GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

POWER TOOLS

WARNING! All safety instructions, user manu-

als, images and directives supplied with this tool

must be read. Failure to follow all of the following

instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁre, and/

or serious personal injury.

All instructions and the user manual must be kept

for future reference.

The term "power tool" in all the following warn-

ings refers to a mains-powered tool (with a power

cord) or a battery-powered tool (without a power

cord). This manual applies only to power tools

that are powered by a battery without a power

cord.

Safety in the working environment

The workplace must be kept clean and well lit.

Clutter and dark areas are often the cause of ac-

cidents.

Power tools must not be used in potentially explo-

sive atmospheres where ﬂammable liquids, gases

or dust are present. Power tools create sparks that

can ignite dust or fumes.

Children and other persons must be kept away

when using power tools. If the operator is dis-

tracted, they may lose control of the operation.

Electrical safety

The operator must not touch grounded objects,

such as pipes, central heating units, cookers and

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13ENGLISH

refrigerators. The risk of electric shock is greater if

your body is connected to the ground.

Power tools must not be exposed to rain, mois-

ture or wetness. If water enters a power tool, the

risk of electric shock increases.

The tool may generate a weak electromagnetic

ﬁeld that is not ordinarily dangerous to humans.

However, persons with pacemakers or similar

devices should contact the manufacturer of the

device or consult their physician before using the

tool.

Safety of persons

When using a power tool, the operator must be

careful, pay attention to what they are doing,

concentrate and think clearly. Power tools must

not be used if the operator is tired or under the

inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo-

ment’s inattention while using a power tool can

result in serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always use

eye protection. Protective equipment such as

a respirator, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat and

hearing protection, used in accordance with the

working conditions, reduces the risk of personal

injury.

Unintentional starting of the machine must be

avoided. Make sure that the switch is in the off

position before connecting the battery, lifting or

carrying the tool. Carrying the tool with your ﬁn-

ger on the switch or with the tool switched on can

cause accidents.

All adjusting tools or wrenches must be removed

before switching on the tool. An adjusting tool or

wrench that remains attached to the rotating part

of the power tool may result in personal injury.

The operator must only work in places that they

can safely reach. The operator must always main-

tain a stable posture and balance. This will allow

better control of the power tool in unforeseen

situations.

The operator must dress appropriately. Do not

wear loose clothing or jewellery. The operator

must make sure that their hair and clothing are

a sufﬁcient distance away from moving parts.

Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair can be

caught up in moving parts.

Where equipment is provided for connecting

dust extraction and collection facilities, care must

be taken to ensure that it is connected and used

correctly. The use of such equipment can reduce

hazards caused by dust.

The operator must not allow themselves to be-

come lax and ignore the principles of work safety

due to the routine that results from the frequent

use of the tool. Careless actions can cause serious

injuries in a split second.

Power tool use and maintenance

Power tools must not be overloaded. It is essential

to use the correct power tool for the work being

carried out. The correct power tool will do the

work it was designed to do better and safer.

Power tools that cannot be switched on and off

with the switch must not be used. Any power tool

that cannot be operated with the switch is dan-

gerous and must be repaired.

The battery must be removed from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. These pre-

cautions reduce the risk of accidentally starting

the power tool.

Unused power tools must be stored out of the

reach of children. Persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions must not be al-

lowed to use the power tool. Power tools are dan-

gerous in the hands of inexperienced users.

Power tools and accessories must be maintained.

The adjustment and mobility of moving parts

must be checked and attention paid to cracks,

broken parts and any other circumstances that

may compromise the function of the power tool.

If the tool is damaged, it must be repaired before

further use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

Cutting tools must be kept sharp and clean. Prop-

erly maintained and sharpened cutting tools are

less likely to catch on material or jam and are eas-

ier to control.

Power tools, accessories, tool bits, etc. must be

used in accordance with these instructions and

in the manner intended for the particular power

tool, taking into account the working conditions

and the work to be carried out. Using power tools

for activities other than those for which they are

designed can lead to dangerous situations.

Handles and grip surfaces must be kept dry, clean

and free of grease. Slippery handles and gripping

surfaces mean the tool cannot be held and con-

trolled in unexpected situations.

Do not use cloth work gloves when using power

tools as these can become entangled. Cloth work

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

14 ENGLISH

gloves becoming tangled in moving parts can

cause personal injury.

Cordless power tool use and mainte-

nance

The tool must only be charged with the charg-

er speciﬁed by the manufacturer. A charger that

may be suitable for one type of battery pack may

cause a ﬁre risk when used with another battery

pack.

The tool must only be used with a battery that is

speciﬁcally designed for the tool. The use of any

other batteries may cause a risk of injury or ﬁre.

When the battery is not in use, it must be protect-

ed from contact with other metal objects, such

as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other

small metal objects that can cause one battery

contact to come in contact with another. Short-cir-

cuiting the battery terminals may cause burns or

ﬁre.

If used incorrectly, liquids may leak from the bat-

tery; contact with them should be avoided. In the

case of accidental contact with these ﬂuids, the

affected area must be rinsed with water. In addi-

tion, seek medical attention if ﬂuid gets into the

eye. Liquids escaping from the battery can cause

inﬂammation or burns.

A damaged or modiﬁed battery or tool must not

be used. A damaged or modiﬁed battery can ex-

hibit unpredictable behaviour, which can result in

ﬁre, explosion, or the risk of injury.

The battery or tool must not be exposed to ﬁre or

excessive heat. Exposure to ﬁre or temperatures

above 130°C may cause an explosion.

All charging instructions must be followed, and

the battery or tool must not be charged outside

the temperature range speciﬁed in the operating

instructions. Improper charging or charging at

temperatures outside this range may damage the

battery and increase the risk of ﬁre.

Servicing

Power tool repairs must be carried out by qual-

iﬁed personnel using identical spare parts. This

will ensure the same level of safety of the power

tool as before the repair.

Damaged batteries must never be repaired. Bat-

teries should only be repaired by the manufactur-

er or an authorized service centre.

tight, and the tool is correctly assembled. Have

the cutting blade sharpened. If the cutting blade

is bent or damaged, it will need to be replaced.

Check proper function of all control elements and

switches. Clean and dry all handles.

Do not turn on a tool that is damaged or improp-

erly assembled. Serious injury may result other-

wise.

Adjust the shoulder strap and handle angle to the

operator’s height.

When inserting the battery, hold the tool with the

cutting blade pointing away from you, other ob-

jects or the ground. Accidentally turning on the

tool at this point could cause injury or damage to

the tool or other property.

Before turning on the tool, make sure all wrench-

es and other external tools have been removed.

If such a tool remains attached to the rotary parts

while these are running, serious injury may result.

The protective cover must always be installed

when using the tool. Never use a tool whose pro-

tective cover is damaged or missing.

Do not replace the nylon string with wire, rope,

etc.

If you notice unusual signs during operation (e.g.

abnormal noise or vibration), turn off the tool and

remove the battery. Do not resume use of the

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

16 ENGLISH

tool until the cause of the abnormality has been

found and removed.

The cutting blade continues to rotate for some

time after the motor has been turned off. Avoid

contact with the cutting blade.

Use the shoulder strap. The tool is designed to

be held to the right of the body.

Do not lean in any direction. Stand straight and

keep your balance at all times while using the

tool. Continuously scan the work area for any

hard-to-spot foreign objects, tree stumps or

roots, sewer grilles, etc., to avoid stumbling or

catching your tool on these.

Take extra care when working on slopes.

Walk forward slowly. Never run.

Do not use the tool while on ladders, in trees etc.

If the tool suffers a major collision or fall, check

it for damage before continuing work. Check

proper function of control and safety elements.

If you ﬁnd any damage or have doubts as to the

tool’s condition, bring it in to an authorized ser-

vice centre for inspection and repair.

Do not touch the motor unit during and imme-

diately after operation. The motor becomes hot

while running and may cause burns.

Take regular breaks of at least 10 to 20 minutes

after each hour of operation, in order to avoid

dangerous situations due to operator fatigue.

When leaving the tool unattended, even brieﬂy,

always remove the battery. An unattended tool

with the battery still inside could be used by an

unauthorized person, who could seriously injure

themselves or others.

If grass or twigs become caught between the cut-

ting blade and protective cover, turn off the tool

and remove the battery before clearing it out.

Otherwise, the cutting blade could accidentally

turn on and severely injure you.

Never touch any moving part until it has come to

a full stop and you have removed the battery.

If the cutting blade strikes a rock or another hard

object, turn off the tool, remove the battery, and

check for damage.

Regularly inspect the cutting blade for cracks and

other damage. Before any such inspection, turn

off the tool, remove the battery, and wait for the

moving parts to come to a complete stop. Even

a slightly cracked cutting blade requires replace-

ment.

Do not lift the machine to mow at heights. The

maximum height to which the machine can be

raised is waist height. Do not use the machine at

heights.

Wait until the machine reaches maximum speed

before mowing.

When mowing, move the tool smoothly in a half-

arc left to right, as when using a scythe.

Only hold the tool by its handles, which are in-

sulated, in case the cutting blade strikes hidden

power cables. In that case, the exposed metal

parts of the tool can become “live” with electricity

and pose an electrocution hazard.

Do not turn on the tool if the cutting head is

fouled by grass.

Before starting the tool, check that the cutting

blade is not touching the ground or foreign ob-

jects (e.g. trees).

Always use both hands to hold the tool. Never

hold a running tool in one hand.

Always switch off the machine and remove the

battery:

• whenever the machine is left unattended;

• before removing a blockage;

• before checking, cleaning or working on the

machine;

• after encountering a foreign object;

• if the machine starts to vibrate excessively;

• if you make adjustments and before replac-

ing accessories and storing;

• whenever you move the machine to another

location.

Cutting tool

Only use cutting tools (cutting blades or nylon

strings) supplied with the tool or recommended

by the manufacturer.

The cutting tools are suitable for:

• Nylon string: mowing grass

• Cutting blade: mowing weeds, tall grass,

bushes, undergrowth, thickets, etc.

• Never use other types of cutting tools, such

as metal rotary chains and mattock blades.

These could cause serious injury.

Only use cutting tools rated for the same speed

as the machine, or higher.

Keep your hands, face, and clothing at a sufﬁcient

distance from moving cutting tools. There is a risk

of serious injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

17ENGLISH

Always use a protective cover suitable for your

type of cutting tool.

Avoid recoil when using the tool.

Recoil

Recoil (blade pull) is a sudden reaction to

a snagged or tangled cutting blade. When this

happens, the tool is ﬂung to the side or towards

the operator with great force, and may cause se-

rious injury.

Recoil occurs primarily when a part of the cutting

tool (in the arc between 12 and 2 o’clock posi-

tions) touches a hard object, such as a shrub or

tree of more than 3 cm diameter.

To prevent recoil:

• Increase the angle of contact (between 8 and

11 o’clock positions).

• Prevent contact between the 12 and 2 o’clock

positions.

• Inexperienced or untrained operators work-

ing alone should avoid contact at angles of

11-12 o’clock and 2-5 o’clock.

• Do not use the cutting tool close to solid ob-

jects such as fences, walls, tree stumps, rocks,

etc.

• Never use the tool for vertical lawn edge or

hedge trimming.

Vibrations

Persons with cardiovascular disorders may suffer

vascular or nerve damage from excessive vibra-

tion exposure. Vibration may cause the following

symptoms in ﬁngers, hands, or wrists: loss of feel-

ing, pins-and-needles sensation, pain, stabbing

pain, skin discoloration, skin loss. If you develop

any of these symptoms, seek medical treatment.

To reduce the risk of “white ﬁnger” (Ray-

naud’s phenomenon), keep your hands warm

while working and maintain the tool and its ac-

cessories in good order.

Transport

Before transporting the tool, turn it off and re-

move the battery. If the tool is equipped with

a protective cover, put it on.

Carry the tool horizontally, holding it by the shaft.

When transporting the tool by vehicle, secure it

against moving in the cargo compartment. Dam-

age to the tool or property may result otherwise.

Maintenance

The tool may only be serviced at an authorized

service centre, using only original replacement

parts. Improper repair and maintenance neglect

reduce the tool’s useful life and increase the risk

of hazardous situations.

Before maintenance, repair or cleaning, turn off

the tool and remove the battery.

Before handling the cutting blade, always put on

gloves.

Always clean dust and dirt from the tool. Do not

clean the tool with gasoline, solvents, alcohol, etc.

Otherwise, the tool’s plastic parts may become

discoloured, deformed, or cracked.

Check and tighten all nuts and bolts after each

use.

Do not perform any repair or maintenance tasks

not described in this manual. Contact an author-

ized service centre.
