• If operation of the electric tool in a damp envi­
ronment can not be avoided, use a earthleakage
circuit­breaker. The earth­leakage circuit­breaker
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electro­
magnetic field during operation. This field can im­
pair active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious
or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat­
ing the electric tool.
3 Safety of persons
• Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an
electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention when us­
ing the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
• Wear personal protection equipment and always
wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection
(such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety
helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type
and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of
injury.
• Make sure that the appliance cannot start up ac­
cidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is switched
off before you connect it to the power supply and/or
insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your
finger is on the switch whilst carrying the electric
tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains
when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
• Remove keys and wrenches before switching on
the electric tool. A tool or key which comes into
contact with rotating parts of the appliance can
lead to injuries.
• Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you
stand squarely and keep your balance at all times.
In this way, you can control the electric tool better
in unexpected circumstances.
• Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery
or long hair can get trapped in moving parts.
• If vacuuming devices and draining devices can be
fitted, make sure that these are correctly attached
and correctly used. The use of a dust extraction
system can reduce the danger posed by dust.
4 Usage and treatment of the electric tool
• Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct tool
for your work. You will be able to work better and
more safely within the given performance bounda­
ries.
• Do not use an electric tool with a defective switch.
An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off is
dangerous and must be repaired.

• Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the
battery before making any adjustments to the ap­
pliance, changing accessories or put the appliance
down. This safety measure prevents starting the
electric tool unintentionally.
• Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of chil­
dren. Do not allow people who are not familiar with
the appliance or who have not read these instruc­
tions to use the appliance. Electric tools are dan­
gerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
• Clean your electric tool carefully. Check whether
moving parts are functioning properly and not jam­
ming, whether parts are broken or damaged enough
that the functioning of this electric tool is affected.
Have damaged parts repaired before using the ap­
pliance. Many accidents are caused by badly main­
tained electric tools.
• Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
will jam less and are easier to control.
• Make sure to use electric tools, accessories, at­
tachments, etc. in accordance with these instruc­
tions. Take the conditions in your work area and
the job in hand into account. Using electric tools for
any purpose other than the one for which they are
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
5 Service
• Have your electric tool repaired only by trained
personnel using only genuine spare parts. This will
ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use.
Safety regulations for hedge trimmers
• Make sure you keep all parts of your body away
from the blades. Never attempt to remove the cut­
tings with the blades running or to hold material
you wish to cut. Always switch off the equipment
before attempting to remove any jammed cuttings.
A single moment of carelessness when using the
hedge trimmer can result in serious injuries.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle and make
sure the blades have stopped. Always fit the pro­
tective cover when transporting the hedge trimmer
or putting it into storage. Careful handling of the
equipment reduces the likelihood of injury by the
blades.
• Hold the electric tool by the insulated handles, be­
cause the blade may come into contact with the
tool's own mains lead. Contact between the blade
and a live cable can also make the metal parts of
the equipment live and will cause an electric shock.
• Keep the cable out of the cutting zone. During op­
eration the cable may be covered by hedges and
cut through by accident.
