Safety Devices

Safety devices serve for the protection of
the user and must not be put out of opera-
tion or bypassed with respect to their func-
tion.

Release button

The safety button on the handle is for two-
handed control.
The unlocking button blocks the power
switch and thus prevents the hedge trim-
mer from starting up in an uncontrolled
manner.
