Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands on the handles. Wrap fingers
and thumbs firmly around the handles.
Right-handers
Right hand on the control handle and left
hand on the loop handle.
Left-handers
Left hand on the control handle and right
hand on the loop handle.
Make sure you have firm and secure
footing and hold the power tool so that
the cutting blades are always away from
your body.
During Operation
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the motor
immediately – release the trigger or
switch lever or trigger or auxiliary switch.
Check that there are no bystanders in
the general work area.
Watch the cutting blades at all times – do
not cut areas of the hedge that you
cannot see.
Be extremely careful when cutting tall
hedges, check the other side of the
hedge before starting work.
The drive motor is not
waterproof. To reduce
the risk of a short circuit
or electrocution, never
work with the power tool
in the rain or in wet or
very damp locations.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
Your power tool is equipped with a
system designed to quickly stop the
cutting blades – they come to an
immediate standstill as soon as you
release the trigger switch or the switch
lever, or the auxiliary switch.
Check this function at regular short
intervals. To reduce the risk of injury, do
not operate your power tool if the cutting
blades continue to run after switch-off.
Contact your servicing dealer.
Take special care in slippery conditions,
on slopes or uneven ground.
Clear away fallen branches, scrub and
cuttings.
