Safetydatasheet

Your hedge trimmer has been developed and produced with the highest levels of reliability, user-convenience and user safety. It maintained carefully, the device will work reliably and fault-free for many years.

6 SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

- Do not use the device in bad weather if there is any risk of a lightning strike.

Electrical safety

• 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
  • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
  • 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
  NOTE The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
  • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

• Do not overload the tool. Use the right power tool for your task. You can work better and more safely within the specified performance range with the right power tool.
• Do not use a power tool with a defective switch. A power tool which can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store all unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not let persons use the device who are unfamiliar with it or who have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced persons.
• Carefully maintain your device. Check that the moving parts work correctly. Make sure that no part of the device is damaged. Check the assembly and all other elements that could affect the operation of the device. If parts are damaged, you must have your device repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges get stuck less often and are easier to use.
• Use power tools, accessories, tool bits, etc. according to their instructions. Consider the working conditions and work to be performed. The use of power tools for purposes other than the intended uses can lead to dangerous situations.

Specific safety provisions for battery-powered devices

• Before inserting the battery, make sure that the switch is either at "Off" or is locked. Inserting a battery into a switched-on device can lead to accidents.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
• connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• 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.
• All safety information regarding the handling, storage, safekeeping, transport, disposal of the lithium-ion battery and first-aid measures and measures for combating fires is contained in the "Product safety datasheet" at www.sabo-online.com under Instructions.

Service

• 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.

7 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Keep body parts away from the blade. Do not remove cuttings or hold objects that you are cutting while the blades are moving. The blades continue to turn after the device is switched off. Make sure that the switch is turned off when you are removing any lodged material. Even a momentary lapse of attention when using the hedge trimmer can result in serious injuries.
• Hold the hedge trimmer by the handle and when the cutting blades are at rest. Always use the blade cover when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Correctly handling the hedge trimmer reduces possible injuries from the cutter.
• Hold the tool only by the insulated parts of the handle because the cutting blade could come into contact with hidden power cables. If the cutter touches or cuts a live cable, metal parts of the power tool can become live and expose the user to an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During use, the cable could become hidden by branches and be accidentally cut by the blade.
  • Use both hands when using the hedge trimmer. Use of the device with only one hand can lead to loss of control and cause serious injuries.
  • DANGER – Keep hands and feet away from blade. Contact with the blade will cause serious injuries.
• WARNING – Use the hedge trimmer only with properly fitted handle and protective cover. Using the hedge trimmer without the handle or the provided protective cover can lead to serious injuries.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

DANGER

Never touch the cutter after cutting into an electrical wire. The cutter may be carrying live current! Hold the device by the insulated read handle only and slowly put the device down. Disconnect the damaged wire from the power supply (pull out the plug, switch off the fuse) and remove it from the cutter. Misuse can lead to serious injuries or death.

WARNING

Check the cutting area before starting work. Remove all objects such as strings, cables or fence parts. These can get in the cutter and cause injuries and damage.

• Do not force the cutting through strong and thick material. The cutting speed can be reduced here. In this case slow the cutting speed.
  • Do not cut branches or twigs with a diameter over 15 mm or any material that is clearly too large for the cutter. Use a different, appropriate tool for this.
• In the event that the cutter jams, stop the motor, remove the battery and release the cutter. You can use a piece of string as a guide to determine and control the cutting height on a hedge. See figure 5 Place the piece of string on the hedge for the length and width and cut your hedge at this height. This way you will enjoy optimal cutting results on your hedge. See figure 6
• Wear safety goggles for thorns or prickly plants. When cutting young shoots, cut with a sweeping motion. Older growth is more solid and can be cut with a normal forwards motion.
