Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the
battery before making any adjustments to the ap
pliance, changing accessories or put the appliance
down. This safety measure prevents starting the
electric tool unintentionally.
•
Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of chil
dren. Do not allow people who are not familiar with
the appliance or who have not read these instruc
tions to use the appliance. Electric tools are dan
gerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
•
Clean your electric tool carefully. Check whether
moving parts are functioning properly and not jam
ming, whether parts are broken or damaged enough
that the functioning of this electric tool is affected.
Have damaged parts repaired before using the ap
pliance. Many accidents are caused by badly main
tained electric tools.

Safety regulations for hedge trimmers
•
Make sure you keep all parts of your body away
from the blades. Never attempt to remove the cut
tings with the blades running or to hold material
you wish to cut. Always switch off the equipment
before attempting to remove any jammed cuttings.
A single moment of carelessness when using the
hedge trimmer can result in serious injuries.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle and make
sure the blades have stopped. Always fit the pro
tective cover when transporting the hedge trimmer
or putting it into storage. Careful handling of the
equipment reduces the likelihood of injury by the
blades.
•
Hold the electric tool by the insulated handles, be
cause the blade may come into contact with the
tool’s own mains lead. Contact between the blade
and a live cable can also make the metal parts of
the equipment live and will cause an electric shock.
•
Keep the cable out of the cutting zone. During op
eration the cable may be covered by hedges and
cut through by accident.
•
If operation of the electric tool in a damp envi
ronment can not be avoided, use a earthleakage
circuitbreaker. The earthleakage circuitbreaker
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Warning!
This electric tool generates an electro
magnetic field during operation. This field can im
pair active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious
or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat
ing the electric tool.

Safety of persons
•
Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an
electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention when us
ing the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
•
Wear personal protection equipment and always
wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection
(such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety
helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type
and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of
injury.
•
Make sure that the appliance cannot start up ac
cidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is switched
off before you connect it to the power supply and/or
insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your
finger is on the switch whilst carrying the electric
tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains
when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
•
Remove keys and wrenches before switching on
the electric tool. A tool or key which comes into
contact with rotating parts of the appliance can
lead to injuries.
•
Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you
stand squarely and keep your balance at all times.
In this way, you can control the electric tool better
in unexpected circumstances.
• Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery
or long hair can get trapped in moving parts.
• If vacuuming devices and draining devices can be
fitted, make sure that these are correctly attached
and correctly used. The use of a dust extraction
system can reduce the danger posed by dust.
