z Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing and jewelry and long hear can be caught in moving
parts.
z When using tools with dust extraction and collection devices,
ensure that they are properly mounted. The use of dust extraction
devices helps reduce the production of dust in the working area.
Proper use of electric tools
z Do not exceed the maximum load of the tool. Use the tool only
for the intended purpose. To ensure safe and efficient working,
operate the electric tool only within the specified power range.
z Do not use electric tools whose switches are defective. Electric
tools that cannot be properly switched on or off are dangerous and
must be repaired without delay.
z Before adjusting the tool, changing accessory parts or putting
the tool away for storage, disconnect the power plug from the
socket or remove the battery. This safety measure reduces the risk
of inadvertent tool start.
z Store the electric tool outside the reach of children. Do not allow
persons who have not read these instructions to operate the
tool. When operated by inexperienced persons, electric tools can be
very dangerous.
z Handle the electric tool with care and service it regularly.
Ensure that all moving parts can work properly and are not
jammed and regularly inspect the tool for defective or damaged
parts that might impair its function. Have damaged parts
repaired before you start the tool. Many accidents are caused by
insufficiently maintained electric tool.
z Keep the cutting parts sharp and clean. Carefully maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will rarely get jammed and are
easier to operate.
z When using the electric tool, the accessories and replacement
parts, strictly adhere to the instructions in this manual. Take
into account the actual working conditions and the task in hand.
The use of electric tools for purposes other than the intended can
lead to dangerous situations.
Service
z If the electric tool needs to be repaired, have the repair carried
out by specialist personnel and instruct them to use only origi-
nal spare parts. This ensures the operational safety of the electric
tool.
Tool-specific safety instructions for hedge shears
z 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 shears may cause serious injury.
z 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 shears. Handling the tool carefully
reduces the risk of injury caused by the blade.
z Keep the cable away from the cutting range. While working, you
may inadvertently cut the cable as it may be hidden by the shrubbery.
z The machine is designed exclusively for cutting hedges. Use for
purposes other than those intended qualify as improper use. The ma-
nufacturer/supplier is not responsible for any damages that result
from improper use. The operator is solely responsible for assuming
all risks.
z Never attempt to use a machine that is not fully assembled or one
that has been altered in a manner that is not permitted.
z Work at a height where you do not run the risk of the blade coming
into contact with the ground.
