Safety instructions

WARNING. Read and understand all instructions. Failure

to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool”
in all of the warnings below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

Save these instructions
Work area

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Personal safety

• 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
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.

• 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.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities ensure that these
are connected and properly used. Use of these devices

can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

• 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.

• 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.

4

• Turn tool off completely before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of starting the power tool accidentally.

•

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.

• Maintain power tools. 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 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 intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

personnel using only identical replacement parts.

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

sunlight, high ambient temperature and damp, wet or
high humidity conditions.

• Do not smoke while refuelling. This is potentially

dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and cause an
explosion.

• Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the line

trimmer ensure that the motor has been switched off.
Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with
the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine running.

• Be careful where you store the line trimmer. Store

the line trimmer in a dry area away from flammable
liquids.

• Keep your distance. The line trimmer emits exhaust

fumes. Ensure bystanders keep a safe distance.

• Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix

40 parts unleaded fuel to 1 part 2-stroke oil. If not,
the engine will overheat and cause damage to your
line trimmer.

• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when

engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling
fuel tank.

Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your petrol line trimmer is faulty or that a part is
missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the
tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has
been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.

Additional safety rules for petrol line
trimmers

• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas

include where there is a risk of explosion of petrol
fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.

• Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases,

smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.
