may contact hidden wiring. Blades contact-
ing a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
■
Keep all parts of the body away from the
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are mov-
ing. Blades continue to move after the switch
is turned off. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in se-
rious personal injury.
■
When clearing jammed material or servic-
ing the hedge trimmer, make sure all pow-
er switches are off and the battery pack is
removed or disconnected. Unexpected ac-
tuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing
jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
■
When clearing jammed material or servic-
ing the hedge trimmer, make sure all pow-
er switches are off and the lock-off is in
the locked position. Unexpected actuation
of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious
personal injury.
■
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle
with the blade stopped and taking care
not to operate any power switch. Proper
carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease
the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant
personal injury from the blades.
■
When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer, always use the blade cover. Prop-
er handling of the hedge trimmer will de-
crease the risk of personal injury from the
blades.

Vibration load
■
Danger due to vibration
The actual magnitude of the vibration emis-
sions during the use of the appliance may de-
viate from that stated by the manufacturer.
Observe the following influencing factors be-
fore or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used as intended?
■
Is the material being cut or processed in
the proper manner?
■
Is the appliance in a proper condition of
use?
■
Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or
is the correct cutting tool installed?
24
■
Are the handle grips and any optional vi-
bration grips mounted, and are they firm-
ly attached to the appliance?
■
Only operate the tool at the motor speed re-
quired for the respective work. Avoid using
the maximum speed in order to reduce noise
and vibrations.
■
The noise and vibrations of the tool may in-
crease due to improper use and mainte-
nance. This leads to health damage. In this
case, immediately switch off the tool and
have it repaired by an authorised service
workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to vibration de-
pends on the work to be performed or on the
use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This considerably
reduces stress due to vibration over the en-
tire working time.
■
Extensive use of the tool exposes the opera-
tor to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory
issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk,
wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If
any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, im-
mediately consult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tin-
gling, itching, pain, reduced muscular
strength, changes in the colour or condition
of the skin. Normally these conditions affect
the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increas-
es at low temperatures.
■
Take long breaks during your working day so
you can recover from the noise and the vibra-
tions. Plan your work in such a way that the
use of appliances that generate strong vibra-
tions is spread over several days.
■
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or disc-
olouration of the skin on your hands when us-
ing the tool, stop work immediately. Take suf-
ficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks,
a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.
■
Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibra-
tions. Maintain the tool according to the in-
structions in the operating instructions.
■
If the tool is used frequently, contact your
dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories
(e.g. handles).
■
Avoid working with the tool at temperatures
below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load
can be limited in a work plan.
