment 
continues to run for 
a short period after 
the power tool is 
switched off – fly-
wheel effect.
