■ Onlyusetheapplianceunderthefollowing
conditions:
■The appliance is not dirty, especially not
with petrol and oil.
■The appliance show no signs of dama-
ge, especially the protective grille.
■All controls function properly.
■All accessory parts intended for the res-
pective operating mode are fitted on the
appliance.
■ Donotoverloadthemachine.Itisintended
for light work in the private sphere. Overload
can lead to damage to the appliance.
■ Donotvacuumupanybranches,piecesof
glass, sharp objects, pieces of metal, stones
or other objects. They will damage the shred-
ding blade and the rotor.
■ Neverblockthevacuumandventilationgrille
during operation in order to avoid any over-
heating of the motor.
■ Immediatelyswitchofftheapplianceifthe
motor begins to vibrate abnormally or
strongly. There is an appliance fault in this
case.
■ Neveroperatetheappliancewithwornorde-
fective parts. Always replace defective parts
with original spare parts from the manufactu-
rer. If the appliance is operated with worn or
defective parts, guarantee claims against the
manufacturer are excluded.
3.2 Vibration load
■ Dangerduetovibration
The actual magnitude of the vibration emissi-
ons during the use of the appliance may devi-
ate from that stated by the manufacturer. Ob-
serve the following influencing factors before
or during use:
■Is the appliance being used as inten-
ded?
■Is the material being cut or processed
in the proper manner?
■Is the appliance in a proper condition of
use?
■Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or
is the correct cutting tool installed?
■Are the handle grips and any optional
vibration grips mounted, and are they
firmly attached to the appliance?
■ Onlyoperatethetoolatthemotorspeedre-
quired for the respective work. Avoid using
the maximum speed in order to reduce noise
and vibrations.
■ Thenoiseandvibrationsofthetoolmayin-
crease due to improper use and maintenan-
ce. This leads to health damage. In this case,
immediately switch off the tool and have it re-
paired by an authorised service workshop.
■ Thedegreeofstressduetovibrationde-
pends on the work to be performed or on the
use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This considerably
reduces stress due to vibration over the enti-
re working time.
■ Extensiveuseofthetoolexposestheopera-
tor to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory
issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk,
wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If
any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, im-
mediately consult a physician. These symp-
toms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, ting-
ling, itching, pain, reduced muscular strength,
changes in the colour or condition of the skin.
Normally these conditions affect the fingers,
hands or pulse. The risk increases at low
temperatures.
■ Takelongbreaksduringyourworkingdayso
you can recover from the noise and the vibra-
tions. Plan your work in such a way that the
use of appliances that generate strong vibra-
tions is spread over several days.

9
■ Ifyounoticeanunpleasantsensationordis-
colouration of the skin on your hands when
using the tool, stop work immediately. Take
sufficient work breaks. Without sufficient bre-
aks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome can oc-
cur.
■ Minimiseyourriskofbeingexposedtovibra-
tions. Maintain the tool according to the inst-
ructions in the operating instructions.
■ Ifthetoolisusedfrequently,contactyourde-
aler to purchase anti-vibration accessories
(e.g. handles).
■ Avoidworkingwiththetoolattemperatures
below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load
can be limited in a work plan.
3.3 Safety information regarding the
rechargeable battery
This section mentions all the basic safety instruc-
tions to be heeded when using the rechargeable
battery. Read these instructions.
■ Removetherechargeablebatteryfromthe
power tool before starting any work on the
power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change),
before transport and before storage.
■ Onlyusetherechargeablebatteryasdesig-
nated, i.e. for Masport rechargeable bat-
tery-driven appliances. Only charge the
rechargeable battery with the Masport char-
ging unit.
■ Onlyunpackthenewrechargeablebattery
from the original packaging when it is to be
used.
■ Fullychargetherechargeablebatterybefore
using it for the first time and always use the
specified charging unit. Comply with the de-
tails given in these instructions for use for
charging the rechargeable battery.
■ Donotusetherechargeablebatteryinen-
vironments where there is a potential risk of
explosion and/or fire.
■ Donotexposetherechargeablebatteryto
moisture and humidity when in use with the
appliance.
■ Protecttherechargeablebatteryfromheat,
oil and fire to prevent it being damaged so no
vapours and electrolyte liquids can escape.
There is a danger of explosion!
■ Donotsubjecttherechargeablebatteryto
impacts or throw it.
■ Donotusetherechargeablebatterywhen

rechargeable battery with a dry, clean cloth.
■ Whenthebatterypackisnotinuse,keepit
away from other metal objects to prevent
bridging the contacts (e.g. paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws). Do not use sharp ob-
jects (e.g. a screwdriver) to work on the bat-
tery. This can cause an internal short circuit
which can lead to overheating, fire or explosi-
on of the battery.
■ Donotopen,dismantleorcrushtherechar-
geable battery. There is a danger of electric
shock and short-circuit.
■ Animproperlyusedanddamagedrecharge-
able battery can cause vapours and electroly-
te liquid to escape. Vent the room adequately
and in the case of any disorders, consult a
doctor.
If accidental contact with electrolyte liquid oc-
curs, flush with water and thoroughly rinse
the eyes immediately. Then consult a doctor.
■ Thisrechargeablebatterymustnotbeused
by unauthorised persons unless they are su-
pervised by a person responsible for their sa-
fety or have been instructed on how to use
the rechargeable battery. Unauthorised per-
sons include, for example:
■Persons (including children) with limited
physical, sensory or mental aptitude.
■Persons who have no experience and/
or knowledge of the rechargeable bat-
tery.
■ Childrenmustbesupervisedandinstructed
so they do not play with the rechargeable
battery.
■ Donotleavetherechargeablebatteryperma-
nently in the charger. For prolonged storage,
remove the rechargeable battery from the
charger.
■ Whennotinuse,removetherechargeable
batteries from the operated appliances.
■ Drytheunusedrechargeablebatteryandsto-
re in a closed place. Protect from heat and di-
rect sunlight. Unauthorised persons and chil-
dren must not have access to the recharge-
able battery.
