10. Make sure there are no other persons or animals
within your working area (radius of swing).

sharp edges. Replace damaged cables
immediately.
17. Examine the cutting system regularly for signs of
damage and, if necessary, arrange for the hedge
trimmer to be professionally repaired by the ISC

18. If the blades become jammed, e.g. due to thick
branches or the like, switch off and unplug the
hedge trimmer immediately. Only then are you to

do not use it on jobs for which it is not intended,
i.e. you are allowed to use the hedge trimmer
only to cut hedges, shrubs and perennials.
22. Use only cables and connectors approved for
outdoor use:
- power cable HO7RN-F 2x1.0 with integral two-
plug plug;
- extension cable HO7RN-F 3G1.5 with rain-
water-protected earthing-pin plug and earthing-
contact coupling.
- The use of a leakage-current or earth-leakage
circuit-breaker is recommended for operating
electric tools. Ask your electrician!

and maintenance. Always replace damaged
blades in pairs. If the hedge trimmer suffers any
damage from impact (falling on hard ground
etc.), have it checked immediately by a
specialist.
24. Look after your hedge trimmer carefully. Keep it
clean and sharp to ensure efficient and safe
cutting. Follow the maintenance and cleaning
instructions.
