is functional before each use.
There is a risk of personal injury
and property damage!
The On/Off switch and the safety
switch must not be held closed.
They must switch off the motor
when on is released. Should a
switch be damaged, stop working
with the equipment. Ensure that the
mains voltage value matches the
label on the equipment. There is a
risk of electric shock!
Note noise protection and local
specifications.
Switching On and Off
Remove the blade protection (

before switching the unit on.
Ensure that you are standing in a firm
position with both hands gripping the
hedge trimmer away from the body.
Ensure that the trimmer is in contact
with no other objects before switch-
ing on.
In this way you avoid damage to
the appliance and possible injury
to people.

• Switch off the equipment immediately
in the event that the blades are blocked
