Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
-
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting
blades. Do not try to remove cut-off matter with
the tool running. Do not try to hold material to be
cut off with your hand. Remove cut-off matter that
is stuck between the blades only with the tool be-
ing switched off! When working with hedge trimmers
even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in
severe injury.
-
Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with the
cutting blades standing still. Always put on the
protection cover when transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer. Careful handling reduces the risk of
injury through the cutting blades.
Appropriate handling and use of battery-operated
power tools
-
Make sure that the device has been switched off
before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into
a switched-on power tool may lead to accidents!
-
Only use charging devices recommended by the
manufacturer to charge the batteries. Charging
devices are usually designed for certain types of bat-
teries; if used with other types there is a risk of fire!
-
Only use batteries designed for your power tool.
The use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk
of fire!
-
Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that may bridge the contacts. A short circuit be-
tween the battery contacts may lead to burns or fire!
-
Improper use may result in fluid leaking out of
the battery. Avoid any contact with battery fluid.
Flush with water in case of contact. If battery fluid
should get into your eyes seek medical advice ad-
ditionally. Leaking battery fluid may lead to irritations
of the skin or burns!

recognized safety and technical rules. In spite of
that, risk of serious injury to the user or to third
persons can arise when the hedge trimmers are
used. Therefore follow the instructions for use.

free movement, fractures of parts, any fastening
elements, and all other circumstances that may
affect the operation. A safety device or other parts
that are damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service organisation

ent proceeding. Defective switches should also
be replaced by an authorise shop. Do not use the
tool, if it is not possible switch it on and off via
the switch.
