PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
Special Safety Directions for cordless muti-tools
a). Keep all body parts away from the blade. Do not
attempt to remove clippings while the blade is
operating or to hold on to material which is to be
cut.
Only remove trapped clippings when the tool is
switched off. One moment of carelessness when using
the hedge trimmer can lead to severe injury.
b). Carry the multi-tool at the handle with an
idle blade.
Always pull on the protective cover during
transport and storage of the hedge trimmer. Careful
handling of the tool reduces the risk of injury from the
blade.
c). Hold the power tool only on the insulated handle
surfaces, as the cutting blade may come into
contact with concealed power cables.
Contact
between the cutting blade and a live cable may render
metallic components live and result in an electric
shock.
d). Before the work, search the hedge for concealed
objects, e.g. cable etc.
To avoid damaging the
equipment.

hands on the handles, if there are two handles.
Loss of control of the equipment may result in injuries.
f). Wear suitable clothing and work clothes when
working with the equipment.
Do not hold the
equipment by the cutting blade or lift it on the cutting
blade. Contact with the cutting blade can cause
injuries.
