CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. 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
switch is off when clearing jammed material. A
ENE014-1
moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
ENH032-3
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
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
GEA010-1 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.
