3 Personal Safety
1) Stay alert and use common sense. Do not use while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention in its use can cause serious per-
sonal injury.
2) Always wear eye protection such as dust mask, non-slip
safety shoes, helmet or hearing protection. Proper equip-
ment will reduce personal injury.
3) Make sure the switch is in the off position. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the trigger or plugging them
in directly invites accidents.
4) Remove any adjusting key before turning the power tool
on. A spanner left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool can cause personal injury.
5) Maintain posture and balance at all times. This allows
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6) Dress appropriately. Do not wear inappropriate clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
7) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure that they are connected
and used correctly. The use of these devices can reduce the
risks related to dust.
4 Electric tool, use with care
1) Do not force the tool. Use only for your application. The
right power tool will do the job better and safer at the right
speed.
2) Do not use the 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.
3) Disconnect from power source and/or remove battery
pack before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories or storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4) Store power tools out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these ins-
tructions to use it. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
5) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
operation. If damaged, it must be repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poor maintenance.
6) Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting ed-
ges are easier to control.
7) Use the power tool, accessories, etc. according to these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be done. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions other than those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5 Use and Care of Battery Power Tool
1) Make sure the switch is off before inserting the battery.
Inserting the battery into the tools that have the switch on
causes accidents.
2) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is not suitable for a type of battery
may create a risk of fire.
3) Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
teries. Use of any other battery may create a risk of injury
and fire.
4) When the battery is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects such as paper, paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, which can be con-
nected from one terminal to another. Short-circuiting the
battery terminals may cause burns or fire.
5) Under abusive conditions, the battery may leak fluid;
avoid contact. If the liquid comes in contact with your eyes,
seek additional medical help. Liquid injected into the bat-
tery may cause irritation or dangerous burns and garves.
6 Service
Have a qualified technician repair your power tool using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that sa-
fety is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! 1. Keep all parts of your body away
from the cutting blade. Do not remove the cut
material or hold the material to be cut when
the blades are in motion. Make sure the switch is off
when removing the jammed material. Blades slip after
power off. A moment of distraction while operating the
hedge trimmer can result in serious personal injury.
2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutting
blade stopped. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce the possibility of personal injury from the cutting
blades.
3. Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping sur-
faces, as the cutter blade can contact hidden wires. Cutter
blades meeting a “live” wire can cause exposed metal
parts of the power tool to be “live” and can cause an elec-
tric shock to the operator.
4. DANGER: keep your hands away from the blade. Contact
with the blade will result in serious personal injury.
5. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet or very
humid conditions. The electric motor is not waterproof.
6. First-time users should have an experienced hedge trim-
mer user show how to use the trimmer.
7. The hedge trimmer must not be used by children or
young people under 18 years of age. Young people over 16
years of age can be exempted from this restriction if they
are receiving training under the supervision of an expert.
8. Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good physical
condition. If you are tired, your attention will be reduced.
Take special care at the end of the workday. Perform all
work calmly and carefully. The user is responsible for all
damages to third parties.
9. Never use the trimmer when under the influence of alco-
hol, drugs, or medications.
10. Heavy leather work gloves are part of the basic equip-
ment of the hedge trimmer and should always be worn when
working with it. Also wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles.
11. Before starting work, check that the mower is in good
condition and safe. Make sure the guards are positioned
correctly. The hedge trimmer should not be used unless
fully assembled.
