Before Starting Work
Check that your power tool is properly 
assembled and in good condition – refer 
to appropriate chapters in the instruction 
manual:
– Voltage and frequency of the 
machine (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.
– Receptacles of extension cords 
must be splash-proof.
– The combination of cutting tool, 
deflector, handle and shoulder strap 
must be approved and all parts 
properly assembled.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not 
use metal cutting tools.
– To reduce the risk of stumbling, 
position and mark the connecting 
cord so that it cannot be damaged 
or endanger others.
– Starting lockout lever and trigger 
switch must move freely – the 
switch must return to the idle 
position when it is released.
– Check that the cutting tool is 
properly and securely mounted and 
in good condition.
– Check protective devices (e.g. 
deflector for cutting tool) for damage 
and wear. Replace damaged parts. 
Never operate your power tool with 
a damaged deflector.
– Never attempt to modify the controls 
or safety devices.
– Keep handles dry and clean, free 
from dirt, for safe control.
– Adjust handle to suit your height.
To reduce risk of personal injury, do 
not operate your machine if it is 
damaged or not properly assembled.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
– Always connect the power tool to a 
properly installed wall outlet.
– Make sure the extension cord used 
complies with the regulations for the 
intended application.
– Check that insulation of power cord 
extension cord, plug and coupling is 
in good condition.
Before switching on the power tool, 
make sure the cutting tool is not 
touching the ground or any other object.
To reduce the risk of 
injury, avoid contact with 
the cutting tool.
Note that the cutting tool 
continues to rotate for a 
short period after the 
power tool is switched off 
– flywheel effect.
