Maintenance and storage
•
If the hedge trimmer is taken out of
operation for purposes of maintenan-
ce, inspection or storage, turn off the
motor, unplug the mains plug and
make absolutely sure that all rotating
parts have come to a standstill. Let the
machine cool down before you check
or adjust it, etc.
•
Hold the hedge trimmer by the
handle when the blade is at a stand-
still. Always place the protective
cover onto the hedge trimmer when
transporting or storing it� Careful
handling of the device reduces the risk
of injury from the blade.
Safety information for
chainsaws
When the saw is operating, keep
•
all body parts away from the saw
chain. Before you start the saw,
ensure that the saw chain is not
touching anything. When using a
chainsaw, losing concentration for
just a moment can lead to clothing or
body parts being caught up in the saw
chain.
•
Always hold the chainsaw with
your right hand on the rear handle
and left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw the other way
around increases the risk of injuries
and is not permitted.
•
Hold the power tool only by the in-
sulated gripping surfaces otherwise
the saw chain may come into con-
tact with its own mains cable. Con-
tact with a live wire by the saw chain
can also cause a charge in metal parts
of the device and result in an electric
shock.

•
Wear protective goggles and hea-
ring protection. Further protective
equipment for the head, hands, legs
and feet is required. Appropriate
protective clothing reduces the risk of
injury from flying chip material and ac-
cidental contact with the saw chain.
•
Do not use the chainsaw to work on
trees� Operating a chainsaw on a tree
poses the risk of injury.
•
Ensure you are standing firmly and
only use the chainsaw if the ground
beneath you is solid, secure and
even. Slippery ground or unstable sur-
faces such as on a ladder can lead to
loss of balance or loss of control over
the chainsaw.
•
If working on a branch under tensi-
on, be aware that it will spring back.
Once the tension in the wood fibres
has been released, the branch may
hit the operator and/or control over the
chainsaw may be lost.
•
Be particularly careful when cutting
brushwood and young trees. The
thin material may become caught in
the saw chain and hit you or cause
you to lose balance.
•
Carry the chainsaw by the front
handle when it is switched off with
the saw chain pointing away from
your body. Always place the protec-
tive cover onto the chainsaw when
transporting or storing it� Careful
handling of the chainsaw reduces the
probability of accidentally coming into
contact with the running saw chain.
•
Observe the instructions for lubri-
cation, chain tensioning and repla-
cing accessories� An improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may rip
apart or increase the risk of kickback.
•
Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery and lead to loss
of control.
