trimmer overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
• Keep all body parts 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 in stop position when
removing the cut material. A moment of
negligence when using the hedge trimmer
may lead to serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by holding it
from the handle with the blade in stop
position. Always mount the cutting means
guard during transport or when the
machine is being stored. Proper handling
of the hedge trimmer reduces the possibility
of personal injury caused by the blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may
come in contact with 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.
• Never allow children or persons
unfamiliar with these instructions to
use the machine. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator.
• When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer, always fit the blade cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease
the risk of personal injury from the blades.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad
weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning. This decreases
the risk of being struck by lightning.
DANGER
If something breaks or an accident occurs
during work, turn off the motor immediately
and move the machine away to prevent further
damage; if an accident occurs with injuries
or third parties are injured, carry out the first
aid measures most suitable for the situation
immediately and contact the medical authorities
for any necessary health care. Carefully
remove any debris which could cause damage
or injury to persons or animals if ignored.
DANGER
Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause
injuries and neurovascular disorders (also
called "Raynaud's syndrome" or "white finger"),
especially to people suffering from circulation
disorders. The symptoms can regard the hands,
wrists and fingers and are shown through
loss of sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain and
discolouring of or structural changes to the
skin. These effects can be worsened by low
ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the
hand grips excessively tightly. If the symptoms
occur, the length of time the machine is used
must be reduced and a doctor consulted.
2.3 BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
ATTENTION
The following safety rules complement the safety
rules contained in the battery charger manual.
• Only use battery chargers recommended
by the manufacturer to recharge batteries.
An inadequate battery charger may
cause electric shock, overheating or
corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically designed
for your power tool. The use of other
batteries may cause injuries and fire risks.
• Before inserting the battery, make sure that
the battery backpack selector is to "OFF"
position. Inserting a battery in a machine
which is switched on can cause a fire.
• Keep all unused batteries at a distance
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects as
contact with the same can cause short
circuits. Short circuits between battery
contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
• Never use the battery charger in
environments in the presence of vapours,
flammable substances or on easily
flammable surfaces such as paper, fabric,
etc. The battery charger heats up during
recharging and may cause a fire.
• When transporting batteries, make
sure the contacts never come into
contact with each other and never use
metal containers to transport them.

2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Protecting the environment must be a
significant and top priority for machine
use, to the benefit of civil co-habitation
and of the environment that we live in.
• Avoid being an element of disturbance to
the surrounding area. Use this machine
at reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations
for the disposal of packaging, deteriorated
parts or any elements with a strong
environmental impact; this waste must
not be disposed of with regular waste, but
