nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Do not assume a false sense of security and disregard
u
the safety regulations for machines, even if familiar
with the machine through multiple use. A careless ac-
tion can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Use and Handling of the Machine
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for
u
your application. The correct machine will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it
u
on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
u
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the ma-
chine before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the machine acci-
dentally.
Store idle machines out of the reach of children. Do
u
not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or
these instructions to operate the machine. Trimmers
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain trimmers with care. Check for misalignment
u
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the operation of the
machine. Have damaged parts repaired before using
the machine. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained machines.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the machine, accessories, application tools, etc.
u
according to these instructions. Take the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed into account.
Use of machines for operations different from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
u
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
machine in unexpected situations.

– whenever the machine is left by the user
– before clearing a blockage
– before checking, cleaning or working on the machine
– after striking a foreign object to inspect the machine for
damage
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, for immedi-
ately check
