Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
• The hedge trimmer must not be used by children or by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capability or lack of experience and
knowledge which could jeopardise their safety.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting blades. Do not remove
cut material or hold material to be cut when the blades are moving.
• One moment of carelessness can result in serious personal injury.
• Never allow children to play with the product.
• Turn off the hedge trimmer and carry it by the handle when moving it
short distances. Always have the blade guard in place when storing or
transporting the hedge trimmer. Correct use of the hedge trimmer will
reduce the likelihood of personal injury caused by the cutting blades.
• Make sure that there are no foreign objects like fencing wire, etc in the
hedge/bush that you wish to trim.
• The blades will continue to move for a few seconds after the power has
been turned off.
• Note: Do not touch the cutting blades while they are moving.
• Always switch off the hedge trimmer and have the blade guard mounted in
place whenever moving or transporting it.
General safety instructions for batteries and chargers
a) Prevent unintentional starting of the multi trimmer by handling it
carefully. Make sure that the safety lock button and the power switch are
not both pressed in whilst carrying it.
b) Only use the included battery charger or a charger recommended by
the manufacturer. The battery charger is only designed to charge certain
types of batteries. If a charger designed for another type of battery is used
the risk for fire or explosion is significantly increased.
c) Battery fluid can leak from the battery if it is damaged. Avoid physical
contact with this fluid. If this fluid comes into contact with skin; rinse the
area thoroughly with water. If the fluid contacts eyes, seek medical
attention immediately. Fluid which has leaked from a battery pack can
cause skin irritation or burns.
• Never store a battery in direct sunlight or at temperatures above 40 °C.
• Only charge the battery when the ambient temperature is between 10 °C
and 40 °C.
• Never expose the battery or its charger to water.
• Keep the charger and batteries out of the reach of children.
• Never use the battery charger or batteries in environments where
flammable liquids or gases are stored.
• Always transport batteries in a safe manner ensuring that they do not
come into contact with each other and never in a metal container.
• Check that the battery charger and mains lead are whole and undamaged
before use.
• Charge the battery completely if it is not to be used for an extended
period.
