General Safety Information
1. Observe the surrounding conditions under which you are working. The motorized equipment
produces toxic fumes as soon as the engine is running. These gases may be odourless and
invisible. Therefore, never work with the equipment in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
Ensure adequate ventilation when working. Ensure a safe stance in the wet, snow and ice, on
slopes and on uneven territory.
2. Do not allow strangers to use the equipment. Visitors and onlookers –particularly children and
people who are ill or infirm – must be kept away from the workplace. Prevent other people from
coming into contact with the tools. Do not pass on the equipment to people who are unfamiliar
with the equipment and its handling.
3. Ensure the safe transport and storage of the equipment. Always carry the equipment suspended
by the carrying strap on the tube. Equipment that is not in use must be stored in a dry place as
high up as possible or locked away to be inaccessible.
4. Always use the right tool for any work. E.g. do not use small tools or accessories for work that
should actually be performed with heavy tools. Use tools only for the purposes for which they
have been constructed.
5. Ensure appropriate clothing. Clothing must be appropriate and not impede you when working.
Wear clothing with cut protection pads.
6. Use personal protective equipment. Wear safety boots with steel caps / steel soles and
non-slip soles. Wear a hard hat if there is a risk of falling objects when working.
7. Wear safety goggles. Objects may be thrown out. Serious eye injuries may result.
8. Wear ear protection. Wear personal sound protection, e.g. earplugs.
9. Hand protection. Wear strong gloves – leather gloves offer good protection.
10. Operating the equipment. Never work without the protection on the cutting tool. Risk of injury
from objects being thrown out.
11. Remove the socket wrench etc. All keys or similar must be removed before the equipment is
switched on.
12. Stay alert at all times. Pay attention to what you are doing. Use your common sense. Do not
use motorized tools when you are tired. Work with the equipment must not be carried out under
the influence of alcohol, drugs or medications, which impair reactions.
13. Filling with fuel.
• Always adhere to the current fire regulations and the respective state/federal regulations for
fire prevention.
• Fuel and fuel fumes are highly flammable.
Do not fill with fuel when the engine is running or still hot. When filling up, ensure good
ventilation. Smoking and open flames are prohibited.
5
• Always switch off the engine before filling. Always open the filler cap with care, so any excess
pressure present can be relieved slowly and no fuel sprays out. The work with the equipment
causes high temperatures on the housing. The equipment must therefore be allowed to cool
before filling. Otherwise, the fuel could ignite and cause serious injuries.
• When filling with fuel, ensure that the tank is not overfilled. If liquid misses, this must be
cleared away immediately and the equipment cleaned.
• After filling, ensure that the seal screw is sitting properly in order to prevent it from coming
loose as a result of the vibrations caused during the work.
• Watch out for leaks. Do not start the engine if fuel is leaking. Risk of death as a result
of burns!
14. Usage duration and breaks. Prolonged use of the motorised equipment can cause circulation
disorders in the hands as a result of the vibration. However, the usage duration can be
extended with suitable gloves or regular breaks. Be aware that personal tendency to poor
circulation, low external temperatures and high gripping forces will reduce the usage duration
when working.
15. Be aware of damaged parts. Before initial operation and after severe impacts, check the
equipment for signs of damage and wear. Are individual parts damaged? In case of slight
damage ask seriously whether the tool will nonetheless work properly and safely. Ensure
correct alignment and adjustment of moving parts. Do the parts interlock correctly? Are parts
damaged? Is everything correctly installed? Are all the other requirements in place for proper
functioning? Damaged safety devices etc must be repaired or replaced by authorised people if
there is no explanation otherwise in the operating instructions. Defective switches must be
replaced by an authorized body. If repairs are required, please contact a customer service
centre authorized by us.
16. Always switch off the engine before undertaking adjustments or maintenance work. This
particularly applies for work on the cutting head.
17. Use only authorised parts. In case of maintenance and repair, use only identical spare parts.
Contact the service centre for spare parts.
Warning!
The use of other nylon heads as well as accessories and attachments
that are not explicitly recommended can result in danger to people and
objects. The tool is to be used only for the intended purpose. Any
misappropriation is regarded as improper use. The user alone – and
definitely not the manufacturer – is responsible for property and personal
damage resulting from such improper use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable if machines from the same are
modified or used improperly and damage occurs as a result.

Caution! A certain residual risk, which cannot be eliminated, always remains even
in the case of proper use of the tool. The following potential hazards can be
derived from the type and design of the tool:
• Contact with the unprotected cutting head (cuts).
• Reaching into the scythe when it is running (cuts).
• Hearing damage if no appropriate protection is worn.
• Dust and gas formation that is harmful to health if the equipment is used in enclosed spaces
(nausea).
Additional Safety Regulations
1. Caution! Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting area, particularly
when starting the equipment.
2. Always hold the equipment with both hands on the multifunction handle.
Always keep the equipment at an appropriately safe distance from the body and assume a stable
body position. Always use the carrying strap.
3. Always wear safety goggles.
4. Use the equipment only in daylight or with the option of good artificial lighting.
5. Do not use the equipment in the rain or on damp grass.
6. Before use or after an impact, check the equipment for possible damage; repair if necessary.
7. Do not use the equipment if the safety devices are damaged or not correctly installed.
8. Ensure that the engine ventilation slots, protective cover and cutting device are always free of
dirt or residues.
9. During the work processes, always ensure that there are neither people nor animals within a
radius of at least 15 m. Switch off the equipment immediately if anyone and particularly a child
comes into the range of the machine. When using the equipment, stones and other elements
that can cause serious injuries can be thrown out.
10. When the equipment is in operation, keep away from the moving parts (in the area of the
cutting devices). After switching off, the cutting head continues to turn for a few seconds.
11. Before using the equipment, remove stones, twigs and any other solid material from the
working area. Start the machine only as described in the instructions. It must not be turned
upside down or be in the working position when it is started. Do not cross gravel roads or
paths with the equipment running.

Precautions to Prevent Recoil
12. The greatest care is required when extending the cutting thread. Risk of injury from cuts. After
executing these processes, reassume the correct working position before switching on the
equipment.
13. Do not use metallic cutting reels or saw blades. Note that the equipment remains in operation
for a few seconds after the switch is released.
14. Switch off the engine when:
- Refuelling the equipment,
- Not using it,
- Leaving it unattended,
- Cleaning it,
- Transporting it from one location to another,
- Removing or replacing the cutting device and manually adjusting the length of the
cutting thread.
When the metal cutting blade is used, there is a risk of recoil if the blade edge hits an obstacle
(stone, wood).
• Hold the equipment firmly in both hands.
• Ensure that there are no obstacles on the ground and do not use the metal cutting disk near
fences, metal posts or similar.
8
In case of recoil, the user receives a powerful jolt from the motorized
strimmer. This may result in loss of control of the equipment and in
serious injury. Recoil can be avoided by care and correct technique.
