The power tool is double insulated, which means that
all external metal parts are insulated from the
electrical components. Therefore, in accordance with EN
standard, no grounding is required. However, double
insulation does not replace normal safety precautions,
which must be observed while operating the power tool.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or operate it in wet or
damp conditions. The presence of water in a power tool
increases the risk of damage and electric shock to the user.
Only hold the power tool by its insulated surfaces, which
prevent electric shock if the power tool contacts hidden
wires or power cord during operation.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite liquids,
gases, or dust.
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual and
are not familiarized with how to operate the hedge trimmer
must not use it.
To ensure that you work with the power tool safely, you
should consider a few precautions and procedures before
start-up:
▪ Inspect the power tool before each use. Check that all
accessories are assembled correctly and in good
condition. If there is damage or excessive wear, replace
them;
▪ Under normal operating conditions, the power tool
vibrates. Check that all bolts are properly tightened.
Regular servicing is important to ensure the safety and
performance of the power tool;
▪ After fitting the accessories, carry out a test run at
maximum speed with no load for some time. Check for
any misalignment or any other condition that may affect
the operation of the hedge trimmer. Check that all
moving parts run smoothly, without abnormal noise;
▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and function properly. Never use the power tool if the
safety devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or worn
out;
▪ If the "ON/OFF" switch is damaged or does not enable
you to control the operation of the power tool, it must be
repaired or replaced so that it does not start
accidentally.
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the correct
assembly of the power tool if you have any questions or
difficulties, contact your official dealer.
Keep third parties away from the power tool's area of
operation. Never work while animals or people,
especially children, are in the danger zone.

children, are in the danger zone.
Always wear personal protective equipment and clothing.
Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing protection,
anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing, gloves and
helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during operation must be adequate, tight
and closed, for example, a work boiler suit. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
away from rotating parts.
Operating the power tool causes high load of
vibrations which can cause damage to the circulatory
and nervous systems, especially in people with circulatory
problems. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur that
may be caused by vibrations. These symptoms, which occur
mainly in the fingers, hands or wrists, include, for example,
loss of sensation, pain, muscle weakness, discoloration of
the skin or unpleasant tingling.
