uncultivated growth at ground level. Never use the brushcutter for any other purpose (section 8.1 "Scope of

Application").

Read the operating instructions carefully before placing in service and keep them in a safe place.

Use this power tool with particular caution.

Non-observance of safety instructions can lead to a risk to life. Also observe any regulations from your

professional body. These operating instructions must always be available at the place of work. All individuals

instructed to work with the equipment (including maintenance, care and repair), should read these instructions.

• You should request and receive instructions from the vendor on the safe operation if you are using this type

of product for the first time.

• Children and young people under 18 years may not work with this power tool, with the exception of young

people over 16 years of age who are being trained under supervision.

• Keep bystanders and animals away from the working area. Maintain a minimum distance of 15 m. When

working near thickets, be aware that children and animals may be hidden there. Immediately stop the

machine and the cutter if any person or animal comes close to the working area. The operator is

responsible for any accidents or damage caused to parties or property.

• The device must only be lent, hired or passed on to persons who are familiar with this type of tool and who

have read the operating instructions and know how to use the tool. Always pass on both sets of operating

instructions together with the tool.

accident!

• Only use those accessories and attachments that have been supplied by the manufacturer and that are

expressly approved for attachment. When using a nylon head, never replace a plastic line with a steel line.

Always use the appropriate contact protection with each cutter.

• Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap when changing cutters to prevent unintentional

starting of the engine.

• The reliability and safe operation of your machine depend on the quality of parts used with the machine.

Only use original spare parts. Original spare parts are identical with genuine production parts and

guarantee best quality in material, dimensions, function and safety. Original parts and accessories are

available from your specialist dealer. Your dealer has been supplied with appropriate documentation to

determine the correct parts. Your dealer is frequently supplied with updates about improvements to the

equipment. Please note that the use of non-original parts will void your warranty.
