storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.

Special Safety Directions for the
cordless grass & shrub cutter
1) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS
FOR HEDGE TRIMMERS
a) Keep all body parts away from
the blade. Do not attempt to re-
move clippings while the blade is
operating or to hold on to mate-
rial which is to be cut. Only re-
move trapped clippings when the
tool is switched off. One moment of
carelessness in the usage of the hedge
trimmer can lead to severe injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer at
the handle with an idle blade.
Always pull on the protective
cover during transport and stor-
age of the hedge trimmer.
Careful handling of the tool reduces
the risk of injury from the blade.
c) Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as the
cutting blade may come into con-
tact with concealed power cables.
Contact between the cutting blade and
a live cable may render metallic compo-
nents live and result in an electric shock.
d) Before the work, search the
hedge for concealed objects,
e.g. cable etc. To avoid damaging
the equipment.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer cor-
rectly, e.g. with both hands on
the handles, if there are two
handles. Loss of control of the equip-
ment may result in injuries.
f) Wear suitable clothing and work
clothes when working with the
equipment. Do not hold the equip-
ment by the cutting blade or lift it
on the cutting blade. Contact with the
cutting blade can cause injuries.
