15. 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves 
away from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, 

jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving 
parts. 

16. 

If devices are provided for the connection of 
dust extraction and collection facilities, 
ensure these are connected and properly 
used.

 Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards. 

Power tool use and care 

17. 

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct 
power tool for your application.

 The correct 

power tool will do the job better and safer at the 
rate for which it was designed. 

18. 

Do not use the power tool if the switch does 
not turn it on and off.

 Any power tool that 

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous 
and must be repaired. 

19. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source 
and/or the battery pack from the power tool 
before making any adjustments, changing 
accessories, or storing power tools.

 Such 

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 
starting the power tool accidentally. 

20. 

Store idle power tools out of the reach of 
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar 
with the power tool or these instructions to 
operate the power tool.

 Power tools are 

dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 

21. 

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 
and any other condition that may affect the 
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the 
power tool repaired before use.

 Many 

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power 
tools. 

22. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 

23. 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 
etc. in accordance with these instructions, 
taking into account the working conditions 
and the work to be performed.

 Use of the 

power tool for operations different from those 
intended could result in a hazardous situation. 

Battery tool use and care 

24. 

Recharge only with the charger specified by 
the manufacturer.

 A charger that is suitable for 

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire 
when used with another battery pack. 

25. 

Use power tools only with specifically 
designated battery packs.

 Use of any other 

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. 

 

26. 

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 
from other metal objects, like paper clips, 
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal 
objects, that can make a connection from one 
terminal to another.

 Shorting the battery 

terminals together may cause burns or a fire. 

27. 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact 
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid 
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

 Liquid 

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. 

Service 

28. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 
repair person using only identical 
replacement parts.

 This will ensure that the 

safety of the power tool is maintained. 

29. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and 
changing accessories. 

30. 

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 
grease. 

GEB062-5 

CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER 
SAFETY WARNINGS 

1. 

Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter 
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material 
to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the 
switch is off when clearing jammed material.

 A 

moment of inattention while operating the hedge 
trimmer may result in serious personal injury. 

2. 

Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with 
the cutter blade stopped. When transporting 
or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the 
cutting device cover.

 Proper handling of the 

hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal 
injury from the cutter blades. 

3. 

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces 
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden 
wiring.

 Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may 

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and 
could give the operator an electric shock. 

4. 

Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet 
or very damp conditions. The electric motor is not 
waterproof. 

5.  First-time users should have an experienced 

hedge trimmer user show them how to use the 
trimmer. 

6. 

The hedge trimmer must not be used by children 
or young persons under 18 years of age. Young 
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
