jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the blade
may contact hidden wiring. Blades contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
f) Keep all power cords and cables away
from cutting area. Power cords or cables may
be hidden in hedges or brushes and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
g) 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.
h) To reduce the risk of electrocution, never
use the extended-reach hedge trimmer
near any electrical power lines. Contact with
or use near power lines may cause serious injury
or electric shock resulting in death.
i) Always use two hands when operating
the extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the
extended-reach hedge trimmerwith both hands
to avoid loss of control.
j) Always use head protection when
operating the
trimmer. Falling debris can result in serious
personal injury
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.
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 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
Ensure regular maintenance and correct
storage to maintain machine safety and high
performance levels.
• When the machine is stopped for servicing,
inspection, or storage, or to change an
accessory, shut off the power source,
disconnect the machine from the supply and
make sure that all moving parts are come to
a complete stop.
• Allow the machine to cool beforemaking any

• Maintain the machine with care and keep
it clean in a dry place out of the reach of
children.
• Never use the machine with worn or
damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts
must always be replaced and never repaired.
Use original replacement parts only.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers
with debris inside a room.
The noise and vibration levels shown in
these instructions are the maximum levels
hedge
for use of the machine. Suitable preventive
measures must be adopted to eliminate
possible harm caused by high noise levels
and vibration-induced stresses; utilise the
machine at constant speed, firmly hold the
handgrip with adequate strength, utilise the
machine at the minimum speed required
to perform the work, wear ear-protection
devices, make frequent and adequate pauses
during the work.
2.4 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.
• 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.
