EN Safety instructions
Power tool use and maintenance
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Unplug the power cord from the mains outlet and/or remove the battery from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, pay particular
attention to cracks, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the given
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations other
than those for which the power tool is intended could result in hazardous situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions when working with electric hedge trimmer
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 main switch is off when clearing
the material jammed in the hedge trimmer. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. Always fit the blade
scabbard while transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Proper handling of the telescopic
hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only to avoid contact of the cutter blades
of the hedge trimmer with hidden electric wires or its own power cord. Cutter blade contacting
“live” wire may expose metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Keep the power cord away from the cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden
in shrubs and may be accidentally cut by the blade.
