cutting device cover. Proper handling of the

hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal

injury from the cutter blades.

3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the cutter blade may

contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter

blades contacting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electric shock.

4. Keep cable away from cutting area. During

operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and

can be accidentally cut by the blade.

5. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet

or very damp conditions. The electric motor is not

waterproof.

6. First-time users should have an experienced

hedge trimmer user show them how to use the

trimmer.

7. The hedge trimmer must not be used by children

or young persons under 18 years of age. Young

persons over 16 years of age may be exempted

from this restriction if they are undergoing training

under the supervision of an expert.

8. Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good

physical condition. If you are tired, your attention

will be reduced. Be especially careful at the end

of a working day. Perform all work calmly and

carefully. The user is responsible for all damages

to third parties.

9. Never use the trimmer when under the influence

of alcohol, drugs or medication.

10. Check to make sure that the voltage and

frequency of the power supply correspond to the

specifications given on the identification plate. We

recommend the use of a residual-current-

operated circuit breaker (ground-fault circuit

interrupter) with a tripping current of 30 mA or

less, or an earth leakage current protector.

11. Work gloves of stout leather are part of the basic

equipment of the hedge trimmer and must always

be worn when working with it. Also wear sturdy

shoes with anti-skid soles.

12. Before starting work check to make sure that the

trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure

guards are fitted properly. Check cable for

damage before starting work and replace if

necessary. The hedge trimmer must not be used

unless fully assembled.

13. Keep cable away from the cutting area. Always

work in such a way that the extension power cord

is behind you.

14. Remove plug from the mains immediately if cable

is damaged or cut.

15. Make sure you have a secure footing before

starting operation.

16. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.

17. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.

18. Immediately switch off the motor and unplug the

mains plug if the cutter should come into contact

with a fence or other hard object. Check the

cutter for damage, and if damaged repair

immediately.

19. Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults,

or removing material caught in the cutter, always

switch off the trimmer and unplug the mains plug.

20. Switch off the trimmer and disconnect and secure

the mains plug before doing any maintenance

work.

21. When moving the hedge trimmer to another

location, including during work, always unplug the

mains plug and put the blade cover on the cutter

blades. Never carry or transport the trimmer with

the cutter running. Never grasp the cutter with

your hands.

22. Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter

after use, and before putting the trimmer into

storage for extended periods. Lightly oil the cutter

and put on the cover. The cover supplied with the

unit can be hung on the wall, providing a safe and

practical way to store the hedge trimmer.

23. Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a

dry room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never

store the trimmer outdoors.

24. Do not operate the tool at no-load

unnecessarily.
