5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified tech-
nical personnel only; repairs should be carried
out using exclusively original spare parts. This
will ensure the safe operation of the power tool.
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.
-
Hold the power tool by its insulated handling
surfaces as the cutting blades might get in touch
with the tool's own power cable. If the cutting
blades should accidentally cut into a live power cable
this might turn metal parts of the tool 'hot' thereby
causing an electric shock.
-
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.
-
Keep the cable away from the cutting area. When
working with the trimmer the cable might be hidden in
bushes and accidentally cut through.

area of any foreign objects and be aware of for-
eign objects during operation of the machine!
5. Check the flex and all connections for any
visible faults before using the machine (plug
disconnected). Do not use a faulty flex.
6. Do not use the trimmer in wet weather and do
not use it to cut wet hedges.Do not wash down
the device with water. Do not use any high-
pressure cleaning devices or steam jet devices
for cleaning.
7. In line with agricultural Trade Association Reg-
ulations only persons over the age of 17 may
work on their own with electric hedge trimmers.
Use is permitted for persons over 16 years if
the work is carried out under the supervision
of adults.
8. Ensure that the motor of your hedge shears
can not be switched on by mistake when you
put it down after work or when you are going
to clean the device. Never forget to unplug the
mains supply!
9. Be aware of your responsibility as user to-
wards third parties in the working area.
10. The trimmer must be properly checked and
serviced. If the blades get damaged
should only be exchanged in pairs. In the event
of damage from impact, specialist's inspection
is essential.
11. Only use extension cords that are approved for
outdoor use and that are not lighter than rub-
ber tube cords type H07 RN-F according to DIN/
VDE 0282 with a diameter of at least 1.5 mm
They must be water spray protected. Damaged
cables of this unit are only to be replaced by
a service station designated by the manufac-
turer as special tools are necessary. Equipment
which will be used in different outside loca-
tions should be connected via residual current
- operated current breakers.
12. Ensure that the equipment is stored safely
after use in such a way that the blade cannot
be touched.
13. For initial use of the hedge trimmer we would
recommend that in addition to reading the op-
erating instructions, you also seek a practical
demonstration from an expert.

handles are properly fitted. Never attempt to
use an incomplete machine.
15. Never try to use an incomplete tool or a tool
that has been modified in a way that has not
been approved.
16. Familiarize yourself with the working area and
pay attention to possible dangers which you
might not be able to hear due to the noise of
the machine.
17. ATTENTION! Only use the accessories or at-
tachments shown in the Operating Instruc-
tions. The use of other add-on tools and ac-
cessories may set up the risk of injury for you.
