- Store the hedge trimmer with the sheath on, in a dry room.
Keep it out of reach of children. Never store the trimmer
outdoors.
- Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter after
use, and before putting the trimmer into storage for extend-
ed periods. Lightly oil the cutter and put on the sheath. The
sheath supplied with the unit can be hung on the wall,
providing a safe and practical way to store the hedge
trimmer.
Maintenance
- Switch off the trimmer and disconnect and secure the
mains plug before doing any maintenance work.
- Make especially sure the cutter is undamaged and in good
condition.
- Regularly inspect the power cord for damage to
the insulation. If the power cord is damaged,
disconnect the mains plug.
- Regularly clean the trimmer.
- If the plastic housing is damaged, have the unit repaired by
a qualified service technician immediately. Shock hazard!
Danger of injury!
Follow the accident-prevention instructions and recom-
mendations of your trade association or insurer.
Do not make any modifications to the hedge trimmer.
Doing so will only endanger your safety.
Perform only the maintenance and repair works described
in the instruction manual. All other work must be carried out
by MAKITA Service.
Use only original MAKITA spare parts and accessories.
Using other than original MAKITA parts or accessories
brings a high risk of accidents. We cannot accept any
responsibility for accidents and damage resulting from non-
MAKITA parts and accesories which have not been ap-
proved.
First aid
For the event of a possible accident, please make sure that a
first aid kit is always immediately available close by. Immedi-
ately replace any items used from the first aid box.
When calling for help, give the following information:
- Place of the accident
- What happened
- Number of injured
- Kind of injuries
- Your name!
NOTE
Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed to excessive
vibration may experience injury to blood vessels or the nervous
system.
Vibration may cause the following symptoms to occur in the
fingers, hands or wrists: ”Falling asleep” (numbness), tingling,
pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin colour or of the skin.
If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!
- Do not immobilize the front or rear grip safeties!
- Operate the hedge trimmer only in the manner prescribed
by the instruction manual.
- Switch off the hedge trimmer immediately if you notice any
change in its behaviour.
- Immediately unplug the mains plug if the power cord should
become damaged or severed.
- 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.
- 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.
- Before taking breaks and before leaving the hedge trimmer
unattended, always switch it off and unplug the mains plug.
Place the trimmer in such a way that it cannot endanger
anyone.
Extension power cord
- Use only splash-proof extension cords that are approved
for outdoor use and marked as such.
- When selecting an extension cord, give preference to cords
in fluorescent or eye-catching colours.
- The hedge trimmer is protectively insulated in accordance
with VDE (German Electricians´ Association) Standard
0740 Class II, and can therefore be connected to plug
sockets without ground contact.
- Always work in such a way that the extension power cord
is behind you!
- Always start near the power source and work away from it.
This ensures that the extension cord stays behind the
work area.
- The trimmer power cord must likewise always be behind
the operator. Make sure that it does not get caught, or
comes into contact with sharp objects. Route the cord in
such a way that no persons can be endangered.
Important: Work especially carefully when the extension cord
has to be routed over the hedge!
- Do not use any extension cord with a line cross-section of
less than 3 x 1.5 mm
2
. When using a reel, make sure that
the cord is completely unrolled. The cord length must not
exceed 30 m / 100 ft!
Transportation and storage
- When moving the hedge trimmer to another
location, including during work, always un-
plug the mains plug.
- Never carry or transport the trimmer with the cutter
running!
- Never grasp the cutter with your hands!
- When transporting the hedge trimmer for more than short
distances, always put on the sheath supplied
with the unit.
- Carry the trimmer
only by the front handle. The
cutter should be pointing backwards.
- When carrying the hedge trimmer in a vehicle,
make sure it is in a secure position. It should be
transported only in the trunk or in a transport
area separate from the driver.
