Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
a) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather con-
ditions, especially when there is a risk of light-
ning. This decreases the risk of being struck by light-
ning.
b) Keep all power cords and cables away from cut-
ting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in
hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the
blade.
c) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Blades contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the hedge
trimmer "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
d) Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do
not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Blades continue to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
e) Make sure all switches are off and the battery is
removed before removing trapped clippings or
servicing the product. Unexpected operation of the
hedge trimmer when removing trapped material can
cause serious injury.
f) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate any
power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer
will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and resul-
tant personal injury from the blades.
g) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury
from the blades.

WARNING
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or passive
medical implants under certain circumstances. In order
to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we rec-
ommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the power tool.
WARNING
In case of extended working periods, the operating per-
sonnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their
hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes
the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to
cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer
supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear ex-
tremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating products can
cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is im-
paired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).
If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working im-
mediately and seek medical advice.

The product is part of the 20V IXES series and may on-
ly be operated with batteries of this series. Batteries

ries. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
