RESIDUAL RISKS Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool, some residual risks will remain. Due to its construction and build, this electric tool may present the following hazards: a) Cuts b) Ear damage if working without ear pro- tection.

Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands and arms when operating the appliance for longer periods of time or if the unit is not held or maintained properly. General safety instructions for power tools WARNING! Read all safety directions and instructions. Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, re and/or severe injuries. Retain all safety directions and in- structions for future use. The term “Power Tools” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and to battery-op- erated power tools (without power cord).

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac- cidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable Iiquids, 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. Unmodi- ed 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 from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense27 IEGB when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inu- ence of drugs, alcohol or medi- cation. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equip- ment. Always wear eye protec- tion. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce per

sonal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-po

sition before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the pow

er tool on. A wrench or a key left at- tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If dust extraction and collection devices can be installed, make sure that these are connected and used correctly. Using a dust collector can reduce hazards caused by dust.

4) Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the bat- tery pack from the power tool before making any adjust -ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre- ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaIly. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instruc- tions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power 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 Iikely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak- ing into account the working28

conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person us- ing only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional safety instructions a) If possible, connect the device only to a socket with a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. b) If replacement of the connecting ca- ble becomes necessary, this is to be carried out by the manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid safety risks. c) Hold the electric tool only by the in- sulated gripping surfaces, as the saw chain may come into contact with con- cealed power lines. Contact with a live wire can also cause a charge in metal parts of the appliance and result in an electric shock. d) Carefully inspect the surface to be cut, and remove all wires and other foreign bodies. e) Check the appliance before each use for obvious defects such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Check the appliance for signicant damage or defects if it is dropped. f) Keep the cable away from the cutting area. The cable may be covered by vegetation during work and acciden- tally be severed. g) Keep all body parts away from the blade. Do not attempt to re- move clippings or to hold onto material to be cut when the blade is running. Only remove jammed trimmings when the device is shut off. Remove the plug from the mains socket. A moment of inattention when using the trimmer can result in serious injuries. Hedge trimmer safety warnings IMPORTANT

2. The tubular shank can now optionally

be turned 45° / 90° to the right or the left (see the scale on the device). Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a branch clippers.

• The double-sided cutter bar enables cutting in both directions or, with a swinging action, from one side to the other.

• In case of vertical cutting, move the hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up and down in an arc movement.

• In case of horizontal cutting, move the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped movement to the edge of the hedge, so that cut branches fall to the ground.

• In order to achieve long straight lines, the placing of tensioned guiding cords is recommended. Cutting Shaped Hedges: It is recommended that hedges be cut in a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent stripping off of the lower branches. This cor- responds to the natural plant growth and allows the hedge to thrive optimally. During cutting, only the new annual growths are reduced and thus a dense branching and a good screen will develop.

1. Cut the sides of a hedge rst. To do

this, move the hedge trimmer in the direction of growth from bottom to top. If you cut down from the top, the thin- ner branches will move out, which may result in some areas having sparse growth or holes.

2. Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a

at shape, roof shape or rounded shape

3. Trim young plants to the required

shape. The main growth should re- main undamaged until the hedge has reached the planned height. All other shoots are lopped off to half size. Care of Free-Growing Hedges: Free-growing hedges are not shaped when cut, although they must be regularly maintained so the hedge does not become too high. Working Safely Please also observe the illustrations on page 4 on how to use the hedge trimmer.

• Do not use the high pruning saw when standing on a ladder or in an unsafe position.

• Do not be tempted to make unconsid- ered cuts. Doing so may endanger both yourself and others.

• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment.33 IEGB

• Long use of the equipment can result in vibration-related circulatory disorders in the hands. However, the length of use can be extended by using suitable gloves or taking regular breaks. Note that a personal tendency for poor cir- culation, low outdoor temperatures, or high gripping forces during work will reduce the length of use. Maintenance/ Cleaning Repair and servicing work not described in this manual should always be carried by our Service Centre. Use only original parts. Pull out the power plug before carry- ing out any work on the equipment. Wear gloves while handling the blades. Carry out the following maintenance and cleaning work regularly. This will guaran- tee a long and reliable service life.

• Before each use, check the hedge trim- mer for obvious defects such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Check the se- cure seating of the bolts in the cutter bar.

• Do not use the unit if the blades are blunt or worn. This will overstress the motor and gearbox of the machine.

• Check coverings and safety devices for damage and correct seating. Re- place these where necessary.

• Keep the ventilation slots and motor housing of the device clean. Use a damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do not wash down the equipment with water, or submerge it in water.

• Do not use any cleaning agents or sol- vents. These could cause irreparable damage to the equipment. Chemical substances can attack the plastic parts of the equipment.

• Clean the cutter bar carefully after each use. Wipe it off with an oily cloth or spray it with a metal protective spray.

• Keep the hedge trim- mer dry and covered with the blade protection supplied and out of reach of children.
