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.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
1.
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold mate-
rial 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 or its own cord. Cutter
blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Keep cable away from cutting area. During
4.
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 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.
9.
Never use the trimmer when under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medication.
10. Check to make sure that the voltage and fre-
quency of the power supply correspond to the
specifications given on the identification plate. We
recommend the use of a residual-current-operated
circuit breaker (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 dam-
age 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 start-
ing operation.
16. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
17. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Switch off the trimmer and disconnect and secure
the mains plug before doing any maintenance
work.
21. When moving the hedge trimmer to another loca-
tion, including during work, always unplug the
mains plug and put the blade cover on the cutter
blades. Never carry or transport the trimmer with
the cutter running. Never grasp the cutter with
your hands.
22. Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cut-
ter 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.
23. Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a dry
room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never store
the trimmer outdoors.
24. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
25. Never point the shear blades to yourself or
others.
26. If the blades stop moving due to the stuck of
foreign objects between the blades during
operation, switch off the tool and unplug
the mains plug, and then remove the foreign
objects using tools such as pliers. Removing
the foreign objects by hand may cause an injury
for the reason that the blades may move in reac-
tion to removing the foreign objects.
27. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the
tool in damp or wet locations or expose it to
rain. Water entering the tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
28. Check the hedges and bushes for foreign
objects, such as wire fences or hidden wiring
before operating the tool.
