General safety instructions

Attention! Read all instructions contained herein. Fail-
ure to observe the following instructions may result in
electric shock, burns and/or severe injury. The term
'power tool' used in the following includes both mains-
operated tools (with mains supply) and battery-operated

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
-
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting
blades. Do not try to remove cut-off matter with
the tool running. Do not try to hold material to be
cut off with your hand. Remove cut-off matter that
is stuck between the blades only with the tool be-
ing switched off! When working with hedge trimmers
even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in
severe injury.
-
Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with the
cutting blades standing still. Always put on the
protection cover when transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer. Careful handling reduces the risk of
injury through the cutting blades.
1) Working area
a) Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive
environments containing combustible fluids,
gases or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that
may ignite dusts or fumes.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces
as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body earthed.
b) Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetration
of water into a power tool increases the risk of
electric shock.

a) Make sure that the device has been switched
off before inserting the battery. Inserting a
battery into a switched-on power tool may lead to
accidents!
