Warning! Additional safety warnings for hedge
@
trimmers
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.
u
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 tool can result in serious personal
injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
u
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.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
u
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
u
the cable can be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally
cut the blades.
The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
u
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those recom-
mended in this instruction manual can present a risk of
personal injury and/or damage to property.
If you have not used a hedge trimmer before, preferably
u
seek practical instruction by an experienced user in addi-
tion to studying this manual.
Never touch the blades while the tool is running.
u
Never attempt to force the blades to come to a standstill.
u
Do not put the tool down until the blades have come to a
u
complete standstill.
Regularly check the blades for damage and wear. Do not
u
use the tool when the blades are damaged.
Take care to avoid hard objects (e.g. metal wire, railings)
u
when trimming. Should you accidentally hit any such
object, immediately switch the tool off and check for any
damage.
Should the tool start to vibrate abnormally, immediately
u
switch it off and disconnect it from the mains suply then
check for any damage.
If the tool stalls, immediately switch it off. Disconnect it
u
from the mains supply before attempting to remove any
obstructions.
After use, place the blade sheath supplied over the
u
blades. Store the tool, making sure that the blade is not
exposed.

Residual risks

Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
u
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or ac-
u
cessories.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
u
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
Impairment of hearing.
u
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
u
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.)
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by
EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.
Labels on tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool along with the
