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.

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.

17. When moving the hedge trimmer to another location,

including during work, always remove the battery

cartridge 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.

18. Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter

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.

19. Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a dry

room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never store the

trimmer outdoors.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the battery

cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room

temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot

battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it for

a long period (more than six months).
