Tool-specific safety instructions for hedge shears
Keep all body parts away from the cutting blade. Never
attempt to remove any cuttings or hold material to be cut
while the blade is still running. Do not remove cuttings that
have become stuck unless the tool is switched off. A
moment of carelessness while using the battery-powered
shears may cause serious injury.
Only carry the hedge shear by its handle and if the blade is
standing still. Always slip on the protective cover when
transporting or storing the battery-powered shears.
Handling the tool carefully reduces the risk of injury caused by
the blade.
Keep the cable away from the cutting range. While working,
you may inadvertently cut the cable as it may be hidden by the
shrubbery.
The machine is designed exclusively for cutting hedges.
Use for purposes other than those intended qualify as improper
use. The manufacturer/supplier is not responsible for any da-
mages that result from improper use. The operator is solely re-
sponsible for assuming all risks.
Never attempt to use a machine that is not fully assembled or
one that has been altered in a manner that is not permitted.
Work at a height where you do not run the risk of the blade
coming into contact with the ground.
Reverse blade
If the blade becomes jammed by thick branches, for example,
the hedge shears must be shut off:
–
Remove battery.
–
Do not touch running blades.
–
Remove the cause of the blockage.
Do not switch on the tool until your hands and feet are far
enough away from the cutting blades.
Please note that there is always a risk of injury due to residual
charge when switching on the device even after it has been
discharged.
These tools are not intended to be used by persons with
insufficient experience and/or lack of skills or persons with
limited physical, sensory or mental abilities unless these
persons are supervised or instructed on the use of the tools by
a person responsible for the safety of these persons.
Young adults below the age of 16 may not use the tools.
Maintenance
Do not clean or carry out any maintenance work on the tool until
after you switch the motor off and pull the mains plug.
Clean and oil the blades (we recommend using WD-40 multi-
purpose oil) after each use.
Use the blade guard to sheath the cutting unit before transport
and storage.
Charger
Do not connect the charger to the power socket if it has become
wet or damp.
Use the charger in dry rooms only.
Disconnect it from the power supply by removing the plug from
the socket. Do not pull the plug by the cable as this could
damage the equipment so that its electrical safety might be
impaired.
Never use the charger, if there is visible damage to the cable,
the plug or the charger itself. In this case, have the charger
repaired at a specialized workshop.
Never open the charger housing. In the event of malfunction,
have the charger repaired by a specialized workshop.
Do not charge the battery-powered shears while using them.
