g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
a) Keep your hands away from the blade.
Do not attempt to clear clippings or hold onto
the material being cut while the blades are
still in motion. The blades keep moving after
the switch has been moved to the off position.
A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the blade at a standstill and be careful not to
operate the switch. Carrying the hedge trimmer
correctly will reduce the risk of accidental
activation and any resulting injury from the
blade.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer, always pull the protective cover
over the blades. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will reduce the risk of injury from the
blades.
d) Make sure that all switches are turned off
and the tool is unplugged when removing
trapped clippings or servicing the machine.
Unexpected activation of the hedge trimmer
when removing trapped material can cause
serious injury.

e) Hold the hedge trimmer only by the insulated
grips as the blade could come into contact
with hidden power lines or its own power
cable. Contact between the blade and a live
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool live and could give the operator
an electric shock.
f) Keep all mains cables away from the cutting
area. Cables can be hidden in hedges and
bushes and could be cut accidentally by the
blade.
g) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather,
especially if there is a risk of a thunderstorm.
This reduces the risk of being struck by lightning.
Safety instructions for extended
hedge trimmers
a) Reduce the risk of a fatal electric shock by
never using the extended hedge trimmer
near electrical wires. Contact with or use near
power lines can cause serious injuries and/or
a fatal electric shock.
b) Always operate the extended hedge trimmer
with both hands. Hold the extended hedge
trimmer with both hands to prevent any loss
of control.
c) Wear a hard hat when working overhead
with the extended hedge trimmer. Falling
cuttings can result in serious injury.
■ Inspect the surface to be cut carefully and
remove any wires or other obstructions.
■ We recommend using a residual current circuit
breaker with a tripping current of 30 mA or less.
■ While operating the hedge trimmer, always
ensure that you have firm footing, especially
when using steps or a ladder.
NOTE
► Graphical representations illustrating the
usage of the hedge trimmer and its control
elements can be found on the fold-out page.
► Notes and diagrams of the settings, mainte-
nance and lubrication by the user can be
