Important!
When using the equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and dam-
age. Please read the complete operating instructions and safety regulations with due care. Keep
this manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at all times.
If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions and safety
regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a
failure to follow these instructions and the safety instructions.
General safety instructions
Attention! Read all instructions contained here- in. Failure to
observe the following instructions may result in electric shock,
burns and/or severe injury. The term ‘power tool’ used in the
following includes both mains-operated tools (with mains supply)
and battery-operated tools (without mains supply).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
1)Working area
•Keep your working area clean and tidy. Untidy and poorly lit
working areas may lead to accidents.
•Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive environments
containing com- bustible fluids, gases or dusts.Power tools ge-
nerate sparks that may ignite dusts or fumes.
•Keep children and other persons away when you are operating
the power tool. Distractions may result in he operator loosing co-
ntrol over the tool
2)Electrical safety
•The mains plug of the power tool must fit into the mains socket.
The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs/ce earthing.
Unmodified plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk of electric
shock.
•Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as pipes,
heaters, ovens and re- frigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body earthed.

-EN-
-08-
•Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetration of water into a po-
wer tool increases the risk of electric shock
•Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the tool or to pull the
plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil and
sharp edges or moving parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled ca-
bles in- crease the risk of electric shock.
•When operating a power tool outdoors, use exclusively extensi-
on cables that are approved for outdoor-use. The use of an ex-
tension cable that is suitable for out door use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
•Always pay attention to what you do and apply reasonable care
when working with a power tool. Do not use the tool when you
are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol.
When working with power tools even a short moment of inatten-
tiveness may result in severe injury.
•Wear personal protection equipment and always wear eye pro-
tection (safety goggles). Wearing personal protection equipment
as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear pro-
tectors (depending on the type and use of the tool)
reduces the risk of injury.
•Avoid unintentional activation. Ensure that the electrical tool is
switched off be- fore you connect it to the power supply and/or
the battery, pick it up, or carry it. If you have your finger on the
switch while carrying the electrical tool or connect the device to
the power supply with the switch activate, then this may cause
accidents.
•Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure thatthe switch is in
‘OFF’ position before pulling the plug from the mains socket.
When carrying the tool with your finger on the on/off switch or
connecting the tool to the mains supply with the switch in ‘ON’
position, this may result in accidents.
•Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the like before you
switch the tool on. A wrench or another tool that is inside or on a
turning part of the tool may cause injury.
•Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care of a safe footing
and keep your balance at all times. This will allow you to better
control the tool in unexpected situations.

-EN-
-09-
•Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothes and gloves clear of all moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving
parts.
•If dust extraction/collection devices are provided make sure that
they are connected and used properly. The use of these devices
reduces hazards caused by dust.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools
•Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power tool intended for
your type of work in each case. The use of the suitable power
tool within the stated range of performance makes working more
effective and safer.
•Do not use a power tool with a dam- aged switch. A power tool
that cannot be switched on or off any more is dangerous and mu-
st be repaired.
•Pull out the plug connector from the socket and/or remove the
battery before you change the device settings, change accessor-
ies, or put away the device. These care instructions prevent the
device from starting unintentionally.
•Store power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow per-
sons to use the tool if they are not familiar with the tool or these
instructions. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced
persons.
•Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check whether moving pa-
rts are working properly and are not jamming/sticking, and wheth-
er parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a way that affects
the function of the tool. Have damaged parts repaired before us-
ing the tool. Many accidents are the result of poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly looked after cutt-
ing tools with sharp cutting edges are jammingless often and are
easier to guide.Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc.
in accordance with these in structions and in the way prescribed
for the respective type of tool. You should also consider the work-
ing conditions and the work to be carried out. The useof power
tools for purposes other than those intended for the respective
tool may result in dangerous situations.

5)Appropriate handling and use of battery operated
power tools
•Make sure that the device has been switched off before insert-
ing the battery. Inserting a battery into a switched on power tool
may lead to accidents!
•Only use charging devices recommended by the manufacturer
to charge the batteries. Charging units are usually designed for
certain types of batteries;
if used with other types there is a risk of fire!
•Only use batteries designed for your power tool.
The use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk of fire!
Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins, keys, nails, sc-
ews or other small metal objects that may bridge the contacts. A
short circuit between the battery contacts may lead to burns or fire!
•Improper use may result in fluid leaking out of the battery.
Avoid any contact with battery fluid. Flush with water in case of
contact. If battery fluid should get into your eyes seek medical ad-
vice additionally. Leaking battery fluid may lead to irritations of the
skin or burns!
6)Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified technical personnel
only; repairs should be carried out using exclusively original spa-
re parts. This will ensure the safe operation of the power tool.
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
being switched off! When working with hedge trimmers even a
short moment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
