- NEVER affix the grip safeties in the down position!

- Operate the hedge trimmer only in the manner prescribed

by the instruction manual.

- Switch off the hedge trimmer immediately if you notice any

change in its behaviour.

- Immediately unplug the mains plug if the power cord should

become damaged or severed.

- 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.

- 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.

- Before taking breaks and before leaving the hedge trimmer

unattended, always switch it off and unplug the mains plug.

Place the trimmer in such a way that it cannot endanger

anyone.

Extension power cord

- Use only splash-proof extension cords that are approved

for outdoor use and marked as such.

- When selecting an extension cord, give preference to cords

in fluorescent or eye-catching colours.

- The hedge trimmer is protectively insulated in accordance

with VDE (German Electricians´ Association) Standard

0740 Class II, and can therefore be connected to plug

sockets without ground contact.

- Always work in such a way that the extension power cord

is behind you!

- Always start near the power source and work away from it.

This ensures that the extension cord stays behind the work

area.

- The trimmer power cord must likewise always be behind

the operator. Make sure that it does not get caught, or

comes into contact with sharp objects. Route the cord in

such a way that no persons can be endangered.

Important: Work especially carefully when the extension cord

has to be routed over the hedge!

- Do not use any extension cord with a line cross-section of

less than 3 x 1.5 mm

2

. When using a reel, make sure that

the cord is completely unrolled. The cord length must not

exceed 30 m / 100 ft!

Transportation and storage

- When moving the hedge trimmer to another

location, including during work, always un-

plug the mains plug.

- Never carry or transport the trimmer with the cutter

running!

- Never grasp the cutter with your hands!

- When transporting the hedge trimmer for more

than short distances, always put on the sheath

supplied with the unit.

- Carry the trimmer

only by the front handle. The

cutter should be pointing backwards.

- When carrying the hedge trimmer in a vehicle, make sure

it is in a secure position. It should be transported only in the

trunk or in a transport area separate from the driver.

- Store the hedge trimmer with the sheath on, in a dry room.

Keep it out of reach of children. Never store the trimmer

outdoors.

- Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter after

use, and before putting the trimmer into storage for extend-

ed periods. Lightly oil the cutter and put on the sheath. The

sheath supplied with the unit can be hung on the wall,

providing a safe and practical way to store the hedge

trimmer.

Maintenance

- Switch off the trimmer and disconnect and

secure the mains plug before doing any

maintenance work.

- Make especially sure the cutter is undamaged and in good

condition.

- Regularly inspect the power cord for damage to the insula-

tion. If the power cord is damaged, disconnect the mains

plug.

- Regularly clean the trimmer.

- If the plastic housing is damaged, have the unit repaired by

a qualified service technician immediately. Shock hazard!
