Hints for your work with the tool The shrub trimmer cuts ornamental shrubs and light undergrowth or bushes. The device is also well-suited for ornamental cuts as, for example, for the care of graves. The battery-powered grass and shrub shear can not and should not replace your hedge shears. They are exclusively designed to trim and cut back ornamental shrubs and brush- wood with a low wood thickness. Any other use is not deemed appropriate and the manufacturer/ supplier is not liable for damages resulting from such use. Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equiv- alent purposes. Important! It is prohibited to use the tool to chop material for composting because of the potential danger to per- sons and property. The grass shears allow for clean cuts of lawn edges or hardly accessible lawn areas. Each type of use other than those given in these in- structions for use can damage the machine and cause serious risk to the user. Please always observe the safety instructions in order to safeguard your guarantee claim and in the interests of product safety. Due to the machine’s design, we are unable to fully exclude all residual risks. Residual dangers Residual risks always remain even if the hedge trimmer is used properly. The hedge trimmer‘s design can entail the following hazards:

• Contact can be made with the unprotected blade (re- sulting in cutting injuries)

• Reaching into or grabbing the hedge trimmer while it is in operation (resulting in cutting injuries)

• Unanticipated, sudden movement of the plant material being cut (resulting in cutting injuries)

• Ejection or catapulting of damaged cutting teeth

• Ejection or catapulting of the plant material being cut

• Hearing damage if the specied hearing protection is not worn

• Inhalation of cut materials Important! When using the equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and damage. Please read the complete operating instructions and safety reg- ulations with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these op- erating instructions and safety regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety instructions. General safety instructions Attention! Read all instructions contained here- in. Failure to observe the following instructions may result in electric shock, burns and/or se- vere injury. The term ‘power tool’ used in the following includes both mains-operated tools (with mains supply) and battery-operated tools (without mains supply). KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

Keep your working area clean and tidy. Untidy and poorly lit working areas may lead to accidents.

Do not operate the tool in potentially ex- plosive environments containing com- bustible uids, gases or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that may ignite dusts or fumes.

Keep children and other persons away when you are operating the power tool. Distractions may result in the operator loos- ing control over the tool.

The mains plug of the power tool must t into the mains socket. The plug must not be modied in any way. Do not use adapter plugs/connectors in combina- tion with tools with protective earthing. Unmodied plugs and tting sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

Avoid physical contact with earthed sur- faces as pipes, heaters, ovens and re- frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body earthed.

Keep the tool out of the rain. The pene- tration of water into a power tool increases the risk of electric shock. GB-3GB | Operating Instruction

Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the tool or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled cables in- crease the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use exclusively extension cables that are approved for outdoor-use. The use of an extension cable that is suitable for out- door use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Always pay attention to what you do and apply reasonable care when working with a power tool. Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the inu- ence of medication, drugs or alcohol. When working with power tools even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.

Wear personal protection equipment and always wear eye protection (safe- ty goggles). Wearing personal protection equipment as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors (depending on the type and use of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.

Avoid unintentional activation. Ensure that the electrical tool is switched o󰀨 be- fore you connect it to the power supply and/or the battery, pick it up, or carry it. If you have your nger on the switch while carrying the electrical tool or connect the device to the power supply with the switch activate, then this may cause accidents.

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 nger on the on/o switch or connecting the tool to the mains supply with the switch in ‘ON’ position, this may result in accidents.

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.

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.

Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide clo-thing 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.

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.

Careful handling and use of power tools

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 eective and safer.

Do not use a power tool with a dam- aged switch. A power tool that cannot be switched on or o any more is dangerous and must be repaired.

Pull out the plug connector from the socket and/or remove the battery before you change the device settings, change accessories, or put away the device. These care instructions prevent the device from starting unintentionally.

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 dan- gerous if used by inexperienced persons.

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 otherwise damaged in a way that a󰀨ects the function of the tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the tool. Many accidents are the result of poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly looked-after cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are jamming less often and are easier to guide.

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 GB-4GB | Operating Instruction 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) Appropriate handling and use of bat-

tery-operated power tools a) Make sure that the device has been switched o󰀨 before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into a switched-on power tool may lead to accidents! b) Only use charging devices recommend- ed by the manufacturer to charge the batteries. Charging units are usually de- signed for certain types of batteries; if used with other types there is a risk of re! c) Only use batteries designed for your power tool. The use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk of re! d) Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that may bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may lead to burns or re! e) Improper use may result in uid leaking out of the battery. Avoid any contact with battery uid. Flush with water in case of contact. If battery uid should get into your eyes seek medical advice additionally. Leaking battery uid may lead to irritations of the skin or burns!

Have the power tool serviced by qual- ied 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 grass- and shrub shear:

Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting blades. Do not try to remove cut-o󰀨 matter with the tool running. Do not try to hold material to be cut o󰀨 with your hand. Remove cut-o󰀨 matter that is stuck be- tween the blades only with the tool being switched o󰀨! When working with hedge trim- mers even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.

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. Care- ful handling reduces the risk of injury through the cutting blades. - Only hold the power tool on the insulated handle surfaces, because the cutting blade can come into contact with concealed pow- er lines. If the cutting blade comes into contact with an energised line, device parts can be- come energised and cause an electric shock. - Before starting work, search the hedge for concealed objects, e.g. wire, etc. Pay careful attention to ensure that the cutting tool does not come into contact with wire or other metal objects. - Hold the power tool properly, e.g. with both hands on the handles, if two handles are present. Losing control of the device can result in injuries. Grass shears safety warning
