Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions.
In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly inju-
ries, we recommend that persons with medical im-
plants consult with their physician and the manufactu-
rer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric
tool.
3 Safety of persons
– Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an elec-
tric 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 using 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 acciden-
tally. 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 fit-
ted, make sure that these are correctly attached and
correctly used. The use of a dust extraction system
can reduce the danger posed by dust.
4 Usage and treatment of the electric tool
– Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct tool for
your work. You will be able to work better and more
safely within the given performance boundaries.
– Do not use an electric tool with a defective switch.
An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off is
dangerous and must be repaired.
– Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the bat-
tery before making any adjustments to the appliance,
changing accessories or put the appliance down. This
safety measure prevents starting the electric tool un-
intentionally.
– Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of child-
ren. Do not allow people who are not familiar with the
appliance or who have not read these instructions to
use the appliance. Electric tools are dangerous if they
are used by inexperienced people.

– Clean your electric tool carefully. Check whether mo-
ving parts are functioning properly and not jamming,
whether parts are broken or damaged enough that
the functioning of this electric tool is affected. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the appliance.
Many accidents are caused by badly maintained elec-
tric tools.
– Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will
jam less and are easier to control.
– Make sure to use electric tools, accessories, attach-
ments, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take
the conditions in your work area and the job in hand
into account. Using electric tools for any purpose other
than the one for which they are intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
5 Service
– Have your electric tool repaired only by trained
personnel using only genuine spare parts. This
will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use.
Safety regulations for hedge trimmers
– Make sure you keep all parts of your body away from
the blades. Never attempt to remove the cuttings 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 ca-
relessness 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 protective co-
ver when transporting the hedge trimmer or putting it
into storage. Careful handling of the equipment redu-
ces 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 ope-
ration the cable may be covered by hedges and cut
through by accident.
