General safety instructions

Attention! Read all instructions contained herein. Failure to
observe the following instructions may result in electric shock,
burns and/or severe injury. The term 'power tool' used in the
following includes both mains-operated tools (with electric
supply) and battery-operated tools (without electric supply).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
-
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting
blades. Do not try to remove cut-off matter with the
tool running. Do not try to hold material to be cut off
with your hand. Remove cut-off matter that is stuck
between the blades only with the tool being switched
off! When working with hedge trimmers even a short
moment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
-
Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle with the cutter
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.
1) Working area
a) Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive
environments containing combustible fluids, gases
or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that may ignite
dusts or fumes.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

reasonable care when working with a power tool.
Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the
influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. When
working with power tools even a short moment of
inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
b) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care of a
safe footing and keep your balance at all times. This
will allow you to better control the tool in unexpected
situations.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools
a) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A
power tool that cannot be switched on or off any more is
dangerous and must be repaired.
b) Never allow people unfamiliar with these instructions
or children to use the machine. Local regulations can
restrict the age of the operator.
c) Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of children. Do not
allow persons to use the tool if they are not familiar
with the tool or these instructions. Power tools are
dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
5) Appropriate handling and use of battery-operated power
tools
a) Only use charging devices recommended by the
manufacturer to charge the batteries. Charging units
are usually designed for certain types of batteries; if used
with other types there is a risk of fire!
b) Keep the area where the battery charger plugs into
the power tool clear of paper clips, coins,
nails, screws or other small metal objects that may
bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts may lead to burns or fire!
c) Improper use may result in fluid leaking out of the
battery. Avoid any contact with battery fluid. Flush
with water in case of contact. If battery fluid should
get into your eyes seek medical advice additionally.
Leaking battery fluid may lead to irritations of the skin
or burns!
