WARNING
●
Certain residual risks remain present, even when the
device is operated in the prescribed manner. The fol-
lowing dangers can be present when using the de-
vice:
 Severe injuries through contact with the cutting tool.
Keep the cutting tool away from your body. Use the
blade guard when not cutting.
 Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools
for the job, use the handles provided and restrict the
working time and hazard exposure time.
 Noise can cause hearing injuries. Wear hearing pro-
tection and limit the duration of exposure.
CAUTION
●
Using the device for longer periods can cause poor
circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general
period of use cannot be set, because this depends on
several influencing factors:
 Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation
(frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin-
gers)
 Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to
protect your hands.
 Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu-
lation.
 Continuous operation is more harmful than opera-
tion interrupted by work breaks.
You should see a doctor if using the device regularly
and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of re-
peated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in
the fingers or cold fingers.
 The battery-powered hedge trimmer with extension
is only intended for private use.
 The device is intended for outdoor use only.
 For safety reasons, always hold the device firmly
with both hands.
