4. Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
5. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet
or very damp conditions. The electric motor is not
waterproof.
6. First-time users should have an experienced
hedge trimmer user show them how to use the
trimmer.
7. 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.
8. Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good
physical condition. If you are tired, your attention
will be reduced. Be especially careful at the end of
a working day. Perform all work calmly and
carefully. The user is responsible for all damages
to third parties.
9. Never use the trimmer when under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medication.
10. Check to make sure that the voltage and
frequency of the power supply correspond to the
specifications given on the identification plate. We
recommend
residual-current-operated
(ground-fault circuit interrupter) with a tripping
current of 30 mA or less, or an earth leakage
current protector.
11. 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.
12. Before starting work check to make sure that the
trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure
guards are fitted properly. Check cable for
damage before starting work and replace if
necessary. The hedge trimmer must not be used
unless fully assembled.
13. Keep cable away from the cutting area. Always
work in such a way that the extension power cord
is behind you.
14. Remove plug from the mains immediately if cable
is damaged or cut.
15. Make sure you have a secure footing before
starting operation.
16. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
17. Immediately switch off the motor and unplug the
mains plug if the cutter should come into contact
with a fence or other hard object. Check the cutter
for damage, and if damaged repair immediately.
18. Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults, or
removing material caught in the cutter, always
switch off the trimmer and unplug the mains plug.
19. Switch off the trimmer and disconnect and secure
the mains plug before doing any maintenance
work.

20. When moving the hedge trimmer to another
location, including during work, always unplug the
mains plug. Never carry or transport the trimmer
with the cutter running. Never grasp the cutter
with your hands.
21. Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter
after use, and before putting the trimmer into
storage for extended periods. Lightly oil the cutter
and put on the cover. The cover supplied with the
unit can be hung on the wall, providing a safe and
practical way to store the hedge trimmer.
22. Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a
dry room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never
store the trimmer outdoors.
