Instructions for grass shears
a) Do not use the grass shears in
bad weather, especially if the-
re is a danger of a storm.This
reduces the risk of being struck by
lightning.
b) Keep all mains cables and
lines away from the cutting
range.Cables and lines may be
concealed and can be inadvertently
cut by the blade.
c) Hold the grass shears only
by the insulated gripping
surfaces as the cutting bla-
des may come into contact
with hidden wiring. The blades
coming into contact with a live wire
can also cause a charge in metal
parts of the device and result in an
electric shock.
d) Keep all body parts away
from the blade. Do not at-
tempt to remove clippings or
to hold onto material to be cut
when the blades are running.
The blades continue to move after
turning off the switch. A moment of
inattention when using the grass she-
ars can result in serious injuries.
e) Ensure that the switch is tur-
ned off and the battery is re-
moved or switched off before
removing jammed clippings or
maintaining the grass shears.
Unexpected operation of the grass
shears when removing jammed ma-
terial can lead to serious injuries.
f) Hold the grass shears by the
handgrip when the blade is
at a standstill and make sure
28
you do not press the switch.
Carrying the grass shears correctly
reduces the risk of inadvertent ope-
ration and being injured by the bla-
de as a result.
g) Always place the protective
cover onto the blades while
transporting or storing the
grass shears. Careful handling of
the grass shears reduces the risk of
injury from the blade.
