4 SYMBOLS

The following symbols are used in this manual and/or on the machine:

5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1 Working area

 Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.  Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the

presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

 Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.  Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed .

 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will

increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

Page 4

 Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

POWXG3006/POWXG3007 EN

tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.

Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by

a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

5.3 Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

 Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

 Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable

you to retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

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

away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

 If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure

that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you

want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who

are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other

feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, 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 which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

5.5 Service

 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts.

This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR GRASS TRIMMERS

Your trimmer is supplied with a fully disposable cutting line cartridge which does away with the troublesome rewinding of the cutting line.

A) Cap B) Cap released latch C) Spool holder

D) Spool E) Eyelet

To replace an empty cutting line cartridge, press both of the cap release latches on the cap and withdraw it out of the spool holder; Then remove the spool. Feed the two cutting lines through the eyelets of the spool holder and put the spool into the box. Press the cap into the spool holder and lock it into place with the cap release latches.

Take the sleeve out of the spool by using a tool, such as screwdriver.

Feed one end of the line into one of the eyelets on the spool, and melt the end of the line into a burl to stop it from slipping out the hole. Use the same method for the other end.

Rewind the line in the direction of the arrow, then fix both of the lines into the slots to prevent them from coming loose.

10 REPLACEMENT OF THE CUTTING LINE CARTRIDGE

Page 10

POWXG3006/POWXG3007 EN

Feed the two ends of the cutting line through the eyelets of the sleeve.

Put the sleeve around the spool and cover the cutting line.

Short or worn lines cut less efficiently. To

improve the trimmer’s subsequent performance,

tap the spool button lightly on the ground while the trimmer is running at full speed. This automatically feeds out extra cutting line. The cutting line blade situated under the guard will automatically trim the cutting line to the correct length during the operation.

NOTE: Hitting hard and abrasive objects such as fences, concrete and rocks within and around long grass may cause the cutting line to disappear. It can easily be drawn out of the cartridge by following these simple instructions.
