Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
• Keep away all body parts from the cutting blades. Do not
attempt to remove cut material or to hold material to be
cut while the cutting tool is in operation. Only remove
jammed material after the unit was switched off. A single
moment of inadvertence when using the hedge shear may
result in severe injury.
• Make sure that all protective devices and handles are
attached before using the unit. Never attempt to put into
service an incomplete unit or a unit that was improperly
modified.
• Carry the hedge shear on its handle with the cutting tool
stopped. Always install the guard when transporting or
storing the hedge shear. A careful handling of the unit
minimises the risk of injury by the cutting tool.
• Always hold the power tool on the insulated handle
surfaces as the cutting blades may come into contact
with hidden power cables or the unit's mains supply
cable. A contact of the cutting blades with a live conductor
may apply hazardous voltage to metallic parts of the unit and
cause electric shock.
• Keep the cable away from the cutting area. During the
work, the cable may be hidden by shrubbery and accidentally
cut.
• This device is not intended to be used by persons (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities
or a lack of experience and/or know-how unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety or they
have been instructed by such a person on the use of the
device.
Supervise children to make sure they do not play with the
device.

„Electrical safety"
• Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-section of at least
− 1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
− 2.5 mm² for cable lengths over 25 m
• Long and thin connection lines result in a voltage drop. The
motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.
• Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.
• The connector of the connection cable must be splash-proof.
• When running the connection line observe that it does not
interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection
does not get wet.
• During the cutting operation, the supply cord must be
securely positioned to prevent the cord from snagged on
branches and the like.
• Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant.
Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
• Regularly check the cables and replace them if they are
damaged.
• Do not use any defective connection cables.
• Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
• Do not hose down the device with water. (origin of danger
electric current).
• Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
• Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit
breaker (30 mA).
• The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the
machine must be carried out by a certified electrician or one
of our customer service points. Local regulations – especially
regarding protective measures – must be observed.

„Power tool use and care"
• Do not modify the device or parts of the device respectively.
• After a longer period of use, accessible metallic parts and
accessories may be hot.
• Switch off machine and pull out power plug out of the power
outlet in case of:
the cutting tool comes into contact with soil, stones, nails
or other foreign objects (
tool/machine is damaged)
− Carrying out repair work.
− Performing maintenance and cleaning work.

interruption).
• Check the machine for possible damage:
− Before further use of the machine the safety devices
must be checked carefully for their proper and intended
function. Only operate the machine with complete and
correctly attached safety equipment and do not alter
anything on the machine that could impair the safety.
− Check whether movable parts function perfectly and do
not stick or whether parts are damaged. All parts must
be correctly installed and fill all conditions to ensure
perfect operation of the machine.
− Damaged safety devices and parts must be properly
repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist
workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the
instructions for use.
− Damaged or illegible safety labels have to be replaced.
• Store unused devices in a dry, locked place.
