caught in moving parts. Use of thick leather
gloves and substantial footwear is recom-
mended when working outdoors. Wear protec-
tive hair covering to contain long hair.

injuries as well as to protect your hearing the
following protective equipment and protective
clothing must be used during operation of the

Always wear a helmet where there is a risk of
3.
falling objects. The protective helmet is to be
checked at regular intervals for damage and
is to be replaced at least every five years. Use
only approved protective helmets.
4. Use safety glasses. The visor of the helmet (or alter-
natively goggles) protects the face from flying debris
and stones. During operation of the tool always
wear goggles, or a visor to prevent eye injuries.
5. Wear adequate noise protection equipment
to avoid hearing impairment (ear muffs , ear
plugs etc.).
6. Work overalls protect against injury from
flying stones and debris. It is strongly recom-
mended that the user wears work overalls.
7. Special gloves made of thick leather are part of
the prescribed equipment and must always be
worn during operation of the tool.
8. When using the tool, always wear sturdy shoes
with a nonslip sole. This protects against injuries
from flying debris and ensures a good footing.
9. Use a dust mask if operation is dusty.
Electrical and battery safety
1. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the tool
in damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water
entering the tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
2. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
3.
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
4. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
7. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
8. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet locations.
Starting up the tool
1. Make sure that there are no children or other
people within a working range of 15 meters
(50 ft), also pay attention to any animals in the
working vicinity. Otherwise stop using the tool.
2. Before use always check that the tool is safe for
operation. Check the security of the nylon cutting
head and the guard and the switch trigger/lever for
easy and proper action. Check for clean and dry
handles and test the on/off function of the switch.
3. Check damaged parts before further use of
the tool. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of mov-
ing parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other condition that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by our authorized service center
unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
