a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct tool for your work. You will be able to
work better and more safely within the given
performance boundaries.

switch. An electric tool that cannot be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
the battery before making any adjustments to
the appliance, changing accessories or put
the appliance down. This safety measure
prevents starting the electric tool unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach
of children. Do not allow people who are not
familiar with the appliance or who have not
read these instructions to use the appliance.
Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check
whether moving parts are functioning
properly and not jamming, whether parts are
broken or damaged enough that the
functioning of this electric tool is affected.
Have damaged parts repaired before using
the appliance. Many accidents are caused by
badly maintained electric tools.
f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.
g) Make sure to use electric tools, accessories,
attachments, etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take the conditions in your work
area and the job in hand into account. Using
electric tools for any purpose other than the one
for which they are intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
5. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine spare
parts. This will ensure that your electric tool
remains safe to use.
Safety regulations for hedge trimmers
Make sure you keep all parts of your body
n
away from the blades. Never attempt to
remove the cuttings with the blades running
or to hold material you wish to cut. Always
switch off the equipment before attempting
to remove any jammed cuttings. A single
moment of carelessness when using the hedge
16
trimmer can result in serious injuries.
Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle and
n
make sure the blades have stopped. Always
fit the protective cover when transporting the
hedge trimmer or putting it into storage.
Careful handling of the equipment reduces the
likelihood of injury by the blades.
Hold the electric tool by the insulated
n
handles, because the blade may come into
contact with the tool's own mains lead.
Contact between the blade and a live cable can
also make the metal parts of the equipment live
and will cause an electric shock.
Keep the cable out of the cutting zone. During
n
operation the cable may be covered by hedges
and cut through by accident.
