2. Intended use

As required, this device may be converted via simple
replacement of the included attachments into grass
shears or bush shears, or with separate interchangeable
equipments into pruning cutters or grubbers.
Hints for your work with the tool
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.
Each type of use other than those given in these instruc-
tions for use can damage the machine and cause seri-
ous 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
Residual risks always remain even if the hedge trimmer
is used properly. The hedge trimmer's design can entail
the following hazards:
• Contact can be made with the unprotected blade (re-
sulting in cutting injuries)
• Reaching into or grabbing the hedge trimmer while it
is in operation (resulting in cutting injuries)
• Unanticipated, sudden movement of the plant mate-
rial being cut (resulting in cutting injuries)
• Ejection or catapulting of damaged cutting teeth
• Ejection or catapulting of the plant material being cut
• Hearing damage if the specified hearing protection is
not worn
• Inhalation of cut materials
