account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
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
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) 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.
2.2 HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
• Use both hands when operating the hedge
trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss of
control and result in serious personal injury.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the
cutter blade. Do not remove cut material
or hold material to be cut when blades
are moving. Make sure the switch is off
when clearing jammed material. 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.
2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for
the disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts
or any elements with a strong environmental
impact; this waste must not be disposed of
as normal waste, it must be separated and
taken to specified waste disposal centres
where the material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations
for the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dump it in the environment, but take
it to a waste disposal facility in accordance
with the local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away
with domestic waste. According to the
European Directive 2012/19/EU on
electrical and electronic equipment
waste and its implementation in
compliance with national standards, old electrical
equipment must be collected separately, for eco-
compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is
disposed of in dumps or in landfills, hazardous
substances can leak into the groundwater and
contaminate the food chain, damaging your
health and well-being. For further information on
the disposal of this product, contact your dealer
or a domestic waste collection service.
At the end of their working life, dispose of
batteries paying due attention to the
environment. Batteries contain material
classified as hazardous for you and the
environment. They must be removed and
disposed of separately at a facility that accepts
lithium-ion batteries.
separate waste collection of the products
and packaging used allows the materials
to be recycled and reused. Reuse of
recycled materials help to prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the
demand for raw materials.
