from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
F. Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.
G. The device should not be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental abilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless such persons are supervision
or training to operate the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to not use the device as a toy.
4. Power tool use and care
A. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
B. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
C. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
D. Remove the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
E. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children,
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
F. Store idle appliances indoors. When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high
or locked-up place, out of the reach of children.
G. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the operation
of the power tool. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
H. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
I. Use the power tool in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
J. Keep guards in place and in working order.
5. Service
A. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
B. If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its authorized service agent or a
similarly qualified in order to avoid hazard.
6. Extension Cord
Ensure that your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table lists the correct
cord size depending on the length of the cord. If you are in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the gauge.
Extension Cord Length
7.6 m (25 feet)
15.0 m (50 feet)
30.5 m (100 feet)
45.7 m (150 feet)
Note:
Do not use an extension cord over 45.7 m (150
feet) long.
To reduce the risk of disconnection of the extension cord
during use, connect the extension cord to the trimmer as
illustrated in Operation (page
The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or metal capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
