¾ Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers
as well as other appropriate personal protec-
tive equipment (safety glasses, ear defend-
ers, safety gloves etc.) when working on the
hedge trimmer. Wearing personal protective
equipment reduces the risk of injuries. Do not
wear loose clothing, etc. which could be caught
by the cutting tool.
Before use
¾ Before use, make sure you are familiar with
the hedge trimmer, its functions and operating
elements.
¾ 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 missing
guards or covers. They 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 remove the power
pack.
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 Read and observe the operating manual of the
power pack and its charger.
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. One moment of
inattentiveness when using the hedge trimmer
can result in serious injuries.
¾ Only hold the power tool by the insulated han-
dles, because the cutting blade can come into
contact with hidden power cables. Contact of
the cutting blade with a live cable can conduct
electrical voltage into metallic device parts result-
ing in an 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.
¾ Hold the hedge trimmer parallel to the hedge
when switching on, otherwise there is a risk
of injury.
¾ Also when working maintain a safe distance
relative to the cutting tool.

Safety information
¾ Wear suitable safety goggles and ear defend-
ers!
¾ Take extra care if you are walking backwards.
Risk of tripping!
¾ Switch the motor off when carrying the device
to or from separate working positions.
¾ Never bypass or manipulate switching mech-
anisms installed on the device (e.g. by taping
the switch to the handle).
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 emis-
sions, 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.
organisational actions.
After use
¾ Switch the device off, remove the power pack
and check the device for damage. Attention,
danger! Cutting tool continues running!
¾ If you need to clean or service the device,
switch it off and remove the power pack.
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 power pack removed.
¾ Ensure that ventilation slots are free from dirt.
¾ Do not clean the hedge trimmer using water.
