caused by dust.
4) Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the
power tool intended for your type of
work in each case. The use of the suit-
able power tool within the stated range of
performance makes working more effective
and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a dam-
aged switch. A power tool that cannot be
switched on or off any more is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug and/or remove the
battery before adjusting a tool, changing
accessories or putting the tool aside.
This precaution avoids the unintentional
start of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are currently not
used 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 may
affect the function of the power tool.
Have damaged parts repaired before us-
ing the tool. Many accidents are the result
of poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Thoroughly maintained 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
continued 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.
• Check the hedge for hidden objects such as
wire fencing before beginning to cut.
• The hedge trimmer may not be used by per-
sons who are younger than 16 years of age
or by persons who have not been trained to
use it.
• Keep the hedge trimmer away from children,
other persons and pets.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. This could become
caught in moving parts. Wearing rubber
gloves and sturdy footwear is recommended.
Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
• Wear a dust mask if it is dusty where you are
working.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer if the cutter is
not properly secured or if it is damaged.
• Make sure before switching on the hedge
trimmer that the blades do not come into con-
tact with stones or rubble.
• When working, keep the cutter away from
your body and extremities.
• Do not cut hard objects. This can cause inju-
