tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
•
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool´s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, 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.
•
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
•
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
•
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritations or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C / 265 °F may cause
explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.
Service
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
1846 - 003 - 24.02.2023
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
•
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

safety warnings
•
Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the
machine during operation.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones,
and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
•
Before using the machine, always visually inspect
to see that the cutter or blade and the cutter or
blade assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts
increase the risk of injury.
•
Follow instructions for changing accessories.
Improperly tightened blade securing nuts or bolts
may either damage the blade or result in it becoming
detached.
•
The rated rotational speed of the cutter must be at
least equal to the maximum rotational speed marked
on the machine. Cutters running faster than their
rated rotational speed can break and fly apart.
•
Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury by
flying debris or accidental contact with the cutting
line or blade.
•
While operating the machine, always wear safety
footwear. Do not operate the machine when barefoot
or wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of
injury to the feet from contact with a moving cutter,
line or blade.
•
While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of
injury from thrown objects.
•
Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
•
Always use two hands when operating the machine.
Holding the machine with both hands will avoid loss
of control.
•
Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutting line or blade may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the machine "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
•
Always keep proper footing and operate the machine
only when standing on the ground. Slippery or
unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or
control of the machine.
•
Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control,
