General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the cut-
ter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is off when clearing
jammed material. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or stor-
ing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device
cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring. Cutter blades contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.

4. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet
or very damp conditions. The electric motor is not
waterproof.
5. First-time users should have an experienced hedge
trimmer user show them how to use the trimmer.
6. The hedge trimmer must not be used by children
or young persons under 18 years of age. Young
persons over 16 years of age may be exempted
from this restriction if they are undergoing training
under the supervision of an expert.
7. Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good phys-
ical condition. If you are tired, your attention will be
reduced. Be especially careful at the end of a work-
ing day. Perform all work calmly and carefully. The
user is responsible for all damages to third parties.
8. Never use the trimmer when under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medication.
9. Work gloves of stout leather are part of the basic
equipment of the hedge trimmer and must always
be worn when working with it. Also wear sturdy
shoes with anti-skid soles.
10. Before starting work check to make sure that the
trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure
guards are fitted properly. The hedge trimmer
must not be used unless fully assembled.
11. Make sure you have a secure footing before start-
ing operation.
12. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
14. Immediately switch off the motor and remove the
battery cartridge if the cutter should come into
contact with a fence or other hard object. Check
the cutter for damage, and if damaged repair
immediately.
15. Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults, or
removing material caught in the cutter, always switch
off the trimmer and remove the battery cartridge.
16. Switch off the trimmer and remove the battery
cartridge before doing any maintenance work.
17. When moving the hedge trimmer to another loca-
tion, including during work, always remove the

with the cutter running. Never grasp the cutter with
your hands.

ter after use, and before putting the trimmer into
storage for extended periods. Lightly oil the cutter
