Safety information
f) Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools,
etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take the work conditions and the activity to
be performed into consideration. The use of
electric power tools for applications other than
those intended may lead to hazardous situations.
g) Pull the power plug from the mains immedi-
ately if the cable is damaged or severed.
h) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges which are treated
with care become stuck less frequently and are
easier to run.
Service
a) Only have your tool repaired by qualified
specialist personnel and with original spare
parts. This ensures that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Device-specific safety information for hedge
trimmers
¾ Keep all body parts away from the cutting
blade. Do not attempt to remove cut twigs or
foliage or hold material to be cut when the
cutting blade is running. Only remove jammed
grass cuttings with the device switched off.
One moment of inattentiveness when using the
device can result in serious injuries.
¾ Hold the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutting blade at a standstill. Always put on the
protective cover when transporting the hedge
trimmer or putting it away for storage. Careful
handling of the device reduces the risk of injury
from the cutting blade.
¾ Only hold the power tool by the insulated
handles, because the cutting blade can come
into contact with hidden power cables or its
own power cable. Cutting blade contact with a
live cable may pass voltage onto metallic device
components and lead to electric shock.
¾ Keep the cable away from the cutting area.
During the work process, the cable may become
hidden in shrubbery and accidentally severed.
¾ Look for hidden objects in hedges, such as
wire fencing, before commencing work. This
way you can avoid a collision.
¾ Hold the hedge trimmer securely with both
hands.
