people nearby, also pay attention to any ani-
mals in the working vicinity. Otherwise stop
using the equipment.
2. Before use always check that the equipment is safe
for operation. Check the security of the cutting tool
and the guard and the switch trigger/lever for easy
and proper action. Check for clean and dry handles
and test the function of the start/stop.
Check damaged parts before further use of the

equipment. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other condition that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be prop-
erly repaired or replaced by our authorized service
center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

equipment.
4. Never climb up into trees to perform cutting
operation with the equipment.
5. Never work on unstable surfaces.
6. Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within
the working range. Foreign particles may dam-
age the cutting tool and can cause dangerous
kick-backs.
7. Should the cutting tool hit stones or other hard
objects, immediately switch off the motor and
inspect the cutting tool.
8. Inspect the cutting tool at short regular inter-
vals for damage (detection of hairline cracks
by means of tapping-noise test).
9. Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool
must have reached full working speed.
10. The cutting tool has to be equipped with the
appropriate guard. Never run the equipment
with damaged guards or without guards in
place!
All protective installations and guards sup-

are kept clear of debris.
14. Cutting means continues to run after the motor
is switched off.
15. If the blades stop moving due to the stuck of
foreign objects between the blades during
operation, switch off the tool and remove the
battery cartridge, and then remove the foreign

Cordless Hedge Trimmer Safety
Warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
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 trim-
mer may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
2.
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.
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.
