reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power

untrained users.
e) Look after the power tool and
application tool carefully. Check
for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grip surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grip
surfaces do not permit safe operation
and control over the power tool in un-
expected situations.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings

• Keep all parts of the body away
from the cutter blade. Do not
remove cut material or hold ma-
terial to be cut when blades are
moving. Make sure the switch is
off when clearing jammed ma-
terial. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result
in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the
handle with the cutter blade
stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer al-
ways fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool only on the
insulated grip surfaces, as the
cutting blade can come into con-
tact with concealed power lines
or its own mains cable. Contact
between the cutting blade and a live
cable may render metallic components
live and result in an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting
area. During operation the cable may
be hidden in shrubs and can be acci-
dentally cut by the blade.
• Before the work, search the
hedge for concealed objects,
e.g. cable etc.
• Hold the hedge trimmer cor-
rectly, e.g. with both hands on
the handles, if there are two
handles. Loss of control of the equip-
ment may result in injuries.
• Wear suitable clothing and
work clothes when working
