• Do not use the shears if other persons, children or
domestic animals are found nearby.
• Only use the shear in daylight or sufficiently
bright artificial illumination.
• The clippers must be subjected to regular main-
tenance and checks. Damaged blades must be
replaced as a pair. Professional repair is required
if damage occurs due to impact.
• The trimmer should be regularly maintained by an
accordingly authorised service point.
• Wear suitable working clothes, i.e. protective
glasses, protective means for ears, non-slippery
shoes and working gloves. Do not wear broad
clothes which could be caught by the moving
parts.
• After you finish using the clippers and before
cleaning them, it is necessary to ensure that the
machine cannot be accidentally turned on, such
as by unlocking the switch.
• Check the cutting unit regularly for damage
• Never hold the clippers by the blades, you may
run the risk of injury even when the clippers are
not moving!
• Do not attempt to remove or grasp cuttings when
the blade is running. Only remove cuttings when
the device is switched off and the rechargeable
battery pack is removed.
• The vent openings and the switch must always be
kept clean. Do not attempt to clean the device by
introducing sharp objects into the openings.
• Keep the machine away from children and store
it in a safe place.
• When working with the shears, always take a sta-
bile standing position, particularly when you are
using steps or a ladder.
• Do not use shears with a damaged or excessively
worn-out cutting part
• Ensure that all protective devices and handles
are installed on the machine. Never try to put an
incomplete machine in operation.
• Always use the protective part designed for the
blade when transporting and storing the shears.
• Before starting the work, make yourself famil-
iar with the surroundings and possible dangers
which you may not hear because of the noise.
• Only use the spare sparts and accessories recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
• Only use the original rechargeable battery.
