Allow only persons who fully understand
this manual to operate your trimmer.
To receive maximum performance and

is important that you read, understand
and follow the safety precautions and
the operating and maintenance
instructions in the chapters "Important
Safety Instructions" and "Safety

before using your trimmer. For further

WARNING
Because a trimmer is a high-speed
cutting tool and is battery-powered,
some special safety precautions must
be observed to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Careless or improper
use may cause serious or even fatal
injury.
Make sure your unit is equipped with the
proper deflector and handle for the type
of cutting attachment being used.
Always wear proper eye protection.
