PERSONAL SAFETY
Always wear appropriate work clothing, protective gloves and solid shoes.
Before cutting, inspect the shrubs thoroughly and remove any foreign objects and wires. When adjusting the
tool (rotating the cutting unit, tilting the cutter, etc.), fi t the blade scabbard fi rst. During these operations the
hedge trimmer may not lean against the cutting blade.
Each time before you start using the tool and after any impact which occurred during cutting check for
possible hedge trimmer wear and tear or damage and have it repaired, if necessary. Before commencing
work with the telescopic hedge trimmer, always make sure that the hand protection shield is attached in the
correct position.

blade scabbard, cutting blade emergency switch) are damaged.
Never use ladder while operating the hedge trimmer. Unplug the power cord:
- before leaving the tool unattended for any period of time,
- before cleaning any material jammed in the cutting blade,
- before any inspection, cleaning or maintenance of the tool,
- after contact of the cutting tool with a foreign object.
Do not operate the tool unless you are certain of its absolutely safe operating condition,
