Electrical safety

• The connector plug on the product must 

fit into the socket. Under no circum-
stances alter the plug. Do not use earthed 
electrical tools in conjunction with an 
adapter. Unmodified plugs and suitable 
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Avoid physical contact with grounded 

surfaces, such as those of pipes, radia-
tors, cookers and refrigerators. The risk 
of electric shock increases if your body is 
earthed.

• Keep electrical tools away from rain and 

wet. The risk of electric shock increases if 
water penetrates an electrical tool.

• Switch off device in case of power inter-

ruption and pull mains plug. This prevents 
the unintentional use of the use in case of 
voltage return.

• Check whether the locking device is 

locked and lock this if required in case of 
power interruption and each setting of 
the device. Otherwise the device may 
start unexpectedly when the power is 
supplied.

• Do not use the cable to carry the product, 

hang it up or pull the plug out of the 
socket. Keep the cable away from heat, 
oil, sharp edges and any moving machine 
parts. Damaged or tangled cables 
increase the risk of electric shock.

• If the connecting cable becomes dam-

aged, it must be replaced by an expert.

• If you require to work with an extension 

cable, this must be approved for this 
application field and must have sufficient 
cross-section. Otherwise power loss in 
case of the device and overheating of the 
cable may occur. If you are not certain, 
contact a specialist.

• If you use an electrical tool outdoors, use 

only extension cables suitable for out-
door use. Using an extension cable that is 
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk 
of electric shock.

• When operating the electrical tool in a 

damp environment cannot be avoided, 
use a fault current circuit breaker with a 
trip current of 30 mA or less. The use of a 
fault current circuit breaker reduces the 
risk of electric shock.

• Do not overload the product. Carry out 

your work using only the electrical tool 
intended. You will work more efficiently 
and safely if you use the correct electrical 
tool within its stated performance range.

• Do not use an electrical tool with a defec-

tive switch. A electrical tool that can be 
no longer switched on or off is dangerous 
and must be repaired.

• Pull the plug from the socket and/or 

remove the rechargeable battery before 
making adjustments, replacing compo-
nents or putting the device away. These 
precautionary measures will prevent the 
device from being started accidentally.

• Keep unused electrical tools out of the 

reach of children. Do not allow the prod-
uct to be used by anyone who is not 
familiar with it or has not read these oper-
ating instructions. Electrical tools are 
dangerous if used by inexperienced per-
sons.

• Handle electrical tools with care. Check 

that moving parts are functioning prop-
erly and do not stick, whether parts are 
broken or have been damaged in a way 
that impairs the function of the electrical 
tool. Have the damaged parts repaired 
before you use the product. Poorly main-
tained electrical tools are a common 
cause of accidents.

• Use electrical tools, accessories, inter-

changeable tools etc. in accordance with 
these instructions. In doing so, take 
working conditions and the work to be 
performed into consideration.

• Using electrical tools for applications 

other than those intended can result in 
dangerous situations.

• Remove the setting tools or spanners 

before switching on the device. A tool or 
spanner left in a rotating part of the prod-
uct can result in injury.

• Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure 

that the device is switched off before it is 
connected to the power supply and/or 
battery, removed or carried. Carrying the 
electrical tool with your finger on the 
switch or connected to the power supply 
can lead to accidents.

Safety instructions for lawn mowers

• Keep the power cable away from the 

rotating blades. The blades can damage 
the cable and result in an electric shock.

• Do not touch the rotating blades until the 

product has been disconnected from the 
mains and the blades have come to a 
complete standstill.

• Always hold the product firmly in both 

hands.
