17. Cutting elements continue to rotate after the motor is switched off. 18. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 19. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour. 20. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Cutting tool contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. 21. Do not use the tool on steep slopes. 22. The shoulder harness must be used during operation, if supplied with the tool. 23. Do not start the tool when the cutting tool is tangled with cut grass. 24. Before starting the tool, be sure that the cutting tool is not touching the ground and other obstacles such as a tree. 25. Always keep your hands, face, and clothes away from the cutting tool when it is rotating. Failure to do so may cause personal injury. 26. Only use the cutting tool that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool. Maintenance instructions 1.

When not in use store the equipment in an indoor dry location that is locked up or out of children's reach. 6. Use only the manufacturer's recommended replacement parts and accessories. 7. Inspect and maintain the tool regularly, especially before/after use. Have the tool repaired only by our authorized service center. 8. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 9.
