Hedge cutter attachment

Intended use

This hedge trimmer is only intended to be used to trim
shrubs, bushes, ornamental plants and hedges. It is de-
signed to cut branches with a diameter of no more than
18 mm. The hedge trimmer is not intended for commer-
cial use. The user of the hedge trimmer must make sure
that the protective equipment specified in the operating
instructions and by the warning label on the trimmer is
attached whenever the trimmer is in use. The hedge trim-
mer must be checked for electrical or mechanical damage
before it is used or while it is being used.
Stop working and contact a specialist workshop if you find
any damage.
Improper use
Any use not identified in the chapter „Intended use" is an
improper use.
The user of the hedge trimmer is solely liable for any
property damage or personal injury arising from improper
use of the hedge trimmer.
The manufacturer's obligation to honour the warranty
is voided if the hedge trimmer is used with non-original
parts.
Residual dangers
Residual risks always remain even if the hedge trimmer is
used properly. The hedge trimmer's design can entail the
following hazards:
• Contact can be made with the unprotected blade (re-
sulting in cutting injuries)
• Reaching into or grabbing the hedge trimmer while it is
in operation (resulting in cutting injuries)
• Unanticipated, sudden movement of the plant material
being cut (resulting in cutting injuries)
• Ejection or catapulting of damaged cutting teeth
• Ejection or catapulting of the plant material being cut
• Hearing damage if the specified hearing protection is
not worn
• Inhalation of cut materials
