Warning!
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or pas-
sive medical implants under certain conditions. In or-
der to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we
recommend that persons with medical implants con-
sult with their physician and the manufacturer of the
medical implant prior to operating 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 using
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 in-
jury.
• 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.
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
children. Do not allow people who are not fa-
miliar with the appliance or who have not
read these instructions to use the appliance.
Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by in-
experienced people.
• Clean your electric tool carefully. Check wheth-
er moving parts are functioning properly and not
jamming, whether parts are broken or damaged
enough that the functioning of this electric tool is
affected. Have damaged parts repaired before us-
ing the appliance. Many accidents are caused by
badly maintained 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 sin-
gle 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.
