Safety information
Use and handling of the power tool
a)
Do not overload the device. Use the electric
power tool designed for your work.
Your work
is performed better and safer with the appropriate
power tool in the specified power range.
b)
Do not use a power tool with a defective
switch.
An electric power tool which can no lon-
ger be switched on or off is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c)
Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
the power pack before configuring any device
settings, changing accessory parts or storing
the device away.
This precautionary measure
prevents the unintended start of the power tool.
d)
Keep unused power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not let people use the device who
are unfamiliar with it or who have not read
these instructions.
Electric power tools are dan-
gerous when used by inexperienced persons.
e)
Treat power tools with care. Check that mov-
ing parts work seamlessly and do not jam;
whether parts are so damaged that the func-
tion of the power tool is impaired. Have dam-
aged parts repaired prior to using the device.
Many accidents originate from poorly maintained
electric power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges which are treated
with care become stuck less frequently and are
easier to run.
g)
Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools,
etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take the work conditions and the activity to be
performed into consideration.
The use of elec-
tric power tools for applications other than those
intended may lead to hazardous situations.
Use and handling of the battery tool
a)
Only charge the batteries using chargers that
are recommended by the manufacturer.
There
is a risk of fire if a charger that is suitable for a
specific type of battery is used with other batteries.
b)
Only use the power packs intended for this
purpose in power tools.
Use of other power
packs can result in injuries and fires.
c)
Keep the unused power pack away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could cause short circuiting
of the contacts.
A short-circuit between the pow-
er pack contacts could result in burns or fire.
d)
Fluid can leak from the battery if used improp-
erly. Avoid contact with this liquid. Rinse off
with water in the case of accidental contact.
If the liquid comes into contact with the eyes,
also seek medical assistance.
Leaking battery
liquid may lead to skin irritation and burns.
Service
a)
All repairs to the power tool must be carried
out by qualified specialist technicians and
with original spare parts only.
This ensures that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety information for hedge trimmers
¾
Keep all body parts away from the cutting
blade. Do not attempt to remove grass cut-
tings or hold material to be cut with the blade
running. Only remove jammed grass cuttings
with the device switched off.
One moment of
inattentiveness when using the hedge trimmer
can result in serious injuries.
¾
Hold the hedge trimmer at the handle with
the blade at a standstill. Always put on the
protective cover when transporting the hedge
trimmer or putting it away for storage.
Careful
handling of the device reduces the risk of injury
from the blade.
¾
Only hold the power tool by the insulated han-
dles, because the cutting blade can come into
contact with hidden power cables or even its
own power cable.
Cutting blade contact with a
live cable may pass voltage onto metallic device
components and lead to electric shock.

are not familiar with the instruction manual
and operation of the hedge trimmer, must
not use it.
The minimum age of users may be
defined by local or national legislation.
