For Your Safety
Please note by using your Electric Hedge Trimmer following principle safety hints in order to
avoid electric shock, injury and fire risk:
Inspect the unit before each use. Do not use the Hedge
Trimmer, if safety devices (two-hand switch, blade stop,
impact protection) and / or the blades are damaged or worn.
Never bypass safety devices.
Inspect the area to be cut before and during work.
Remove any foreign objects.
If, in spite of care, there is an obstruction when cutting, turn off
the Hedge Trimmer and remove it.
This Hedge Trimmer can cause serious injuries!
Use the unit only for the purposes specified in these operating
instructions.
Do not overload the Hedge Trimmer – to work better and safer

Keep the guide-handle dry and free from oil and grease.
Concentrate and work with care. You are responsible for safety
