manufacturer / supplier is not liable for any injury and/or
damage arising from inappropriate use. This risk is the
sole responsibility of the user. Appropriate use of the machine
also includes adherence to the operating instructions and
compliance with the servicing and maintenance instructions.
Always keep the instruction manual close at hand during
operation!
6. General safety instructions
Attention! Read all instructions contained herein. Failure to
observe the following instructions may result in electric shock,
burns and/or severe injury. The term ‘power tool’ used in the
following includes both mains-operated tools (with electric
supply) and battery-operated tools (without electric supply).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
1) Working area
a) Keep your working area clean and tidy. Untidy and
poorly lit working areas may lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive
environments containing combustible uids, gases
or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that may ignite
dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away when you
are operating the power tool. Distractions may result
in the operator loosing control over the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool charger must t
into the mains socket. The plug must not be modied
in any way. Do not use adapter plugs/connectors in
combination with tools with protective earthing.
Unmodied plugs and tting sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as
pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetration of water
into a power tool increases the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you do and apply
reasonable care when working with a power tool.
Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the
inuence of medication, drugs or alcohol. When
working with power tools even a short moment of
inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and always
wear eye protection (safety goggles). Wearing
personal protection equipment as a dust mask, nonslip
safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors (depending
on the type and use of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the like
before you switch the tool on. A wrench or another
tool that is inside or on a turning part of the tool may
cause injury.
d) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care of a
safe footing and keep your balance at all times. This
will allow you to better control the tool in unexpected
situations.
e) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves clear
of all moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair may get caught in moving parts.
GB | Operating Instruction
7 Battery Powered Grass - and Shrub Shear- Operator’s Manual
f) If dust extraction/collection devices are provided
make sure that they are connected and used
properly. The use of these devices reduces hazards
caused by dust.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power tool
intended for your type of work in each case. The
use of the suitable power tool within the stated range of
performance makes working more effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A
power tool that cannot be switched on or off any more
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the battery from the power tool before you
adjust a tool, change accessories or put the tool
aside. This precaution avoids the unintentional start
of the tool.
d) Store power tools 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 working properly and are
not jamming/sticking, and whether parts are broken
or otherwise damaged in a way that affects the
function of the tool. Have damaged parts repaired
before using the tool. Many accidents are the result
of poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly
looked-after 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 instructions 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) Appropriate handling and use of battery-operated
power tools
a) Only use charging devices recommended by the
manufacturer to charge the batteries. Charging units
are usually designed for certain types of batteries; if used
with other types there is a risk of re!
b) Only use batteries designed for your power tool. The
use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk of re!
c) Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that
may bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the
battery contacts may lead to burns or re!
d) Improper use may result in uid leaking out of the
battery. Avoid any contact with battery uid. Flush
with water in case of contact. If battery uid should
get into your eyes seek medical advice additionally.
Leaking battery uid may lead to irritations of the skin
or burns!
6) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualied technical
personnel only; repairs should be carried out using
exclusively original spare parts. This will ensure the
safe operation of the power tool.
7) Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
1. 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
