and hobby gardens.

DANGER!
Risk of injury!

The Accu Shears may not be used for chopping in the
sense of composting.
The Accu Shrub Shears are not suited for cutting the
lawn / lawn edges.

2. Safety instructions

WARNING!
v Please read the operating

instructions before using
this tool.

WARNING!
v Do not use in rain or wet

conditions.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings

refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

v Please note the safety instructions on the Accu Shears.

11

GB

2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi­cation. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard had, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and /or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with

your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tools may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of

the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and /or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing acces­sories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one

type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden­tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con tacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected

from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6. Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings:

• Keep all parts of the body away from the
cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or
hold mate rial to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is off when clearing
jammed material.

12

GB

A moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.

• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutter 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 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.
