using exclusively original spare parts. This will
ensure the safe operation of the power tool.

before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into
a switched-on power tool may lead to accidents!

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 be-
tween 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 ad-

Safety instructions for grass- and shrub shear:
• Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting
blades. Do not try to remove cut-off matter with
the tool running. Do not try to hold material to be
cut off with your hand. Remove cut-off matter that
is stuck between the blades only with the tool be-
ing switched off! When working with hedge trimmers
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 transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer. Careful 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 power lines. If the
cutting blade comes into contact with an energised
line, device parts can become energised and cause
an electric shock.
• Before starting work, search the hedge for con-
cealed 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.
