WARNING! “Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications

provided with this power tool.” Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric

shock, re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers

to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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 atmospheres, 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 operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. 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 conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of 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. Use of 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 off-position before connecting to

power source and/or battery pack, 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 balance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and

ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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. 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.

e. 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.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. 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.

h) 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.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the

following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock, personal injury

and material damage.

Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency,

before operating the tool.

Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are

identical to the mains data.

This tool is double insulated therefore no earth wire is required.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid

a hazard.

Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The

insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure

within the tool.

Using an Extension Lead

Please only use power cables that are not damaged. The total length of the power cable should not exceed

40 meters; going beyond this distance will reduce the power output of the electric motor. The power cable

must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm2. The insulating sheath of lawn mower power cables is frequently

damaged.

Some of the causes for this are:

• Cuts caused by running over the cable

• Pinching when the power cable is dragging under doors and pulled through windows.

• Cracking due to old age of the insulation

• Kinking by improperly fastening or guiding the power cable.

The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must

be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only purchase power cables that are marked as such! Plugs

and socket couplers for the power cables must be made from rubber and be splashproof. There is a limit to

how long power cables can be. Longer power cables require larger conductor cross-sections. Power cables

and connecting lines must be regularly checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-energized before

checking them. Completely unwind the power cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs and socket

couplers for kinks.
