Safety information
¾ When working always ensure you are stand-
ing safely, especially when using steps or a
ladder.
¾ Always be aware of your environment and
possible hazards which you may not be able
to hear because of the noise of the device.
Information about vibrations:
¾ Vibrations can cause nerve damage and
impair the blood circulation in the hands and
arms.
¾ When working in the cold, wear warm clothing
and keep your hands warm and dry.
¾ Take breaks.
¾ If you notice that the skin of your fingers
or hands goes numb, tingles, hurts or goes
white, stop working with the machine and, if
necessary, consult a doctor.
¾ The specified vibration emission values were
measured according to a standardised testing
procedure. Make it possible to estimate the
power tool emissions and compare these
with different power tools. Dependent on the
conditions of use, the state of the power tool or
tools inserted for use with it, the actual vibration
load may be higher or lower. When estimating the
emissions, consider doing so during work pauses
and phases when the tool is under reduced load.
Based on the correspondingly adjusted estimated
values, take protective actions, e.g. organisation-
al actions.
After use
¾ Switch the device off, pull the mains plug out
of the socket and check the device for dam-
age. Attention, danger! Cutting tool continues
running!
¾ If you need to clean or service the device,
switch it off and pull the mains plug out of the
socket.
¾ Always wait until the cutting tool comes to a
standstill.
¾ Removal of the protective equipment must
only be performed with the motor stationary
and the mains plug pulled out.
¾ Ensure that ventilation slots are free from dirt.
¾ Do not clean the hedge trimmer using water.
