CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER

SAFETY WARNINGS

GEB062-4

1. 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.

2. 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

trimmer may result in serious personal injury.

3. 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.

4. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet or

very damp conditions. The electric motor is not

waterproof.

5. First-time users should have an experienced hedge

trimmer user show them how to use the trimmer.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Never use the trimmer when under the influence of

alcohol, drugs or medication.

9. 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.

10. Before starting work check to make sure that the

trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure

guards are fitted properly. The hedge trimmer must

not be used unless fully assembled.

11. Make sure you have a secure footing before starting

operation.

12. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.

13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.

14. Immediately switch off the motor and remove the

battery cartridge if the cutter should come into contact

with a fence or other hard object. Check the cutter for

damage, and if damaged repair immediately.

15. Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults, or

removing material caught in the cutter, always switch

off the trimmer and remove the battery cartridge.

16. Switch off the trimmer and remove the battery

cartridge before doing any maintenance work.

including during work, always remove the battery

cartridge and put the blade cover on the cutter blades.
