5.3.4 Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
5.3.4.1 Safety around you
• Only carry out hedge trimming in daylight or good
artificial light.
• Take care not to touch any objects such as wire
fences or plant supports when cutting. This can
cause damage to the cutting unit (19). Carefully in-
spect the hedge to be cut and remove all wires or
other foreign objects.
• Be aware of your surroundings and be prepared for
potential hazards that you may not hear while trim-
ming the hedge.
m Danger
In the event of imminent danger or in an emergency,
switch off the engine immediately.
5.3.4.2 Electrical safety
• Only hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfac-
es, because the cutting unit can come into con-
tact with concealed power lines. If the cutting unit
comes into contact with an energised line, device
parts can become energised and cause an electric
shock.
5.3.4.3 Safety of personnel
• During operation, no other persons or animals may
be within a radius of 15 metres. The operator is re-
sponsible for third parties in the working area.
• When operating the hedge trimmer, always ensure
that you have a firm footing and always keep your
balance.
• Never hold the hedge trimmer by the cutting unit
(19).
• Keep all body parts away from the cutting unit.
Do not attempt to remove cuttings or hold ma-
terial to be cut while the cutting unit is running.
Remove trapped cuttings only when the device
is switched off. A moment of carelessness when
using the hedge trimmer can result in serious injury.
• Wait until the tool has come to a standstill before
setting it down.
5.3.4.4 Use and handling
m Attention!
• Between operations or after completion of each op-
eration, do not place the cutting unit (19) on the tip
to avoid any damage to the cutting unit (19).

a) Always check whether the blades, blade bolts and
other parts of the cutting unit are worn or dam-
aged before use. Never work with a damaged or
badly worn cutting unit.
b) After setting the working angle, check that both
adjustment levers are securely engaged. If an ad-
justment lever remains open, the second locking
mechanism can be released unintentionally by a
branch during work and the cutting unit (19) can
fold down.
c) Never use the hedge trimmer if the protective de-
vices are defective or not fitted.
d) Never hold the hedge trimmer by its protective
device.
e) Carry the hedge trimmer by the front handle
when switched off, with the cutting unit facing
away from your body. Always put the protec-
tive cover on when transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer. Careful handling of the device
reduces the likelihood of accidental contact with
the running blades.
f) Store the hedge trimmer in a dry, elevated or
sealed space, out of the reach of children.
g) Do not try to repair the device yourself unless you
have had the training necessary to do so.
h) To be on the safe side, replace worn or damaged
parts.
m Danger
In the event of imminent danger or in an emergency,
switch off the engine immediately.
5.4 Work safety instructions for pole-mounted
pruners
m Caution! Danger of injury!
• Never touch the device above the protective ring
(22) during operation to avoid injuries!
5.4.1 Preparation
• Always wear a safety helmet, hearing protection
and safety gloves. Also wear eye protection to
avoid getting oil splashes or sawdust in your eyes.
Wear a dust mask to protect against dust.
• Wear sturdy, non-slip boots.
• Do not use the device in rain or damp conditions.
• Before use, check the safety status of the device,
especially the guide bar and the saw chain.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of power lines.
Hold a minimum distance of 10 metres from over-
head power lines.
5.4.2 Electrical safety
• Do not use the device in potentially explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the vicinity of flammable
liquids, gases or shock absorbers. The sparks pro-
duced by the machine can ignite these shock ab-
sorbers or gases.
