• Use power tools only with specifically designated
BATTERY packs. Use of any other BATTERY packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the BATTERY; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the BATTERY may cause irritation or
burns.
• Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, EXPLOSION or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the BATTERY pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the BATTERY and increase the
risk of fire.
6)Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
• Never service damaged BATTERY packs. Service
of BATTERY packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
4 LAWN TRIMMER AND LAWN EDGE
TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
• Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by
the machine during operation.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones,
and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
• Before using the machine, always visually inspect to
see that the cutter and the cutter assembly are not
damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
• Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is
loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly may
result in personal injury.
English
• Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. Blocked air
inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of
fire.
• Wear eye protection and ear protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury.
• While operating the machine, always wear non-
slip and protective footwear. Do not operate the
machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from
contact with the moving cutter.
• Always wear clothing such as trousers that covers
the operator's legs while operating the machine.
Contact with the moving cutter or line may cause
injury.
• Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
• Do not operate the machine above waist height.
This helps prevent unintended cutter contact and
enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
• Exercise caution when operating the machine in
wet grass. Walk, never run. This reduces the risk
of slipping and falling which may result in personal
injury.
• Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control,
slipping and falling which may result in personal
injury.
• When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result
in personal injury.
• Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in
hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut or
damaged by the line or cutter.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the moving
trimmer cutter or line. Do not clear material from
the machine until it has been disconnected from
the power source. The moving trimmer cutter or line
may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the machine with the machine switched off
and away from your body. Proper handling of the
machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with a moving trimmer cutter or line.
• Only use replacement cutting heads and trimmer
cutters or lines specified by the manufacturer. Do
not replace the trimmer cutters or lines with metal
wires or blades. Incorrect replacement parts may
cause loss of control, breakage and injury.
