Electrical safety  
Vibration  
1.  
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never  
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any  
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power  
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will  
reduce risk of electric shock.  
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-  
mined according to EN62841-2-17:  
Work mode: rotation without load  
Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2 or less  
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2  
2.  
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded  
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-  
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.  
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been  
measured in accordance with a standard test method  
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.  
3.  
4.  
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-  
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase  
the risk of electric shock.  
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also  
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.  
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for  
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.  
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges  
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords  
increase the risk of electric shock.  
WARNING: The vibration emission during  
actual use of the power tool can differ from the  
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which  
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece  
is processed.  
5.  
6.  
7.  
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of  
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of  
electric shock.  
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea-  
sures to protect the operator that are based on an  
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of  
use (taking account of all parts of the operating  
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched  
off and when it is running idle in addition to the  
trigger time).  
If operating a power tool in a damp location  
is unavoidable, use a residual current device  
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces  
the risk of electric shock.  
Power tools can produce electromagnetic fields  
(EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However,  
users of pacemakers and other similar medical  
devices should contact the maker of their device and/  
or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.  
EC Declaration of Conformity

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery  
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for  
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected  
situations.  
9.  
Always wear protective goggles to protect  
your eyes from injury when using power tools.  
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in  
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336  
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New  
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face  
shield to protect your face, too.  
9.  
When using the tool, do not wear cloth work  
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-  
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may  
result in personal injury.  
Battery tool use and care

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for  
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire  
when used with another battery pack.  
2.  
3.  
Use power tools only with specifically desig-  
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery  
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.  
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away  
from other metal objects, like paper clips,  
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal  
objects, that can make a connection from one  
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-  
nals together may cause burns or a fire.  
4.  
5.  
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be  
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-  
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If  
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical  
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause  
irritation or burns.  
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce  
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-  
ments by the tool operators and by other per-  
sons in the immediate working area.  
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-  
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries  
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in  
fire, explosion or risk of injury.

NOTE: Before cutting on the actual workpiece, it is  
recommended to make a sample cut. The proper feed  
speed depends on the trimmer bit size, the kind of  
workpiece, and depth of cut. Moving the tool forward  
too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to  
the trimmer bit or motor. Moving the tool forward too  
slowly may burn and mar the cutting surface.
