General instructions

1.

Never allow people unfamiliar with these instruc-

tions or children to use the machine. Local reg-

ulations can restrict the age of the operator.

 It is

dangerous in the hands of untrained users or children.

2.

Be sure that anyone who is to operate the 

string trimmer has first read the instruction 

manual.

Use the string trimmer with the utmost care

and attention.

4.

Operate the string trimmer only if you are in

to other people or their property.

— 

Carrying the string trimmer with your 

finger on the switch invites accidents.

immediately if it shows any signs of abnormal 

operation.

before making any adjustments, changing 

accessories or storing.

 Such preventive safety 

measures reduce the risk of starting the sting 

trimmer accidentally.

9.

Don't force the tool.

 It will do the job better and

with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for 

which it was designed.
