persons over 16 years of age may be exempted 
from this restriction if they are undergoing training 
under the supervision of an expert. 

7.  Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good 

physical condition. If you are tired, your attention 
will be reduced. Be especially careful at the end 
of a working day. Perform all work calmly and 
carefully. The user is responsible for all damages 
to third parties. 

8. 

Never use the trimmer when under the influence 
of alcohol, drugs or medication. 

9. 

Work gloves of stout leather are part of the basic 
equipment of the hedge trimmer and must always 
be worn when working with it. Also wear sturdy 
shoes with anti-skid soles. 

10.  Before starting work check to make sure that the 

trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure 
guards are fitted properly. The hedge trimmer 
must not be used unless fully assembled. 

11.  Make sure you have a secure footing before 

starting operation. 

12.  Hold the tool firmly when using the tool. 
13.  Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily. 
14.  Immediately switch off the motor and remove the 

battery cartridge if the cutter should come into 
contact with a fence or other hard object. Check 
the cutter for damage, and if damaged repair 
immediately. 

15.  Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults, 

or removing material caught in the cutter, always 
switch off the trimmer and remove the battery 
cartridge. 

16.  Switch off the trimmer and remove the battery 

cartridge before doing any maintenance work. 

17.  When moving the hedge trimmer to another 

location, including during work, always remove 
the battery cartridge and put the blade cover on 
the cutter blades. Never carry or transport the 
trimmer with the cutter running. Never grasp the 
cutter with your hands. 

18.  Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter 

after use, and before putting the trimmer into 
storage for extended periods. Lightly oil the cutter 
and put on the cover. The cover supplied with the 
unit can be hung on the wall, providing a safe and 
practical way to store the hedge trimmer. 

19.  Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a 

dry room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never 
store the trimmer outdoors.
