which might cause injuries.

• Wear suitable working clothes and

personal protection equipment! Always

wear goggles or other eye protection,

ear protection, boots or shoes with non-

slip soles and sturdy long trousers as

well as gloves. This will reduce the risk

of injury.

Do not wear long clothing or jewellery

because these might be caught by mov-

ing parts. Do not operate the appliance

bare-footed or when wearing open san-

dals.

• Be particularly careful when working

down a slope. This will help you better

control the appliance in unanticipated

situations.

• Do not operate the appliance when you

are tired or after drinking alcohol or tak-

ing tablets. Have regular breaks.

Make sure the light is good during op-

eration.

• Do not work in the rain, bad weather or

in wet environments. Water penetrating

the appliance will increase the risk of

electric shock.

• The safety device and your personal

protection equipment protect yourself

and the health of others and will ensure

that the appliance is working properly:

Do not operate a damaged or incom-

plete appliance or an appliance that has

been manipulated without the manu-

facturer’s permission. Never operate

the appliance if the safety devices are

defective. Prior to operation, check that

the appliance is in a safe state taking

the switch and the protective cover.

• When turning on the appliance and

when the motor is running, keep the

trimming assembly away from all parts

of your body and mainly from your

hands and feet. Risk of injury!

• Do not start the appliance when it is

upside down or not in working position.

Risk of injury!

• Turn off the appliance and remove the

battery when:

- leaving the appliance unattended,

- cleaning or servicing the appliance,

- replacing the trimming assembly.

This precaution will prevent the appli-

ance from starting unintentionally.

• When starting or working with the ap-

pliance, make sure that the cutting disk

does not contact stones, gravel, wire or

other foreign bodies.

• After turning off the appliance, the trim-

ming assembly will keep revolving for a

couple of seconds:

Never try to stop the trimming assembly

by hand. Always wait until it has stopped

on its own. Risk of injury!

• Only use OEM cutting inserts. You are

not allowed to use a metal insert instead

of the plastic insert. Metal inserts may

cause accidents.

• Do not use the appliance to cut grass

not growing on the ground such as

grass growing on walls, rocks, etc.

• Do not cross gravel walks or streets with

the appliance still running. Risk of injury

• Do not operate the appliance near in- -

• In the area of operation, the operator is

liable for damages caused others as a

result of operating the appliance.

• Check that the ventilation slots are not

clogged up.

• Keep the appliance in a dry place and

out of the reach of children.

• Only use spares and accessories deliv-

ered and recommended by the manu-

facturer. This will ensure safe operation

of the appliance in the long term.

• Do not try to repair the appliance your-

self. Work not described in this instruc-

tion manual must only be done by cus-

tomer service centres authorised by us.

• Only operate the electric tools on the -

• If not in use, keep the battery away from

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws

and other small metal objects that may

jumper the contacts. A short circuit be-

tween the battery contacts may cause

• Inappropriate use of the battery may

cause liquid to escape from it. Avoid any

contact with this liquid. If you do get into

contact with it wash the affected part

with water. Also consult a doctor if the

liquid gets into your eyes. Battery liquid

may irritate your skin or cause burns.

• Before inserting the battery, check that

the appliance is turned off. Inserting a

battery in a turned-on electric tool may

cause accidents.

• Recharge the batteries indoors only

because the battery charger is designed

for indoor use only.

• To reduce the electric shock hazard, un-

plug the battery charger from the mains

before cleaning the charger.

• Do not expose the battery to strong

sunlight for longer periods of time and

do not deposit it on radiators. Heat will

damage the battery and cause a risk of

explosion.

• Allow the battery to cool down before

you recharge it.

• Do not open the battery and avoid me-

chanical damage to the battery. There is

a risk of short circuit and the escape of

vapours that will irritate the respiratory

system. Let in fresh air and consult a

doctor if you are feeling physical symp-

toms.

• Do not use non-rechargeable batteries!

Correct handling of the battery charger

• To charge the battery, use only the -

sion.

• Before each use, check the charger,

cable and plug and have them repaired

original parts. Do not use a defective

charger and do not open it up yourself.

This ensures that the safety of the de-

vice is maintained.

• Ensure that the mains voltage matches

plate. Risk of electric shock.

• Disconnect the charger from the mains

before closing or opening connection to

the battery / power tool / device.

• Keep the charger clean and away from

wet and rain. Do not use the charger

outdoors. Dirt and the entry of water in-

crease the risk of electric shock.

• Operate the charger only with the appro-

priate original batteries. Charging other

batteries may result in injuries and risk

• Avoid mechanical damage to the

charger. This can result in internal short

circuits.

• Do not operate the charger on a com-

bustible surface (e.g. paper, textiles. -

ing.

• If the power cable for the battey charger

is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, a customer service agent

son in order to prevent hazards.

• The battery of the appliance is not fully

charged at the time of delivery. It there-

fore needs to be fully recharged before

recharge cycle we recommend that you

charge the battery for about 3-5 hour. Slot

the battery into the base and plug the

battery charger into a mains outlet.

• When the battery is fully charged, un-

plug the charger from the mains and

from the appliance. Charging time is ap-

prox. 3-5 hour.

• Do not charge the battery continuously

since this may damage the battery cells.

Note: Repeatedly charging small capaci-

ties may damage the battery cells. Re-

charge the battery only if the appliance

is becoming slow.
