Battery tool use and care

■
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charter that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
■
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
■
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, lie paper-
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
■
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected form the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

■
Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings

■
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 moment of in-
attention while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.
■
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle
with the 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.
■
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.

Vibration load

WARNING!
Danger due to vibration
The actual magnitude of the vibration
emissions during the use of the appli-
ance may deviate from that stated by the
manufacturer. Observe the following in-
fluencing factors before or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used as in-
tended?
■
Is the material being cut or pro-
cessed in the proper manner?
■
Is the appliance in a proper condi-
tion of use?
■
Is the cutting tool properly sharp-
ened or is the correct cutting tool in-
stalled?
■
Are the handle grips and any option-
al vibration grips mounted, and are
they firmly attached to the appli-
ance?
■
Only operate the tool at the motor speed re-
quired for the respective work. Avoid using
the maximum speed in order to reduce noise
and vibrations.
■
The noise and vibrations of the tool may in-
crease due to improper use and mainte-
nance. This leads to health damage. In this
case, immediately switch off the tool and
have it repaired by an authorised service
workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to vibration de-
pends on the work to be performed or on the
use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This considerably
reduces stress due to vibration over the en-
tire working time.
■
Extensive use of the tool exposes the opera-
tor to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory
issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk,
wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If
any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, im-
mediately consult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tin-
gling, itching, pain, reduced muscular
strength, changes in the colour or condition
of the skin. Normally these conditions affect
the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increas-
es at low temperatures.
■
Take long breaks during your working day so
you can recover from the noise and the vibra-
