Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use
•
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the
•
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the
•
power source and/or the
battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool
accidentaIly.
Store idle power tools out of
•
the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and
•
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.

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.
•
Carefully inspect the area to be cut
and remove all wires or other foreign
bodies.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, because the cutter
blade may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Service
Have your power tool serviced
•
by a qualified repair person
using 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 material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure
the switch is off when clearing jammed
material. 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
always fit the cutting device cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury from the
cutter blades.
