KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
-
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting
blades. Do not try to remove cut-off matter with
the tool running. Do not try to hold material to be
cut off with your hand. Remove cut-off matter that
is stuck between the blades only with the tool be-
ing switched off! When working with hedge trimmers
even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in
severe injury.
-
Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with the
cutting blades standing still. Always put on the
protection cover when transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer. Careful handling reduces the risk of
injury through the cutting blades.
1) Working area
a) Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive
environments containing combustible fluids,
gases or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that
may ignite dusts or fumes.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces
as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body earthed.
b) Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetration
of water into a power tool increases the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you do and apply
reasonable care when working with a power
tool. Do not use the tool when you are tired or un-
der the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol.
When working with power tools even a short mo-
ment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
b) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care
of a safe footing and keep your balance at all
times. This will allow you to better control the tool
in unexpected situations.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools
a) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch.
A power tool that cannot be switched on or off any
more is dangerous and must be repaired.
b) Never allow people unfamiliar with these in-
structions or children to use the machine. Local
regulations can restrict the age of the operator.
c) Keep in mind that the operator or user is re-

sponsible for accidents or hazards occurring
to other people or their property.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of children.
Do not allow persons to use the tool if they are
not familiar with the tool or these instructions.

enced persons.
