• 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.
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.
• Protect your tool. This line trimmer is NOT
WEATHERPROOF and should not be exposed to direct
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.
