to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the
switch is off when clearing jammed material. A
moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.

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

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. Check to make sure that the voltage and frequency of
the power supply correspond to the specifications
given on the identification plate. We recommend the
use of a residual-current-operated circuit breaker
(ground-fault circuit interrupter) with a tripping current
of 30 mA or less, or an earth leakage current
protector.
10. 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.

14. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.

removing material caught in the cutter, always switch
off the trimmer and remove the battery cartridge.
17. Switch off the trimmer and remove the battery
cartridge before doing any maintenance work.

store the hedge trimmer.

room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never store the
trimmer outdoors.
