• How to use the electric grass trimmer

When using the machine, always use caution and take on

a rm and well-balanced position.

– Where possible, avoid working on wet, slippery ground

or in any case on uneven or steep ground that does not

guarantee stability for the operator.

– Never run, but walk carefully paying attention to the lay

of the land and any eventual obstacles.

– Assess the potential risks of the ground to be mown

and take all necessary precautions to en sure your own

safety, especially on slopes or on bumpy, slippery or

unstable ground.

– Work along the contour on slopes, never when walking

up or down and always keep downhill of the cutter.

Do not use the machine if you are unable to hold it with

both hands or keep it steady on your legs while working.

The machine must never be used by more than one per-

son.

Never use the machine if the user is tired or unwell, or has

taken medicine, drugs, alcohol or any substances which

may slow his reexes and compromise his judgement.

GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY WARNINGS

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-

mospheres, such as in the presence of ammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while oper-

ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Ne-

ver modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools.

Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will re duce risk

of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-

erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

d) Do not use the cord improperly. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the po wer

tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or en tangled cords in-

crease the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Using an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the o-position before connecting to power

source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying

power tools with your nger on the switch or energising

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result

in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
