• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience or
knowledge.
• Keep the product and all accessories
away from hot surfaces.
• Never modify the trimmer in any way.
Electrical safety:
• Do not operate trimmers in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Trimmers create sparks,
which may ignite the dust and fumes.
• Do not use the trimmer when a
thunderstorm is approaching.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose trimmers to rain or
wet conditions.
• Do not handle the charger or the
trimmer with wet hands.
• Before charging check the power
supply and charger cables for signs
of damage or ageing.
• Do not overload the trimmer. Forcing
the trimmer to cut may damage the
motor. For safety the trimmer will
automatically cut out if the motor
becomes overloaded. If this occurs,
wait a few seconds for the cut out to
reset and then use lighter cuts to trim
the hedge.
