b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the pow-
er source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making
any adjust -ments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentaIly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.

Special Safety Directions for the
cordless grass & shrub cutter
1) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS
FOR HEDGE TRIMMERS
a) Keep all body parts away from the
blade. Do not attempt to remove
clippings while the blade is operat-
ing or to hold on to material which is
to be cut. Only remove trapped clip-
pings when the tool is switched off.
One moment of carelessness in the
usage of the hedge trimmer can lead
to severe injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer at the han-
dle with an idle blade. Always pull on
the protective cover during transport
and storage of the hedge trimmer.
Careful handling of the tool reduces
the risk of injury from the blade.
c) Hold the power tool only on the insu-
lated handle surfaces, as the cutting
blade may come into contact with
concealed power cables. Contact
between the cutting blade and a live
cable may render metallic components
live and result in an electric shock.
d) Before the work, search the hedge
for concealed objects, e.g. cable etc.
To avoid damaging the equipment.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer correctly,
e.g. with both hands on the han-
dles, if there are two handles. Loss
of control of the equipment may result
in injuries.
