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 devices are provided for 
connection of dust extraction 
and -collection facilities, ensure 
these are connected and properly 
used. Use of dust collection can 
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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 battery 
pack 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.
d) Store idle power tools out of the 
reach of children and do not 
allow persons unfamiliar with the 
power tool or these instructions 
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 attachments sharp 
and clean. Properly maintained 
cutting attachments with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to bind 
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, 
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.
5) Service
a) Have your electric power tool 
serviced by a qualified repair 
person using only original 
replacement parts. This will 
ensure that the safety of the power 
tool is maintained.
Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings
– Keep all parts of the body away 
from the cutter blade. Do not 
remove cut material or hold 
material to be cut when blades 
are moving. Make sure the switch 
is off when clearing jammed 
material. A moment of inattention 
while operating the hedge trimmer 
may result in serious personal 
injury.
– Carry the hedge trimmer by the 
handle with the cutter blade 
stopped. When transporting or 
storing the hedge trimmer always 
fit the cutting device cover. 
Proper handling of the hedge 
trimmer will reduce possible 
personal injury from the cutter 
blades.
– Always hold your electric power 
tool by the insulated handles 
because the cutting blades may 
contact hidden electrical wires or 
your own power cord.   Any blade 
contact with a live wire may 
energize metallic parts of the power 
tool and result in an electric shock.
– Keep the power cord away from 
cutting area. During operation the 
power cord may be hidden in shrubs 
and can be accidentally severed by 
the blade.
