5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF
BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in charg-
ers that are recommended by the
manufacturer. Risk of fire if a charger
that is suitable for a specific type of
battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the purpose.
The use of other batteries may result
in injuries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal objects, which
could cause bridging of the contacts.
A short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak
from the battery. Avoid contact
with this. In the event of accidental
contact, rinse off with water. If the
liquid gets into eyes, seek medical
assistance. Leaking battery fluid may
cause skin irritations or burns.
6) SERVICE
•
Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

1) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS
FOR HEDGE TRIMMERS
•
Keep all parts of the body away
from the cutter blade. Do not re-
move cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is off when
62
clearing jammed material. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the
•
handle with the cutter blade
stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer always
fit the cutting device cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will re-
duce possible personal injury from the
cutter blades.
•
Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as the
cutting blade may come into con-
tact with concealed power cables.

and a live cable may render metallic
components live and result in an elec-
tric shock.
•
Keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation the cable may be
hidden in shrubs and can be acciden-
tally cut by the blade.
Before the work, search the hedge
•
for concealed objects, e.g. cable
etc.
•
Hold the hedge trimmer correctly,
e.g. with both hands on the han-
dles, if there are two handles. Loss
of control of the equipment may result
in injuries.
•
Wear suitable clothing and work
clothes when working with the
equipment. Do not hold the equip-
ment by the cutting blade or lift it
