mains when it is switched on, this can lead to
accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before swit-
ching on the electric tool. A tool or key
which comes into contact with rotating parts
of the appliance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your
balance at all times. In this way, you can
control the electric tool better in unexpected
circumstances.
f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clo-
thes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get
trapped in moving parts.

vices can be fi tted, make sure that these
are correctly attached and correctly used.
The use of a dust extraction system can redu-
ce the danger posed by dust.
Do not lose this safety information.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct tool for your work. You will be able
to work better and more safely within the gi-
ven performance boundaries.
b) Do not use an electric tool with a defec-
tive switch. An electric tool that cannot be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or
remove the battery before making any ad-
justments to the appliance, changing ac-
cessories or put the appliance down. This
safety measure prevents starting the electric
tool unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow people
who are not familiar with the appliance or
who have not read these instructions to
use the appliance. Electric tools are dange-
rous if they are used by inexperienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check
whether moving parts are functioning
properly and not jamming, whether parts
are broken or damaged enough that the
functioning of this electric tool is aff ec-
ted. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the appliance. Many accidents are
caused by badly maintained electric tools.
f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.
g) Make sure to use electric tools, accesso-
ries, attachments, etc. in accordance with
these instructions. Take the conditions in
your work area and the job in hand into
account. Using electric tools for any purpose
other than the one for which they are intended
can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service

trained personnel using only genuine
spare parts. This will ensure that your elec-
tric tool remains safe to use.
Safety regulations for hedge trimmers
•
Make sure you keep all parts of your body
away from the blades. Never attempt to remo-
ve the cuttings with the blades running or to
hold material you wish to cut. Always switch
off the equipment before attempting to remo-
ve any jammed cuttings. A single moment of
carelessness when using the hedge trimmer
can result in serious injuries.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle and
make sure the blades have stopped. Always
fit the protective cover when transporting the
hedge trimmer or putting it into storage. Ca-
reful handling of the equipment reduces the
likelihood of injury by the blades.
•
Hold the electric power tool by the insulated
handles because the blade may strike con-
cealed power cables or its own power lead.
Contact between the blade and a live cable
can make the metal parts of the equipment
live and cause an electric shock.
•
Keep the cable out of the cutting zone. Du-
ring operation the cable may be covered by
hedges and cut through by accident.
