If necessary have the machine repaired.
Wear CE Approved eye and ear protection and if applicable a hard hat. Periodically check and maintain the unit. Only have the unit repaired by an authorised expert.

Periodically check that nuts, screws and other fastening elements are tightened firmly. WARNING! The rotation or motion of the cutting tools will continue a while after switching off the
engine.
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
a) Keep all body parts away from the cutting blades. Do not try to remove clippings or hold
material you are going to cut with the blade running. Only remove trapped clippings when the unit is switched off and unplugged. One careless moment while you are using the hedge trimmer could lead
to serious injuries.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle while the blade is idle. If you transport or store the hedge trimmer always put on the protective cover. Careful handling of the unit reduces the risk of
injury..
c) Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain. d) Please wear work gloves, safety goggles, sturdy shoes and long trousers when using the machine. e) Always use both hands to hold the unit.
f) The unit is designed to trim hedges. Do not cut branches, hard wood or the like with this unit. g) Do not attempt to release a blocked/jammed blade before switching off the unit and
unplugging. h) Scan the hedge for hidden objects e.g. wire etc. before starting to work. i) Always assume a secure standing position when operating the machine, especially if you use a
ladder.
Safety instructions for chainsaw:
a) Keep the cutting unit of the extendable pole saw at least 10 m away from electric lines. b) Wear ear and head protection as well as long, durable clothes and sturdy, antiskid footwear. c) If you are a beginner ask an experienced person for instructions before you work with the unit for
the first time on your own.
d) Do not use the unit when you’re feeling tired or sick or you are under the influence of medicine,
drugs or alcohol. e) Frequently take a long break and change your position to avoid getting tired too soon. f) Keep others, in particular children and even animals, away from the activity area. g) Remove branches in sections.
h) When working overhead mind falling clippings and make sure that these cannot affect your work
or injure you. Remember that falling clippings could bounce of the ground. ATTENTION! The extendable pole saw has the capacity to cut through branches which
could kill you and other people when falling down.
- 6 -
i) Before you start working remove any debris from the ground to avoid tripping. j) Always stand in a secure position and keep your balance. k) Always keep extension and connecting cables behind the saw or away from the cutting area. l) Only use spare parts approved by the manufacturer, in particular with regard to the chain and
chain guide. m) We highly recommend the use of an RCD (residual current detector) at all times. These are
inexpensive and available from all good hardware outlets.
n.When cutting a branch under tension, understand that the branch will bounce back so keep well out of the way. o Kickback causes and prevention: Kickback may take place when the saw bar point touches an item or when the wood bends and the saw chai n gets stuck in the cutting. In many cases, a contact with the bar point may lead to a situation when the operator unexpectedly bends b ackward and as a result, the bar is ejected upward toward the operator . Backlash is a result of inappropriate or wrong use can be prevented by appropriate preventive measures des cribed below:Hold the saw firmly with both hands with thumbs and fingers embracing the chainsaw handles. Avoid abnormal body posture and do not cut above the shoulder level. This will prevent a contact with the bar point .
Safety instructions for grass trimmers and brush cutter:
Proper and safe use
a) Wear eye protection and gloves. b) Never allow children or people who are not familiar with these instructions to use the machine. c) Stop using the machine when people, in particular children or pets, are nearby. A minimum 15m
distance is recommended.
d) Only use the machine in daylight or bright artificial lighting. e) Before starting to operate the machine and after any impact check for signs of wear and tear or
damages and have the necessary repairs carried out. Never use the machine when the
protection is damaged or missing.
f) Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting unit, especially when you switch on the
engine.
g) Treat the cutter that is used to cut the length of trimming line with care – you could injure yourself
with it. After you’ve pulled out a new thread always keep the machine in its normal working
position before switching it on.
