Operating instructions
Use the right kind of tool
This user's manual describes the designated use of tools. Do not overload small tools or accessories
for work, where high performance tools are necessary. The tool will work better and more safely
on work for which it is designed. When using any accessories or additions or when performing
any kind of work, which is not recommended by this user's manual, there may be a risk of injury
to persons. Do not overload the tool.
Prevent the situation where the tool is turned on accidentally. Do not carry the tool with the fi nger
on the main trigger switch.
Never pull on the power cord when disconnecting power plug from the power socket. Do not lead
the power cord over greasy and hot surfaces and make sure that it does not go over sharp edges.
Connecting to the mains power supply
Before connecting the product to the power outlet ensure that the voltage on the label is the same as
voltage source in your power socket. It is recommended to connect this machine to a power socket that is
protected by current protection with a release current of 30 mA. Never hold the power plug with wet hands.
The connecting power socket on connecting elements must be made from rubber, soft PVC or
another thermoplastic material of the same strength, or must be coated with this material.
Used connecting power conductors must have the minimum parameters of a rubber cable H07RN-F
according to DIN 57 282/VDE 0282 and must have a diameter of at least 1.5 mm 2 . Power plug
connections must have protected contacts and connections protected against spraying water.
Guide the connecting power cord through the pull reduction on the guide handle and insert into the
combination trigger switch – power plug. Before use, check that the conductors are not damaged or
showing signs of material ageing. Never operate the string trimmer if the electrical lines are not in
perfect condition (also applies to lines going to the motor). If while trimming the lawn the power cord
is damaged, immediately pull the power plug out of the mains and only then check the damage.
The extension cord must have the cross section in accordance with the user's manual and must
be protected against spraying water. The power plug connection must not lie in water.
If the product's power cord is damaged, have an authorised service or qualifi ed person replace it,
in order to prevent hazards. It is forbidden to use a product with a damaged power cord or plug.
Do not disconnect the power cord from the electric power socket by pulling the power cord.
Avoid turning the string trimmer on and off too frequently in a short time period, namely playing
with the trigger switch.
Before stopping the string trimmer, cleaning it, and likewise before performing any inspection,
maintenance or repairs, turn off the string trimmer and disconnect it from the electrical power
source by pulling the power cord from the power socket.
The repairs of electrical parts may only be performed by an authorised service centre or the vendor.
On impact with a foreign object, turn off the motor, pull the power cord from the mains, identify the damage
and carry out the necessary repairs. Only then start the string trimmer again and continue working.
If the device starts to vibrate unusually, immediately pull the plug out of the socket and inspect the
string trimmer.
Do not work in such a way that limits the movement of the extension cord.
Do not place the power cord near hot surfaces, or over sharp objects. Do not place heavy objects
on the power cord. Position the cord so that it will not be stepped on or tripped over. Make sure the
power cord is not touching a hot surface.
Keep the power cord and extension cord at a suffi cient distance from the cutting mechanism.
Danger of electrical shock, always be aware of where the power cord is located.
