13. Optimum safety

The 5 special features two-hand safety switch, quick
blade stop, protective cover, blade safety rail and
impact protector are fitted to provide the hedge trim-
mer with optimum safety features.
Attention!
If you find out that safety functions, such as
the 2-switch mechanism or the safety stop, are
not functioning while working with the hedge
shears, immediately cease working and take
the machine to a specialised shop for repairing.
1) Two-hand safety switch (Fig. 4)
To switch the hedge trimmer on the bar switch in the
handle (A) must be pushed and the rotary switch of the
handle (B) must be rotated by 45° backward. To switch
the device off let go of both switches.
2) Quick blade stop
In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will
stop in max. 0.1 sec. when one of the two switches is
released.
3) Blade safety rail (Fig. 9)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduc-
es the risk of injuries due to unintentional body contact.
As soon as the hedge trimmer is switched off, the sharp
cutting blades will stop - due to safety reasons - exactly
under the cover rail in order to reduce the risk of injuries
during transport.
4) Impact protector (Fig. 11)
The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks
(blade recoil) being transmitted to the operator due to
impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
5) Gear protection feature
If solid objecst are caught in the cutting blade and jam
the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the
power plug from the power socket, remove the object
and continue with the work.
The equipment is also fitted with an overload cutout,
which protects the gears against mechanical damage in
the event of blade jams.

14. Storing the trimmer after use

The hedge shears must be stored such that there is
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the
cutting blades!
Important note: The shearing blades should be cleaned
after each use (see also Section Maintenance).This will
considerably increase the service life of the device. Please
use a lubricator that is not harmful to the environment ,
e. g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case
with the cutting blades first.

15. Repair service

Repairs to electric power tools should only be carried out
by specialist electrical personnnel.
16. Waste disposal and environmental protec-
tion

future or you do not need it any longer, do not dispose
of the device together with your domestic refuse, but
dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner.
Please dispose of the device itself at an according col-
lecting/recycling point. By doing so, plastic and metal
parts can be separated and recycled. Information con-
