¾ Hold the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutting blade at a standstill. Always put on the
protective cover when transporting the hedge
trimmer or putting it away for storage. Careful
handling of the device reduces the risk of injury
from the cutting blade.
¾ Only hold the power tool by the insulated
handles, because the cutting blade can come
into contact with hidden power cables or its
own power cable. Cutting blade contact with a
live cable may pass voltage onto metallic device
components and lead to electric shock.
¾ Keep the cable away from the cutting area.
During the work process, the cable may become
hidden in shrubbery and accidentally severed.
¾ Look for hidden objects in hedges, such as
wire fencing, before commencing work. This
way you can avoid a collision.
¾ Hold the hedge trimmer securely with both
hands.
Protection of yourself and others
¾ Using a residual current device (RCD) with a
triggering current of 30 mA or less is recom-
mended.
¾ This device must not be used by children or
persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or with inadequate experi-

Safety information
Before use
¾ Before use, make sure you are familiar with
the hedge trimmer, its functions and operat-
ing elements. Do not use any hedge trimmer
whose switch is defective and which can
no longer be switched on or off. It must be
repaired by a qualified expert or workshop.
¾ Never use a device with damaged or miss-
ing guards or covers. It must be repaired or
replaced by a qualified expert or workshop.
¾ Before making adjustments to the device or
cleaning it, switch it off and pull the mains
plug out of the socket.
¾ Do not use a hedge trimmer with a defective
or heavily worn cutting element. It must be
repaired or replaced by a qualified expert or
workshop.
Tips for use
¾ Keep all body parts away from the cutting
blade. Do not attempt to remove grass cut-
tings or hold material to be cut with the blade
running. Only remove jammed grass cuttings
with the device switched off and the mains
plug pulled out. One moment of inattentiveness
when using the hedge trimmer can result in seri-
ous injuries.
¾ Only hold the power tool by the insulated
handles because the cutting blade may come
into contact with hidden power cables. Cutting
blade contact with a live cable may pass voltage
onto metallic device components and lead to
electric shock.
¾ Never leave the hedge trimmer unattended
during breaks and store it in a secure loca-
tion.
¾ Check for hidden objects in the hedge, such
as wire fencing, before commencing work.
¾ Hold the hedge trimmer securely with both
hands.

when switching on, otherwise there is a risk
of injury.

ers!
¾ Take extra care if you are walking backwards.
Risk of tripping!
