ÂConsequences of non-observation ¾ Measure for preventing the danger Workplace safety ¾ Keep your work area clean and well lit. Messy and poorly lit work areas can lead to accidents. ¾ Do not use the power tool in an explosive environment, where there are inammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical power tools may create sparks, which could ignite the dust or vapours. ¾ Keep children and other persons away from the power tool during use. You can lose control of the device when distracted. Electrical safety ¾ Pull the mains plug immediately if the cable is damaged or severed. ¾ The connector plug of the power tool must t inside the socket. Under no circumstances may the plug be modied. Do not use any adapter plugs together with grounded power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock. ¾ Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as of pipes, heaters, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock when your body is earthed. ¾ Keep power tools away from rain and water. The ingress of water into an electric power tool increases the risk of an electric shock. ¾ Do not misuse the cable by using it to carry or hang up the power tool or to pull the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving device components. Damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of an electric shock. ¾ Only charge Wolf-Garten power packs. The power pack voltage must match the power pack charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise there is a risk of re and explosion. ¾ Keep the device clean. Dirt increases the risk of an electric shock. Personal safety ¾ The device may not be used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and / or knowledge, even if they are supervised or have received instructions about the safe handling of the device and understand the associated dangers. ¾ Children are not allowed to play with the mower. ¾ Cleaning and servicing may not be carried out by children. ¾ Do not use the device with defective or detached safety equipment.Safety information

Safety information ¾ Pay attention, be aware of what you are doing and go about your work with the electric power tool prudently. Do not use any power tools if you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattentiveness when using the power tool may lead to serious injury. ¾ Wear personal protective equipment and always wear protective goggles. The wearing of personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes or hearing protection reduces the risk of injury depending on the type and use of the power tool. ¾ Remove any adjustment tools or spanners before switching the power tool on. A tool or spanner located in a turning device component may lead to injuries. ¾ Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are standing securely and that you maintain your balance at all times. This will ensure that you can maintain better control of the power tool if unexpected situations occur. ¾ Do not run, rather walk forwards at a steady pace. ¾ Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose hair, clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught be moving parts. ¾ Always wait until the cutting tool comes to a standstill. ¾ Under the following circumstances, switch the device o󰀨 and remove the power pack. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill: - Before you leave the device. - Before you release a block. - Before you conduct cleaning, maintenance and tuning tasks. - Before you check the device for damage; e.g. after a foreign object has been encountered. Use and handling of the power tool ¾ Do not overload the device. Use the electric power tool designed for your work. Your work is performed better and safer with the appropriate power tool in the specied power range. ¾ Do not use a power tool with a defective switch. An electric power tool which can no longer be switched on or o󰀨 is dangerous and must be repaired. ¾ Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not let people use the device who are unfamiliar with it or who have not read these instructions. Electric power tools are dangerous when used by inexperienced persons. ¾ Treat power tools with care. Check that moving parts work seamlessly and do not jam; whether parts are so damaged that the function of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired prior to using the device. Many accidents originate from poorly maintained electric power tools. ¾ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting tools with sharp cutting edges which are treated with care become stuck less frequently and are easier to run. ¾ Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take the work conditions and the activity to be performed into consideration. The use of electric power tools for applications other than those intended may lead to hazardous situations. ¾ Pull the power plug from the mains immediately if the cable is damaged or severed. ¾Only have your tool repaired by qualified specialist personnel and with original spare parts. This ensures that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Use and handling of the battery tool ¾ Only charge the battery with the charger recommended by the manufacturer. ¾ Fluid can leak from the battery if misused. Avoid contact with battery uid. Rinse o󰀨 with water in the case of accidental contact. Also seek medical attention if uid gets inside the eyes. Leaking battery uid may lead to skin irritation and burns. ¾ The device must neither be opened nor the battery removed. Risk of injuries and re! Device-specific safety instructions for hedge trimmers ¾ Keep all body parts away from the cutting blade. Do not attempt to remove grass cuttings or hold material to be cut with the blade running. Only remove jammed grass cuttings with the device switched o󰀨. One moment of inattentiveness when using the battery-operated shears can lead to serious injury.Safety information

¾ Hold the hedge trimmer at the handle with the blade at a standstill. Always put on the protective cover when transporting or storing away the hedge trimmer. Careful handling of the device reduces the risk of injury from the blade. ¾ Only hold the power tool at the insulated handles, because the cutting blade may come into contact with hidden power cables. Cutting blade contact with a live cable may pass voltage onto metallic device components and lead to electric shock. ¾ Keep the cable away from the cutting area. During the work process, the cable may become hidden in shrubbery and accidentally severed. ¾ Look for hidden objects in hedges, such as wire fencing, before commencing work. This way you can avoid a collision. ¾ Using a residual current device (RCD) with a triggering current of 30 mA or less is recommended. ¾ Hold the hedge trimmer securely and rmly in your hand. Only hold the hedge trimmer by the handle while working. General safety notes for lawn, contour and shrub shears ¾ Use the hedge trimmer in the domestic environment for which it is intended to look after bushes, hedges, shrubbery and grass. ¾ Do not use the battery-operated shears for shredding for the purpose of composting due to the physical risks posed to the user. ¾ The battery-operated shears should not be used in public facilities, parks, sports grounds, on roads, etc., nor in agriculture or forestry. ¾ Select the working height so that the blade does not come into contact with the ground. ¾ Only switch the device on if the hands and feet are at a su󰀩cient distance from the cutting blades. ¾ Also note that there is always a risk of injury during activation even with discharged devices due to residual charge. ¾ Minors under the age of 16 are not allowed to use the devices. ¾ This device must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or with inadequate experience and knowledge.

General information about the power pack: To obtain a long power pack service life, the follow- ing points should be heeded:

• Low power pack voltage reduces the stroke rate of the shears. The power pack must be charged in such cases.

• The lithium-ion power pack must be charged up prior to extended periods of non-use; e.g. prior to storage.

• Charging time: approx. 4 hours.

• The lithium-ion power pack can be charged in any charge state and charging can be inter- rupted at any time without damaging the power pack (no memory e󰀨ect).

• To prevent self-draining of the power pack, pull the plug of the charger from the battery-oper- ated shears, as long as the charger is discon- nected from the mains. Tips for form-cutting ornamental shrubs (Fig. I J
