Cleaning, Maintenance And Storage; Environmental Protection - Mantis 8570 Gebrauchsanweisung

Use the hedge trimmer properly. Always wear eye protec-
tion, rubber gloves, and substantial foot wear while using
the hedge trimmer. Always maintain proper footing and
balance and never overreach when using hedge trimmer.
Before starting the hedge trimmer, hold the unit with both
hands on the grip areas. Make sure that the cutter blade
is not touching anything.
Always keep the extension cord behind the hedge trimmer
when in use. Do not drape the cord over the hedge where
it may be cut by the blades. Use smooth steady sweeping
motions to trim new growth. Do not try to cut too much at
one time. This can cause the hedge trimmer to slow down
or get jammed, reducing the cutting efficiency.
Do not force the hedge trimmer through dense growth. A
slight back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting
of larger, more dense growth. If the hedge trimmer begins
to slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you
are trying to cut. If the hedge trimmer becomes jammed,
immediately turn hedge trimmer off. Disconnect hedge
trimmer from the power supply and remove the jammed
debris from the cutter blades.
Do not try to cut branches larger than 18mm in diameter.
For best results, trim the sides of hedges with an upward
sweeping motion. Trim the hedges so that the top is
slightly narrower than the bottom.

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.

waste!
In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/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
