5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power
tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1 Work area
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
5.2 Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
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.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
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.
5.3 Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require
will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
POWDPG7553 EN
Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 7 www.varo.com
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
5.4 Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 sticking 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 stick 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 lead to a hazardous situation.
5.5 Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
6.1 Brush cutter /Trimmer
Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the brush cutter/string trimmer or these instructions to
operate the tool. Brush cutter and string trimmers are dangerous in the hands of untrained

non-building materials.
The first time user should have practical instruction in the use of chainsaw and the
protective equipment from an experienced operator.
Do not attempt to hold the saw with one hand only. You cannot control reactive forces
and you may lose control of the saw, which can result in the skating or bouncing of the bar
and chain along the limb or log.
Never run the chainsaw indoors. Your chainsaw produces poisonous exhaust as soon as
the combustible engine is started, which may be colourless and odourless. To use this
product can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause
reproductive harm. Be aware of harmful dust, mist (such as saw dust or oil mist from chain
lubrication) and protect yourself properly.
Wear gloves and keep your hand warm. Prolonged use of chainsaws exposing the
operator to vibrations may produce whitefinger disease. In order to reduce the risk of
whitefinger disease, please wear gloves and keep your hand warm. If any of the
whitefinger symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
Drive in the spiked bumper of the chainsaw directly behind the intended hinge and pivot
the saw around this point. The spiked bumper rolls against the trunk.

7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.
7.1 Batteries
Never attempt to open for any reason.
Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do
not incinerate the battery.
7.2 Chargers
Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Have defective cords replaced immediately.
Do not expose to water.
Do not open the charger.
Do not probe the charger.
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
8 CHARGING AND INSERTION OR REMOVAL OF BATTERY
8.1 Charger indications
Connect the charger to the power oulet socket

Flickering red: charging
Solid green: charged
Solid green en red: battery or charger damaged
POWDPG7553 EN
Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 16 www.varo.com
10.5 Stopping the machine
To switch the appliance off, release the switch trigger.
10.6 Working with the hedge trimmer
While cutting, make sure that you do not touch any objects, such as wire
fences or plant supports. This can cause damage to the cutter bar.
To avoid eye injuries, always wear safety goggles while working with the hedge trimmer.
Always hold the device tightly with both hands, with one hand on the rear handle and the
other hand on the front round handle (A6). Your thumb and fingers must tightly clasp the
handles.
Check the carrying harness (A 51B) for comfortable positioning which facilitates holding
the hedge trimmer.
If the blades become jammed with solid objects, switch the device off immediately, pull the
mains plug, and remove the object.
Avoid over-stressing the device while working.
10.7 Working with the chain saw
If the saw chain gets stuck, do not attempt to pull out the pruner with force.
There is a risk of injury. Turn the motor off and use a lever arm or wedge to
release the pruner.
You will have better control over the device if you saw using the lower edge of the blade
bar (saw chain in pulling direction) and not using the upper edge of the blade bar (saw
chain in pushing direction).
The saw chain must not touch the ground or any object while sawing through the material
or thereafter.
Ensure that the saw chain does not get stuck while sawing. The log must not break or
splinter.
Please also observe the precautionary measures to protect against kickback (see the
safety information).
Remove branches hanging downwards by sawing from the top of the branch.
Twisted branches must be individually cut down to size.
10.8 Working using the thread spool
In small grass areas hold the device at an angle of about 30° and swing the cutting head
evenly to the right and left with a semi-circular movement.
The best results are obtained with a maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass is taller,
it is recommended to mow several times.
To cut around trees, fence posts or other obstacles, slowly move the device around the
obstacle and cut with the thread ends.
Avoid any contact with fixed obstacles (rocks, walls, picket fences, etc.). The thread would
wear out quickly. Use the edge of the protective cover to keep the device at the correct
distance.
Attention! Do not lay the cutting head on the ground during operation!
10.9 Working with the 3-tooth blade
POWDPG7553 EN
Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 17 www.varo.com
Always wear the harness and suitable protection clothing when working
with the device. Wear eye, hearing and head protection. Ensure that the
blade is installed correctly. Replace damaged or blunt tool parts. There is a
risk of injury.
Only use the blade to work on open, even areas. Carefully inspect the area to be cut and
remove all foreign bodies. Avoid hitting stones, metal or other obstacles. The blade can be
damaged and there is a risk of kickback by the machine.
When working, hold the cutter above the ground and slowly swivel the device back and
forth like a scythe in an equal arch.
Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
Do not use the device to cut wild growth or brushwood.
Regularly check the blades for damage and replace as needed.
10.10 Trimming procedures
When properly equipped with a debris shield and stringhead, your unit will trim unsightly
weeds and tall grass in those hard-to-reach areas - along fences, walls, foundations and
around trees. It can also be used for scalping to remove vegetation down to the ground for
easier preparation of a garden or to clean out a particular area.
NOTE: Even if you are careful, trimming around foundations, brick or stone
walls, curves, etc., will result in above-normal string wear. To renew the
wire, press the lower spool knob against the ground with rotating trimmer.
10.10.1 Trimming / mowing
Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion from side to side. Do not tilt the stringhead during the
procedure. Test area to be trimmed for proper cutting height. Keep stringhead at same level
for even depth of cut.
10.10.2 Closer trimming
Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so bottom of stringhead is above ground level
and string contact occurs at proper cutting point. Always cut away from operator. Do not pull
trimmer in towards operator.
10.10.3 Fence / foundation trimming
Approach trimming around chain link fences, picket fences, rock walls and foundations slowly
to cut close without whipping string against the barrier. If the string comes in contact with rock,
brick walls, or foundations, it will break or fray. If string hits fencing, it will snap off.
10.10.4 Trimming around trees
Trim around tree trunks slowly so string does not contact bark. Walk around the tree trimming
from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the string and tilt stringhead slightly
forward
10.10.5 Scalping
WARNING: Use extreme caution when SCALPING. Keep a distance of 30
meters (100 feet) between operator, other people and animals during these
operations.

10.13.1 Sawing off small branches:
Place the locating surface of the saw against the branch in order to prevent jerky
movements of the saw when you begin to cut it. Guide the saw with light pressure from the
top to the bottom through the branch. Watch out for premature breakage of the branch if
you have misjudged the size and weight.
10.13.2 Sawing off larger branches:
In the case of larger branches, select a relief cut first of all to ensure that the sawing
process is controlled. To do this, saw an incision into the bottom third of the branch (with
the upper side of the blade). Then saw from top to bottom towards the first cut (with the
underside of the blade)
10.13.3 Sawing in sections:
Saw off large or long branches in sections so that you have control over the place where the
branch section lands.
Saw the lower branches of the tree off first in order to make it easier for the branches that
have been cut off to fall to the ground.
After the cut is completed, the weight of the saw increases abruptly for the operator, as the
saw is no longer supported on the branch. There is a danger that you will lose control of
the device.
You should only pull the saw out of the cut with the saw chain running in order to avoid
jamming.
Do not saw with the tip of the cutting equipment.
Do not saw the bulge at the base of the branch because this will prevent the tree from
healing.
