ENGLISH
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
u
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
u
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.
The intended use is described in this instruction
u
manual. The use of any accessory or attachment or per-
formance of any operation with this tool other than those
recommended in this instruction manual can present a risk
of personal injury and/or damage to property.
Do not carry the tool with your hands on the front
u
handle, switch or the trigger switch unless the battery

u
ably seek practical instruction by an experienced user
in addition to studying this manual.

still.

u
to a complete standstill.
Regularly check the blades for damage and wear. Do
u
not use the tool when the blades are damaged.
Take care to avoid hard objects (e.g. metal wire, rail-
u
ings) when trimming. Should you accidentally hit any
such object, immediately switch the tool off and check for
any damage.
Should the tool start to vibrate abnormally, immedi-
u
ately switch it off and remove the battery then check
for any damage.
If the tool stalls, immediately switch it off. Remove the
u
battery before attempting to remove any obstructions.
After use, place the blade sheath supplied over the
u

exposed.

u
the tool. Never attempt to use an incomplete tool or a tool
with unauthorised modifications.
