• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.

Safety information for hedge trimmers
• Cut only wood. The hedge trimmer must not
be used for any purpose other than that
intended. Improper use of the hedge trimmer
can create dangerous situations.
• The hedge trimmer may not be used for cutting
lawns/lawn edges or for chopping in the sense of
composting.
• If severe vibrations occur or if the operating
volume increases, turn off the product and
pull out the mains plug. The cutting tool may
have been damaged by a foreign object, in
which case safe operation can no longer be
guaranteed.
• Never grab material to be cut. Only remove
any jammed material to be cut when the
device is switched off. Momentary distraction
when using the hedge trimmer can cause seri-
ous injuries.
• Hold the hedge trimmer securely with both
hands, and keep your thumb and finger
around the handles of the hedge trimmer. If
appropriate measures are taken, the operator
will be able to minimise potential hazards.
• Hold the electrical tool only by the insulated
handles, as the cutting blade can come into
contact with hidden electricity cables. Con-
tact of the cutting blade with a live cable can also
bring metallic device parts under voltage and
may lead to an electric shock.
• Never let go of the hedge trimmer. Avoid an
abnormal body position and do not cut above
shoulder height. This can cause unintentional
contact with the cutting tool and enables better
control of the hedge trimmer in unexpected situ-
ations.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the front handle
with it turned off and keep the cutting tool
away from your body. Always fit the protec-
tive cover when transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer. Careful handling of the hedge
trimmer reduces the likelihood of the running
cutting tool being touched accidentally.
• Always ensure that you are standing firmly
and only use the hedge trimmer when you are
standing on stable, firm and level ground. A
slippery subsurface or instable standing area
such as on a ladder can cause you to lose your
balance or lose control over the hedge trimmer.
• When cutting a branch under tension,
remember that it will spring back. If the ten-
sion is released in the wood fibres, the tense
branch can hit the operator and/or wrest control
of the hedge trimmer away from him or her.
• To protect yourself against electric shock you
should never use the product closer than
15 m from overhead power lines. Power lines
are often overgrown and not readily visible.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer on a tree.
Using the hedge trimmer on a tree poses a risk
of injury.
• Familiarise yourself with the environment you
are working in. The noise from the hedge trim-
mer can drown out the sound of other obstacles
and hazards.
