4. 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 mainsoperated tools (with mains supply) and battery-operated
tools (without mains supply).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
4.1 Working area
• Keep your working area clean and tidy. Untidy and
poorly lit working areas may lead to accidents.
• Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive en-
vironments containing combustible uids, gases
or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that may ignite
dusts or fumes.
• Keep children and other persons away when you
are operating the power tool. Distractions may result
in the operator loosing control over the tool.
4.2 Electrical safety
• The mains plug of the power tool’s power adapter
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.
• Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as
pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body earthed.
• Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetration of
water into a power tool increases the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the tool
or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use exclusively extension cables that are approved for outdoor-use. The use of an extension cable that is suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
4.3 Personal safety
• 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.
• 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.
• Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that
the switch is in ‘OFF’ position before insering the
battery in its slot. When carrying the tool with your
nger on the on/off switch or connecting the tool to the
mains supply with the switch in ‘ON’ position, this may
result in accidents.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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-4
Cordless Hedge Trimmer Operating Instructions
• 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.
4.4 Careful handling and use of power tools
• 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.
• 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.
• Pull the battery out of its slot before you adjust a
tool, change accessories or put the tool aside. This
precaution avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly
looked-after cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
jamming less often and are easier to guide.
• 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.
4.5 Appropriate handling and use of bat-
tery-operated power tools
• Make sure that the device has been switched off
before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into a
switched-on power tool may lead to accidents!
• 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!
• Only use batteries designed for your power tool.
The use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk
of re!
• 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!
• 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 ad-
ditionally. Leaking battery uid may lead to irritations
of the skin or burns!
4.6 Service
• 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.
4.7 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 between the blades only with the tool being switched off! When working with hedge trimmers
even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in
severe injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with the
cutting blades standing still. Always put on the
protection cover when transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer. Careful handling reduces the risk of
injury through the cutting blades.
• Only hold the hedge trimmer at the insulated handle surfaces when performing work where the tool
could come into contact with concealed power
lines. If in contact with an energised line, metallic
device parts can become energised and cause an
electric shock.
Additional safety instructions for hedge trimmers
