Okay HS 6521, Operating Instructions Manual

GB-3

and always wear eye protection (safety 

goggles).

Wearing personal protection 

equipment as a dust mask, nonslip safety 

shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors (de-

pending on the type and use of the tool) 

reduces the risk of injury.

c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make 

sure that the switch is in ‘OFF’ position 

before pulling the plug from the mains 

socket.

When carrying the tool with your 

finger on the on/off switch or connecting the 

tool to the mains supply with the switch in 

‘ON’ position, this may result in accidents.

d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches 

and the like before you switch the tool 

on.

A wrench or another tool that is inside 

or on a turning part of the tool may cause 

injury.

e) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take 

care of a safe footing and keep your bal-

ance at all times.

This will allow you to bet-

ter control the tool in unexpected situations.

f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide 

clothing  or  jewellery.  Keep  your  hair, 

clothes and gloves clear of all moving 

parts. 

Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair 

may get caught in moving parts.

g) If dust extraction/collection devices are 

provided make sure that they are con-

nected and used properly.

The use of 

these devices reduces hazards caused by 

dust.

4) Careful handling and use of power tools

a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the 

power tool intended for your type of 

work in each case.

The use of the suit-

able power tool within the stated range of 

performance makes working more effective 

and safer.

b) Do not use a power tool with a dam-

aged switch.

A power tool that cannot be 

switched on or off any more is dangerous 

and must be repaired.

c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket be-

fore you adjust a tool, change accesso

-

ries or put the tool aside.

This precaution 

avoids the unintentional start of the tool.

d) Store power tools out of the reach of 

children. Do not allow persons to use 

the tool if they are not familiar with the 

tool or these instructions. 

Power tools 

are dangerous if used by inexperienced 

persons.

e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool. 

Check whether moving parts are work-

ing properly and are not jamming/stick-

ing, and whether parts are broken or oth

-

erwise damaged in a way that affects the 

function of the tool. Have damaged parts 

repaired before using the tool.

Many ac-

cidents are the result of poorly maintained 

power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Thoroughly looked-after cutting tools with 

sharp cutting edges are jamming less often 

and are easier to guide.

g) 

Use  power  tools,  accessories,  add-on 

tools, etc. in accordance with these in

-

structions and in the way prescribed for 

the respective type of tool.  You should 

also consider the working conditions 

and the work to be carried out.

The use of 

power tools for purposes other than those 

intended for the respective tool may result 

in dangerous situations.

5) Service

a) Have the power tool serviced by quali-

fied  technical  personnel  only;  repairs 

should be carried out using exclusively 

original spare parts.

This will ensure the 

safe operation of the power tool.

Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:

- 

Keep all parts of your body away from the 

cutting blades. Do not try to remove cut-off 

matter with the tool running. Do not try to 

hold material to be cut off with your hand. 

Remove  cut-off  matter  that  is  stuck  be

-

tween the blades only with the tool being 

switched off!

When working with hedge trim-

mers even a short moment of inattentiveness 

may result in severe injury.

- 

Hold the power tool by its insulated han-

dling surfaces as the cutting blades might 

get in touch with the tool’s own power 

cable. 

If the cutting blades should acciden-

tally cut into a live power cable this might turn 

metal parts of the tool ‘hot’ thereby causing an 

electric shock.

- 

Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with 

the cutting blades standing still. Always 

put on the protection cover when trans-

porting or storing the hedge trimmer.
