Storing the trimmer after use
The hedge shears must be stored such that there is
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the
cutting blades!
Important note: The shearing blades should be cleaned
after each use (see also Section Maintenance).This will
considerably increase the service life of the device. Please
use a lubricator that is not harmful to the environment,
e. g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case
with the cutting blades first.

Waste disposal and environmental protection
Dispose of the machine properly after it is worn out. Dis-
connect the mains cable in order to prevent misuse. Do
not dispose of the machine with the household waste. In
the interest of environmental protection, take it to a coll-
ection point for electric machines. Your responsible local
authority can provide you with addresses and operating
times. Also take the packaging materials and worn out
accessories to the appropriate collection points.
In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment and its im-
plementation in national law, waste electric tools must
be collected separately for environmentally-compatible
re-use.
Recycling alternative to the return invitation:
Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling ma-
nagement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the
accessory parts and auxiliary equipment without elec-
trical components accompanying the waste equipment.
