   ENGLISH

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 

accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid 

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation 

or burns.

e) 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged 

or modified. 

Damaged or modified batteries may 

exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, 

explosion or risk of injury.

f) 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire 

or excessive temperature. 

Exposure to fire or 

temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

g) 

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 

the battery pack or tool outside the temperature 

range specified in the instructions. 

Charging 

improperly or at temperatures outside the specified 

range may damage the battery and increase the risk 

of fire.

6)  Service

a) 

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.

Device-specific safety instructions

a)  Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. 

Do not remove cuttings or hold material to be cut 

when blades are moving. The blades continue to 

move after the switch is turned off.  

A moment of 

inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may 

result in serious personal injury.

b) 

Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the 

cutter blade stopped and keeping your fingers 

away from the power switch.  

Carrying the hedge 

trimmer correctly reduces the risk of accidental 

start-up and resulting injuries caused by the blade.

c) 

 Always pull the cover over the blade when 

transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. 

 Proper 

handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible 

personal injury from the cutter blades.

d) 

Make sure that all power switches are turned off 

and the battery pack is removed or disconnected 

when removing any jammed cuttings or 

performing maintenance work. 

Unintentional 

switching on of the hedge trimmer during the 

removal of jammed cuttings or during maintenance 

can result in serious injuries.

e) 

Make sure that all power switches are turned off 

and the switch-on lock is activated when removing 

any jammed cuttings or performing maintenance 

work.  

Unintentional switching on of the hedge 

trimmer during the removal of jammed cuttings or 

during maintenance can result in serious injuries.

f) 

f) Hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated gripping 

surfaces only, because the blade may come into 

contact with hidden electric cables.  

If cutter blades 

come into contact with a „live“ cable, this may 

make exposed metal parts „live“ and could give the 

operator an electric shock.

g) 

Keep any electrical cables away from the cutting area. 

Electrical cables may be hidden in hedges and bushes 

and accidentally cut by the blade.

h) 

Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather, 

especially when there is a risk of lightning.

 This 

reduces the risk of getting struck by lightning
