c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket be-
fore you adjust a tool, change accesso-
ries or put the tool aside. This precaution
avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons to use
the tool if they are not familiar with the
tool or these instructions. Power tools
are dangerous if used by inexperienced
persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool.
Check whether moving parts are work-
ing properly and are not jamming/stick-
ing, and whether parts are broken or
otherwise damaged in a way that affects
the function of the tool. Have damaged
parts repaired before using the tool.
Many accidents are the result of poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Thoroughly looked-after cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are jamming less often
and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on
tools, etc. in accordance with these in-
structions and in the way prescribed for
the respective type of tool. You should
also consider the working conditions
and the work to be carried out. The use
of power tools for purposes other than
those intended for the respective tool may
result in dangerous situations.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by quali-
fied technical personnel only; repairs
should be carried out using exclusively
original spare parts. This will ensure the
safe operation of the power tool.
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
Keep all parts of your body away from the
-
cutting blades. Do not try to remove cut-off
matter with the tool running. Do not try to
hold material to be cut off with your hand.
Remove cut-off matter that is stuck be-
tween the blades only with the tool being
switched off! When working with hedge trim-
mers even a short moment of inattentiveness
may result in severe injury.
Hold the power tool by its insulated han-
-
dling surfaces as the cutting blades might
get in touch with the tool's own power
cable. If the cutting blades should acciden-
tally cut into a live power cable this might turn
metal parts of the tool 'hot' thereby causing an
electric shock.
Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with
-
the cutting blades standing still. Always
put on the protection cover when trans-
porting or storing the hedge trimmer. Care-
ful handling reduces the risk of injury through
the cutting blades.
Keep the cable away from the cutting area.
-
When working with the trimmer the cable
might be hidden in bushes and accidentally
cut through.
