not familiar with the tool or these instructions.
Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperi-
enced persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check
whether moving parts are working properly
and are not jamming/sticking, 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 instructions 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 dan-
gerous situations.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified tech-
nical personnel only; repairs should be carried
out using exclusively original spare parts. This
will ensure the safe operation of the power tool.
6) Appropriate handling and use of battery-operated
power tools
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!
b) Only use charging devices recommended by
the manufacturer to charge the batteries. Char-
ging units are usually designed 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 battery 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 additionally. Leaking battery fluid may lead
to irritations of the skin or burns!
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.
- Only hold the power tool on the insulated handle
surfaces, because the cutting blade can come
into contact with concealed power lines. If the
cutting blade comes into contact with an energised
line, device parts can become energised and cause
an electric shock.
- Before starting work, search the hedge for con-
cealed objects, e.g. wire, etc. Pay careful attention
to ensure that the cutting tool does not come into
contact with wire or other metal objects.
- Hold the power tool properly, e.g. with both hands
on the handles, if two handles are present. Losing
control of the device can result in injuries.
