Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Some special safety pre-
cautions must be
observed when working
with this power tool
because it has very sharp
cutting blades and is
powered by electricity.
It is important that you
read the instruction man-
ual before first use and
keep it in a safe place for
future reference. Non-
observance of the
instruction manual may
result in serious or even
fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.
If you have not used this model before:
Have your dealer or other experienced
user show you how to operate your
machine or attend a special course in its
operation.
Minors should never be allowed to use
this product.
Keep bystanders, especially children,
and animals away from the work area.
When the power tool is not in use, store
it so that it does not endanger others.
Secure it against unauthorized use.
The user is responsible for avoiding
injury to third parties or damage to their
property.
Do not lend or rent your unit without the
instruction manual. Be sure that anyone
using it understands the information
contained in this manual.
Persons who are not able to operate the
power tool safely due to limited physical,
sensory or mental ability may work with
it only under supervision or after
instruction by a responsible person.
The use of noise emitting power tools
may be restricted to certain times by
national or local regulations.
To operate this power tool you must be
rested, in good physical condition and
mental health.
If you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a
power tool.
Do not operate the power tool if you are
under the influence of any substance
(drugs, alcohol) which might impair
vision, dexterity or judgment.
Use your hedge trimmer only for cutting
hedges, shrubs, scrub and similar
materials.
Do not use the power tool for any other
purpose because of the increased risk of
accidents and damage to the power tool
itself.
To reduce the risk of accidents, always
disconnect the plug from the power
supply before carrying out any work on
the power tool.
Never jerk the power cord to disconnect
it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
Unsuitable extension cords can be
extremely dangerous.
