parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and
•
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories
•
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
•
Carefully inspect the area to be cut
and remove all wires or other foreign
bodies.
Service
Have your power tool serviced
•
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
Hedge trimmer safety
warnings
Keep all parts of the body away
•
from the cutter blade. Do not
remove cut material or hold ma-
terial to be cut when blades are
moving. Make sure the switch is
off when clearing jammed ma-
terial. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result
in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the
•
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.
Hold the power tool only on the
•
insulated grip surfaces, as the
cutting blade can come into con-
tact with concealed power lines
or its own mains cable. Contact
between the cutting blade and a live
cable may render metallic components
live and result in an electric shock.
Keep cable away from cutting
•
area. During operation the cable may
be hidden in shrubs and can be acci-
dentally cut by the blade.
Before the work, search the
•
hedge for concealed objects,
e.g. cable etc.
Hold the hedge trimmer cor-
•
rectly, e.g. with both hands on
the handles, if there are two
handles. Loss of control of the equip-
ment may result in injuries.
Wear suitable clothing and
•
work clothes when working
with the equipment. Do not hold
the equipment by the cutting
blade or lift it on the cutting
blade. Contact with the cutting blade
can cause injuries.
•
Connect the appliance to a power
socket with a residual current circuit
breaker of rated residual current no
more than 30 mA.
Operation
Do not use the equipment
without the hand guard.
Wear suitable clothing and
work gloves when working
