5. General safety information

⚠ WARNING - Read all safety information, instructions, illustrations and technical data for this electric 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” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without a mains cable).

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not work with the electric tool in an explosive environment where flammable liquids, gases or dusts may be located. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and other people away while using the electric tool. Distractions may cause you to lose control of the device.

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. Unmodified 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 use the cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the power tool or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

e. If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.

f. If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in a wet environment, use a fault-current circuit breaker. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. 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 carelessness when using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. 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. Keeping your finger on the switch or having the device switched on when you connect it to the power supply may result in accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating device part may result in injuries.

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 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 mounted, make sure that they are connected and used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and do not ignore the safety rules for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times. Careless actions can lead to serious injuries within fractions of a second.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not overload the device. 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. Remove the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before setting the device, changing accessories or putting the device away. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and Do not let people use the device if they are not familiar with it or if they have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain the electric tool with care. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. Have damaged parts repaired before using the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f. Always keep your cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

h. Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces do not allow safe operation and control of the power tool in unforeseen situations.

5. Service

a. 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.

Safety instructions for hedge trimmers

- Keep all body parts away from the cutting blade. Do not attempt to remove cuttings or hold material to be cut while the blade is running. Remove trapped cuttings only when the device is switched off. A moment of carelessness when using the hedge trimmer can result in serious injury.

- Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade stationary. Always put the protective cover on when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Careful handling of the device reduces the risk of injury from the blade.

- Hold the electric tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutting blade can come into contact with its own mains cable. If the cutting blade comes into contact with an energised line, device parts can become energised and cause an electric shock.

- Keep the cable away from the cutting area. During operation, the cable may be covered by bushes and accidentally cut.

• Always pull the cover over the blades when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer reduces the risk of injury from the blade.

- Make sure that all switches are switched off and the mains plug is disconnected before removing trapped cuttings or remove trapped clippings or service the machine. Unexpected operation of the unexpected operation of the hedge trimmer when removing trapped material can cause serious injury.

- Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather, especially when there is a risk of danger of thunderstorms. This reduces the risk of being struck by lightning.
