DANGER:

Use of any other accessories or attachments will increase the
risk of injury.

CAUTION!
The blade will continue to rotate after turning the trimmer OFF.
Wait until the blade has completely stopped before making
contact. Do not try to stop the cutting device with your hands.
Be careful of the blade, which can give deep cuts.
• Only use the type of blade originally provided with the
trimmer.
• Do not use the trimmer to cut grass which is not in contact
with the ground.
• Do not switch the grass trimmer on in enclosed or poorly
ventilated spaces or in the presence of inflammable and/or
explosive substances such as liquids, gas, and powders.
• Only cut during broad daylight or with corresponding
artificial light.
• Do not cross roads or gravel paths with the trimmer still
running.
• The trimmer must be operated vertical, perpendicular to the
ground.
• Check regularly that the screws are properly secured.
m
CAUTION!
The guard is critical to the safety of the operator and people
near the trimmer. The guard keeps the trimmer in good working
order and must always be in place during operation. Failure to
have the guard in place during operation is dangerous and will
void the warranty.
