Normal intended use
The hedge shears is only intended for the private use in the
house and hobby garden.
As hedge shears for the private house and hobby garden
are considered such devices that are not applied in public
facilities, parks, and sports facilities as well as in the
agriculture and silviculture.
The device shall not be used for cutting grass, grass
borders or in order to chop for composting. Risk of injuries
existing!
The intended usage also includes compliance with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by the
manufacturer and following the safety instructions included
in the instructions.
The relevant accident prevention regulations for the
operation as well as the other generally acknowledged
occupational medicine and safety rules must be complied
with.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this: the user bears the sole risk.
Arbitrary modifications on the hedge shears exclude a
liability of the manufacturer for damages of all kinds
resulting from it.
The hedge shears shall only be assembled, used and
maintained by persons who are familiar with it and
instructed about the risks. Repair works may only be carried
out by us or by a customer service agent nominated by us.
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.
Metallic parts (wires etc.) have unconditionally to be
removed from the material to be cut.
Residual risks
Even if used properly, residual risks
can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety information” and
the “Intended usage” as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Risk of injuries of fingers and hands by the tool.
Injury by catapulted workpiece parts.
Breaking or catapulting of knife pieces.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Electric shock.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Eye injury when failing to wear safety goggles or visor.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.
Vibrations
Front handle: ahv,eq = 3.991
m/s²; K = 1.5 m/s²
Rear handle: ahv,eq = 3.781 m/s²; K = 1.5 m/s²
The indicated vibration emission level has been measured
according to a standardised test method and can be used to
compare power tools.
It can also be used for an initial estimate of exposure.
Warning!
The vibration emission level can differ from the indicated value
during actual use of the power tool depending on the manner of
usage.
It is necessary to define safety measures to protect the operator
that are based on an estimate of exposure at the actual
conditions of usage (for this, all parts of the operation cycle
have to be considered, e.g. times during which the power tool is
cut off and times during which it is switched on but runs in no-
load mode).

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool/garden product” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) garden product or battery-
operated (cordless) garden product.
1. Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
