switched on or off any more is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket be-
fore you adjust a tool, change accesso-
ries or put the tool aside. This precaution
avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons to use
the tool if they are not familiar with the
tool or these instructions. Power tools
are dangerous if used by inexperienced
persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool.
Check whether moving parts are work-
ing properly and are not jamming/stick-
ing, and whether parts are broken or
otherwise damaged in a way that affects
the function of the tool. Have damaged
parts repaired before using the tool.
Many accidents are the result of poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Thoroughly looked-after cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are jamming less often
and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on
tools, etc. in accordance with these in-
structions and in the way prescribed for
the respective type of tool. You should
also consider the working conditions
and the work to be carried out. The use
of power tools for purposes other than
those intended for the respective tool may
result in dangerous situations.
5) Appropriate handling and use of battery-
operated power tools
a) Make sure that the device has been
switched off before inserting the bat-
tery. Inserting a battery into a switched-on
power tool may lead to accidents!
b) Only use charging devices recommend-
ed by the manufacturer to charge the
batteries. Charging units are usually de-
signed for certain types of batteries; if used
with other types there is a risk of fire!
c) Only use batteries designed for your
power tool. The use of other batteries may
lead to injury and risk of fire!
d) Keep unused batteries clear of paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that may bridge the
contacts. A short circuit between the bat-

tery contacts may lead to burns or fire!
e) Improper use may result in fluid leaking
out of the battery. Avoid any contact with
battery fluid. Flush with water in case of
contact. If battery fluid should get into
your eyes seek medical advice addition-
ally. Leaking battery fluid may lead to irrita-
tions of the skin or burns!
a) Have the power tool serviced by quali-
fied technical personnel only; repairs
should be carried out using exclusively
original spare parts. This will ensure the
safe operation of the power tool.
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 be-
tween the blades only with the tool being
switched off! When working with hedge trim-
mers 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 trans-
porting or storing the hedge trimmer. Care-
ful handling reduces the risk of injury through
the cutting blades.
Only hold the hedge trimmer at the in-
sulated handle surfaces when perform-
ing work where the tool could come into
contact with concealed power lines. If in
contact with an energised line, metallic device
parts can become energised and cause an
electric shock.
Before commencing hedge trimming, check the hedge
for concealed objects, such as wire fences.
Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both hands
if two handles are present.
The hedge trimmer has been designed for cutting
hedges and bushes. It is not intended for commercial
use.
Metal parts and accessories may become very hot
after a period of prolonged use.
Never expose the tool to rain or moisture.
The hedge trimmer will become hot during operation.
This is normal and is not an indication of a malfunction.
Prepare yourself for work. Always ensure that the
hedge trimmer has been properly assembled and
prepared for use as detailed in these operating in-
structions.
