blunt item. Never use your fingers to remove jammed foreign
objects, because this may cause serious injuries.
Always keep in mind that especially during trimming of lawn
edges, gravel enclosures, and similar locations stone and dirt
can be hurled away from the cutting thread.
Never cut against hard objects such as stone, etc. This way
you avoid injuries, and damages to the machine and the
cutting tool.
Hold and guide the trim head as close to the ground as
possible.
Only cut grass growing on the ground. Do not cut grass in
cracks or growing on rocks.
Keep in mind that there is risk of injuries in the area of the
thread cutter on the protective hood.
When the cutting tool is damaged, it must be replaced at
once.
The machine and trim head must be properly inspected and
serviced periodically. Damages must be repaired by profes-
sionals. Only use accessories recommended by the manufac-
turer.
Have your machine serviced only by qualified personnel and
by use of original spare parts only. This ensures that the
safety of the device is maintained.
Even if you operate the device correctly, residual risks always
remain. The following hazards may occur in connection with
the design and construction of the device:
- Damage to health resulting from hand-arm vibrations if the
device is used for an extended period of time, not properly
guided oder maintained.
- Injuries and property damage caused by the trim head,
which is unexpectedly thrown out of the machine due to
sudden damage, wear or improper attachment.
