• Do not use the charging device on easily flam-
mables items (e.g. paper, textiles etc.) or in
combustible atmospheres. There is a danger of
fire due to the heating of the charging device dur-
ing the charging process.
• Supervise children and make sure that they do
not play with the charger. Children and per-
sons with mental or physical restrictions may
only use the charger under supervision or
after having been instructed how to use it.
Careful instruction reduces the risk of incorrect
operation and injuries.
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 serious
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 situa-
tions.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the front handle
with it turned off and keep the cutting tool
away from your body. Always fit the protective
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, remem-
ber that it will spring back. If the tension 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.
• Never use modified or incomplete hedge trim-
mers. This is the only way to ensure that all han-
dles and safety devices are affixed to the product.
• Never clean the cutting tool while it is running.
• Never use the hedge trimmer with a defective or
badly work cutting device.
• Do not wear jewellery that could become caught
by the cutting tool.
Additional safety information
• This product is not intended to be used by per-
sons (including children) or who are limited in their
physical, sensory or mental capacities or who lack
experience and/or knowledge of the product
unless they are supervised, or have been
instructed on how to use the product, by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not use the product as a toy.
• The operating instructions should always be
within easy reach.
• Do not use any accessory that has not been
provided and recommended by the manufac-
turer specially for this electrical tool. Just
because the accessories can be fixed on your
electrical tool, no secured use is ensured.
• Never use the power too with a damaged
cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull
out the power plug. Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid uncontrolled restarting. Switch the tool
off when the power supply is interrupted, for
example, by a power failure or pulling the plug.
• When working, hold the power tool firmly with
both hands and ensure you have a stable foot-
ing. The power tool can be guided in a safer fash-
ion when you use two hands.
• Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slip-
pery handles can lead to accidents.
• Always comply with the all applicable domes-
tic and international safety, health, and work-
ing regulations. Inform yourself before you start
work about the regulations that apply at the site of
the device.
• Do not leave tools, objects or cable laying
around in the vicinity of the device. If you
stumble, you may injure yourself on the power
tool.
• Make sure that all safety facilities and handles are
mounted when using the product.
