There is a risk of injuries when working
with hedge trimmers. It is therefore im-
perative that you adhere to special safe-
ty measures and rules of conduct when
working with hedge trimmers.
몇
WARNING
Read all the safety notes and instructions!
Failure to adhere to the safety notes and in-
structions can lead to electric shock, fire
and/or serious injuries.
In addition to these safety instructions, the
country-related safety and training rules
(e.g. of authorities, occupational insurance
associations or social security benefits of-
fices) must be observed.
Local regulations may be in place to limit
the times during which hedge trimmers can
be used (time of day or year). Observe the
local regulations.
 The user is responsible for ensuring
safe use of the hedge trimmer, particu-
larly with respect to their own health
and that of others.
 Only operate the hedge trimmer when
in good health and sufficiently rested.
The hedge trimmer must not be operat-
ed when under the influence of medica-
tion or drugs that restrict your ability to
react.
 The user must be in the physical condi-
tion to react to possibly occurring reac-
tion effects (kick-back, drawing or re-
coil) and to soften them by physical
strength.
Take breaks in order to prevent fatigue.
 The device must not be operated by mi-
nors.
 Keep children and other individuals out
of the working area during use.
 Persons with limited sensory and cogni-
tive abilities must not use this device.
 Increased risk of accident in bad weath-
er conditions. Only use the hedge trim-
mer if safe working conditions can be
guaranteed.
 Do not use the hedge trimmer on lad-
ders or other unstable surfaces.
 Only hold power tools by the insulated
handles. The cutting blade may come
into contact with hidden power cables. If
the cutting blade comes into contact
with a live cable, metal parts of the de-
vice may become charged with voltage
and cause electric shock.
 Risk from exposed blades. Always fit
the blade guard.
 Before working with the hedge trimmer,
check for damage and make sure that
the screws on the blade are firmly tight-
ened.
 Do not use the hedge trimmer with bent
or damaged blade sections.
 Do not use devices which vibrate unu-
sually or emit unusual noises.

DANGER
Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the hands on
account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid
operation time, since this depends on sev-
eral factors:
– Proneness to blood circulation deficien-
cies (cold, numb fingers).
– Low ambient temperature. Wear warm
gloves to protect hands.
– A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
– Continuous operation is worse than an
operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation of
the device and in case of repeated occur-
rence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fin-
gers) please consult a physician.
– Always hold the hedge trimmer firmly
with both hands.
– Always remove the battery pack during
work breaks and for maintenance / care
tasks.
