clothing, hair or jewellery is caught by moving parts of
the device. Keep clothing and jewellery away from mov-
ing parts of the device. Tie long hair back. ● Have repair
work carried out by the authorised customer service on-

Safe servicing and care
WARNING
● Switch the motor off, remove the
battery pack and make sure that all moving parts have
stopped moving:
● Before cleaning or servicing the device.
● Before changing accessories.
● Each time after using the device, remove dirt from the
cutting tools using a hard brush and apply a suitable oil
for rust protection before fitting the blade guard. The
manufacturer recommends using a spray for rust pro-
tection and oiling. Ask your Customer Service depart-
ment to recommend a suitable spray. You can oil the
cutting tools as described, each time before using the
device. ● Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharp
cutting tools are easier to control and do not block so
easily. ● Make sure that the ventilation openings are
free of deposits. ● Risk of injury from sharp cutting tools.
Exercise special care when removing and fitting the
blade guard, cleaning and oiling the device.
CAUTION
● Risk of injury from sharp cutting
tools. Wear non-slip, sturdy protective gloves when
handling the cutting tool. ● Risk of injury from exposed
blades. Fit the blade guard when not using the device,
also during short work breaks. ● Keep the handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and lubricants. ● Only use ac-
cessories and spare parts which are approved by the
manufacturer. Only original accessories and original
spare parts ensure that the appliance will run fault-free
and safely.
ATTENTION
● Clean the product with a soft, dry
cloth each time after use. ● Do not use solvents to clean
the plastic parts, as they attack the materials used on
the device. Remove impurities such as dust, oil and lu-
bricants using a clean cloth.
Note
● Service and maintenance work may only be
performed by suitably qualified and specially trained
personnel. We recommend sending the product to an
authorised service centre for repair.
Safe transport and storage
CAUTION
● In order to prevent accidents or
injuries, you must only transport and store the device
with the blade guard installed and with the rechargeable
battery removed. ● Risk of injury and damage to the de-
vice. Secure the device against movement or falling
down during transport.
ATTENTION
● Remove all foreign bodies from the
device before storage or transportation. ● Store the de-
vice in a dry, well ventilated location out of the reach of
children. Keep the device away from corrosive sub-
stances such as garden chemicals. ● Do not store the
device outdoors.
WARNING
● Certain residual risks remain present, even when the
device is operated in the prescribed manner. The fol-
lowing dangers can be present when using the de-
vice:
● Severe injuries through contact with the cutting tool.
Keep the cutting tools away from your body and be-
low hip height. Use the blade guard when not cut-
ting.
● Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools
for the job, use the handles provided and restrict the
working time and hazard exposure time.
● Noise can cause hearing injuries. Wear hearing pro-
tection and limit the duration of exposure.
CAUTION
● Using the device for longer periods can cause poor
circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general
period of use cannot be set, because this depends on
several influencing factors:
● Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation
(frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin-
gers)
● Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to
protect your hands.
● Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu-
lation.
● Continuous operation is more harmful than opera-
tion interrupted by work breaks.
You should see a doctor if using the device regularly
and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of re-
peated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in
the fingers or cold fingers.
Use the device exclusively with battery packs and
