Hints for your work with the tool
(Fig. 11, 12 and 13))
The shrub trimmer cuts ornamental shrubs and
light undergrowth or bushes. The device is also
well-suited for ornamental cuts as, for example,
for the care of graves.
The battery-powered grass and shrub shear
can not and should not replace your hedge
shears.
They are exclusively designed to trim and cut
back ornamental shrubs and brush -wood
with a low wood thickness. Any other use is
not deemed appropriate and the manufacturer/
supplier is not liable for damages resulting from
such use.
The grass shears allow for clean cuts of lawn
edges or hardly accessible lawn areas.
As the device is operated with one hand
please be careful not to move the other
hand near the running cutting tools.
Each type of use other than those given in these
instructions for use can damage the machine
and cause serious risk to the user.
Please always observe the safety instructions
in order to safeguard your guarantee claim and
in the interests of product safety. Due to the
machine's design, we are unable to fully exclude
all residual risks.
Residual dangers

trimmer is used properly. The hedge trimmer's
design can entail the following hazards:
• Contact can be made with the unprotected
blade (resulting in cutting injuries)
• Reaching into or grabbing the hedge trimmer
while it is in operation (resulting in cutting in-
juries)
• Unanticipated, sudden movement of the plant
material being cut (resulting in cutting injuries)
• Ejection or catapulting of damaged cutting
teeth

General safety instructions

Attention! Read all instructions contained here-
in. Failure to observe the following instructions
may result in electric shock, burns and/or severe
injury. The term 'power tool' used in the follow-
ing includes both mains-operated tools (with

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

ing cut
tection is not worn
a) Keep your working area clean and tidy.
Untidy and poorly lit working areas may
lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate the tool in potentially ex-
plosive environments containing com-
bustible fluids, gases or dusts. Power
tools generate sparks that may ignite dusts
or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away
when you are operating the power tool.
Distractions may result in the operator loos-
ing control over the tool.
a) The mains plug of the power tool must
fit into the mains socket. The plug must
not be modified in any way. Do not use
adapter plugs/connectors in combina-
tion with tools with protective earthing.
Unmodified plugs and fitting sockets reduce
the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed sur-
faces as pipes, heaters, ovens and re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetra-
tion of water into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable to carry or hang
up the tool or to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
