• Keep electrical tools away from rain and wet.
The risk of electric shock increases if water
penetrates an electrical tool.
• Switch off device in case of power interruption
and pull mains plug. This prevents the unintenti-
onal use of the use in case of voltage return.
• Check whether the locking device is locked and
lock this if required in case of power interruption
and each setting of the device. Otherwise the
device may start unexpectedly when the power
is supplied.
• Do not use the cable to carry the product, hang
it up or pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and any
moving machine parts.
Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
• If the connecting cable becomes damaged, it
must be replaced by an expert.
• If you require to work with an extension cable,
this must be approved for this application field
and must have sufficient cross-section. Other-
wise power loss in case of the device and over-
heating of the cable may occur. If you are not
certain, contact a specialist.
• If you use an electrical tool outdoors, use only
extension cables suitable for outdoor use.
Using an extension cable that is suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• When operating the electrical tool in a damp
environment cannot be avoided, use a fault cur-
rent circuit breaker with a trip current of 30 mA
or less. The use of a fault current circuit breaker
reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Do not overload the product. Carry out your
work using only the electrical tool intended. You
will work more efficiently and safely if you use
the correct electrical tool within its stated perfor-
mance range.
• Do not use an electrical tool with a defective
switch. A electrical tool that can be no longer
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Pull the plug from the socket and/or remove the
rechargeable battery before making adjust-
ments, replacing components or putting the
device away.
These precautionary measures will prevent the
device from being started accidentally.
• Keep unused electrical tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow the product to be used by
anyone who is not familiar with it or has not read
these operating instructions.
Electrical tools are dangerous if used by inexpe-
rienced persons.

• Handle electrical tools with care. Check that
moving parts are functioning properly and do not
stick, whether parts are broken or have been
damaged in a way that impairs the function of
the electrical tool. Have the damaged parts
repaired before you use the product.
Poorly maintained electrical tools are a common
cause of accidents.
• Use electrical tools, accessories, interchangea-
ble tools etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions. In doing so, take working conditions and
the work to be performed into consideration.
• Using electrical tools for applications other than
those intended can result in dangerous situa-
tions.
• Remove the setting tools or spanners before
switching on the device. A tool or spanner left in
a rotating part of the product can result in injury.
• Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that
the device is switched off before it is connected
to the power supply and/or battery, removed or
carried.
Carrying the electrical tool with your finger on the
switch or connected to the power supply can
lead to accidents.
Safety information for trimmers
• Always keep connection cables far away from
the work area around the device. Always feed
cables out of the back of the device.
• In case of increased noise or vibration of the
device, it must be switched off immediately and
checked. Check all screws and parts to make
sure that they fit tightly.
• Make sure that the product is assembled com-
pletely and according to regulations. Observe
the correct rotational direction of the cutting
tool.
• Check that the product functions faultlessly,
especially the correct and secure fit of all rota-
ting parts.
• When working with the product, always make
sure that you are standing firmly and have a
natural posture.
• Always hold the product firmly in both hands.
• Before using the product, search the area to be
cut for animals and obstacles. Remove all obsta-
cles, for example, stones, nails, broken glass
etc., which can be flung out. Remove all longer
obstacles that can get caught up in the cutting
tool.
• Before beginning work, check the area and
remove all objects that may damage the cutting
tool.
