Additional Safety Instructions for Hedge
Trimmers
WARNING:
Cutting elements continue to rotate after the
motor is switched off.
• 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 tool can result in serious personal injury.
•
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.
•
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.
• The intended use is described in this instruction manual. The
use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any
operation with this tool other than those recommended in this
instruction manual can present a risk of personal injury and/or
damage to property.
• Do not carry the tool with your hands on the front
handle, switch or the trigger switch unless the battery has
been removed.
• If you have not used a hedge trimmer before, preferably seek
practical instruction by an experienced user in addition to
studying this manual.
• Never touch the blades while the tool is running.
• Never attempt to force the blades to come to a standstill. u
Do not put the tool down until the blades have come to a
complete standstill.
• Regularly check the blades for damage and wear. Do not use
the tool when the blades are damaged.
• Take care to avoid hard objects (e.g. metal wire, railings)
when trimming. Should you accidentally hit any such object,
immediately switch the tool off and check for any damage.
• Should the tool start to vibrate abnormally, immediately switch it off
and remove the battery then check for any damage.
• If the tool stalls, immediately switch it off. Remove the battery
before attempting to remove any obstructions.
• After use, place the blade sheath supplied over the blades. Store
the tool, making sure that the blade is not exposed.
• Always ensure that all guards are fitted when using the
tool. Never attempt to use an incomplete tool or a tool with
unauthorised modifications.

• Be aware of falling debris when cutting the higher sides of
a hedge.
• Always hold the tool with both hands and by the
handles provided.

the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks can
not be avoided. These include:
