• Always be sure of your footing.

Particularly on slopes.

.

• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction 

on slopes.

.

• Do not cut excessively steep slopes and always

wear non-slip footwear.

• Walk, never run.

.

• Ensure the lines have stopped rotating and

take extreme care before lifting your trimmer for 

and during transportation.

.

• Never operate your trimmer with defective

guards or shields.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Always  check  that  power  supply 

corresponds to the voltage rating plate.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Your electric tool is double insulated.

This means that all external metal parts 

are electrically isolated from the power 

supply.  This is achieved by placing an 

extra  insulation  barrier  between  the 

electrical and mechanical parts.  Double 

insulation means greater electrical safety 

and there is no need to have your 

electrical tool earthed.

• Your trimmer will continue to run for a

short time after releasing the switch lever.  Always 

allow your trimmer to stop on its own.

.

• Release the switch to turn your trimmer off

and remove the plug from the mains:

.

- Whenever you leave your trimmer unattended.

.

- Before checking, cleaning, adjusting or

working on your trimmer.

.

- If your trimmer starts to vibrate abnormally

(check immediately).

.

- After striking a foreign object.  Inspect your

trimmer for damage and make repairs

as necessary.

.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts.

.

• Do not use your trimmer in the rain and do

not allow it to get wet. Avoid using your grass 

trimmer in wet grass, if possible.

.

• Use your grass trimmer only in daylight or

good artificial light. 

• Do not walk backwards when operating.
