Storing The Trimmer After Use; Repair Service; Waste Disposal And Environmental Protection; Warranty - Solo 168 A Manual Original

As soon as the hedge trimmer is switched off, the sharp
cutting blades will stop - due to safety reasons - exactly
under the cover rail in order to reduce the risk of injuries
during transport.
4) Impact protector (Fig. 11)
The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks
(blade recoil) being transmitted to the operator due to
impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
5) Gear protection feature
If solid objecst are caught in the cutting blade and jam
the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the
power plug from the power socket, remove the object
and continue with the work.
The equipment is also fi tted with an overload cutout,
which protects the gears against mechanical damage in
the event of blade jams.

14. Storing the trimmer after use

The hedge shears must be stored such that there is
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the
cutting blades!
Important note: The shearing blades should be cleaned
after each use.(see also Section Maintenance).This will
considerably increase the service life of the device. Please
use a lubricator that is not harmful to the environ-ment ,
e. g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case
with the cutting blades fi rst.
