Working Safely

• Keep the device and the cutting
equipment in a good condition to
avoid injuries.
• Check the carrying strap for comfort-
able positioning which facilitates hold-
ing the device.
• Always hold the device with both
hands, one hand on the round han-
dle and the other on the tube shaft.
Thumb and fingers must tightly clasp
around the handles.
• When working the chain saw attach-
ment or the hedge trimmer attachment
pay attention to prescribed working
angle of 60°±10°, in order to ensure
safe operation.
• If dropped, check the equipment for
significant damage or defects.
• Do not use the electric pruner when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make uncon-
sidered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the
equipment.
• Change your working position regu-
larly. Long use of the equipment can
result in vibration-related circulatory
disorders in the hands. However, the
length of use can be extended by us-
ing suitable gloves or taking regular
breaks. Note that a personal tendency
for poor circulation, low outdoor tem-
peratures, or high gripping forces dur-
ing work will reduce the length of use.

Maintenance/Cleaning

Repair and servicing work not de-
scribed in this manual should always
be carried by our Service Centre.
Use only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before carry-
ing out any work on the equipment.
When handling the cutting equip-
ment, wear gloves.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guarantee
a long and reliable service life.
• Before each use, check the hedge trim-
mer for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the
secure seating of the bolts in the cutter
bar.
• Do not use the unit if the blades are
blunt or worn. This will overstress the
motor and gearbox of the machine.
• Check coverings and safety devices for
damage and correct seating. Replace
these where necessary.
• Keep the ventilation slots and motor
housing of the device clean. Use a
damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do not
wash down the equipment with water,
or submerge it in water.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or sol-
vents. These could cause irreparable
damage to the equipment. Chemical
substances can attack the plastic parts
of the equipment.
• Always keep the blade clean.
After using the equipment, it is impera-
tive to:
- Clean the blade
(with an oily cloth);
- Oil the blade shaft
with an oil can or
spray.
• Saw chain is to be wiped only with a dry
cloth.
