Safety information for pole-mounted
pruners
• Make sure that the working area is free
from obstacles. Do not allow the tip of the
sawing rail to come into contact with a
fence, branch or similar when operating
the product.
• Do not use the product on ladders or
unstable surfaces. Stand firmly on the
ground with both feet to prevent loss of
balance.
• To protect yourself against electric shock
you should never use the product closer
than 10 m from overhead power lines.
• To protect yourself against falling
branches you should not stand directly
underneath the parts to be cut. Do not
hold the product at an angle of more than
60° to the ground.
Safety information for hedge trimmers
• Cut only wood. The hedge trimmer
must not be used for any purpose
other than that intended. Improper use
of the hedge trimmer can create danger-
ous situations.
• The hedge trimmer may not be used for
cutting lawns/lawn edges or for chopping
in the sense of composting.
• If severe vibrations occur or if the
operating volume increases, turn off
the product and pull out the mains
plug. The cutting tool may have been
damaged by a foreign object, in which
case safe operation can no longer be
guaranteed.
• Never grab material to be cut. Only
remove any jammed material to be cut
when the device is switched off.
Momentary distraction when using the
hedge trimmer can cause serious injuries.
• Hold the hedge trimmer securely with
both hands, and keep your thumb and
finger around the handles of the hedge
trimmer. If appropriate measures are
taken, the operator will be able to mini-
mise potential hazards.
• Hold the electrical tool only by the
insulated handles, as the cutting blade
can come into contact with hidden
electricity cables. Contact of the cutting
blade with a live cable can also bring
metallic device parts under voltage and
may lead to an electric shock.

• Never let go of the hedge trimmer.
Avoid an abnormal body position and
do not cut above shoulder height. This
can cause unintentional contact with the
cutting tool and enables better control of
the hedge trimmer in unexpected situa-
tions.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the front
handle with it turned off and keep the
cutting tool away from your body.
Always fit the protective cover when
transporting or storing the hedge trim-
mer. Careful handling of the hedge trim-
mer reduces the likelihood of the running
cutting tool being touched accidentally.
• Always ensure that you are standing
firmly and only use the hedge trimmer
when you are standing on stable, firm
and level ground. A slippery subsurface
or instable standing area such as on a lad-
der can cause you to lose your balance or
lose control over the hedge trimmer.
• When cutting a branch under tension,
remember that it will spring back. If
the tension is released in the wood fibres,
the tense branch can hit the operator and/
or wrest control of the hedge trimmer
away from him or her.
• To protect yourself against electric
shock you should never use the prod-
uct closer than 15 m from overhead
power lines. Power lines are often over-
grown and not readily visible.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer on a
tree. Using the hedge trimmer on a tree
poses a risk of injury.
• Familiarise yourself with the environ-
ment you are working in. The noise
from the hedge trimmer can drown out the
sound of other obstacles and hazards.
• Never use modified or incomplete
hedge trimmers. This is the only way to
ensure that all handles and safety devices
are affixed to the product.
• Never clean the cutting tool while it is run-
ning.
• Never use the hedge trimmer with a
defective or badly work cutting device.
• Do not wear jewellery that could become
caught by the cutting tool.
Additional safety information
• It is recommended that the user is
instructed by a qualified specialist with
regard to the operation of the chain saw
