tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suit able for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that
can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hedge trimmer safety warnings:
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold mate rial
to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the
switch is off when clearing jammed material.
A moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting
device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur faces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hid-
den wiring. Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Additional safety warnings
DANGER! Small parts can be easily swallowed. There
is also a risk that the polybag can suffocate toddlers.
Keep toddlers away when you assemble the product.
