Safety advice

Meaning of symbols General safety instructions for electric

tools

1

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and

instructions.

If the safety instructions are not strictly

adhered to, there is a risk of serious injury,

electric shock or damage by fire.

• Keep the safety instructions for future

reference.

• The term "electric tool" used in the safety

instructions refers to both mains-powered electric

tools (with mains cable) and battery-operated tools

(without mains cable).

Workplace safety

•

Keep the working area tidy and ensure that it is

properly illuminated.

Working in cluttered or

poorly lit areas can lead to accidents.

•

Do not use the electric tool in explosive

atmospheres containing flammable liquids,

gases or dusts.

Electric tools might generate

sparks that can ignite dust or vapors.

•

Keep electric tools away from children and do

not operate them when other persons are

standing near you.

When distracted, you might

lose control over the tool.

Please read the instructions carefully and

familiarize yourself with the different con-

trol elements and how to operate the de-

vice properly. Attention! When using power

tools it is important to observe the following

safety advice in order to protect yourself

against electrical shock. The operator is re-

sponsible for accidents involving other per-

sons and/or their property.

Never let children or other persons who

have not read these instructions use the

device. Persons younger than 16 must

not use the device. Local regulations may

determine the minimum age for users.

Use eye and ear protection!

Wear protective gloves!

Unplug the connection cable imme-

diately if it has been damaged or

cut!

Do not expose to rain!

Electric safety

•

The power plug of the electric tool must fit

properly into the mains socket. Do not modify

the plug in any way. Do not use adapters to

connect earthed electrical tools.

Unmodified

plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of

electric shock.

•

Protect all electric tools against rain and

dampness.

There is an increased risk of electric

shock, if water enters the electric tool.

•

Do not carry or suspend the tool by the power

cable and do not pull the cable to disconnect

the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away

from heat sources, oil, sharp edges and moving

tool parts.

Damaged or entangled cables increase

the risk of electric shock.

•

When using the electric tool outdoors, use only

extension leads that are designed for outdoor

use.

The use of extension leads designed for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

•

If it is not possible to avoid using the electric

tool in a wet environment, use a fault current

circuit breaker.

The use of a fault current circuit

breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

•

When working with the electric tool, ensure that

your full attention is on the task in hand, do not

let yourself be distracted and apply common

sense. Do not use the electric tool when you are

tired, or when you are under the influence of

drugs alcohol or medication.

Even brief moments

of inattention can lead to serious injury.

•

Wear personal protective equipment and

protective goggles.

Wearing personal protective

equipment such as dust mask, safety footwear,

hard hat and hearing protection reduces the risk of

injury. Whether this equipment is necessary

depends on the type of the electric tool.

•

Avoid inadvertent start-up of the electric tool.

Ensure that the electric tool is switched off

before carrying it or disconnecting/connecting

it to the power supply (mains or battery).

When

carrying the electric tool, do not place your finger on

the switch and do not connect it to the power source

while it is switched on, as this could cause injury.

•

Before switching on the electric tool, remove all

adjusting tools such as spanners, etc.

Tools or

spanners left on a rotating part can cause injury.

•

Avoid unnatural postures. Ensure that you are

standing on firm ground and avoid a posture

where you could lose your balance.

This ensures

that you will be able to control the electric tool even

in unexpected situations.

•

Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose

clothing and jewelry and long hear can be caught in

moving parts.

Proper use of electric tools

•

Do not exceed the maximum load of the tool.

Use the tool only for the intended purpose.

To

ensure safe and efficient working, operate the

electric tool only within the specified power range.

•

Do not use electric tools whose switches are

defective.

Electric tools that cannot be properly

switched on or off are dangerous and must be

repaired without delay.

•

Before adjusting the tool, changing accessory

parts or putting the tool away for storage,

disconnect the power plug from the socket or

remove the battery.

This safety measure reduces

the risk of inadvertent tool start.

•

Store the electric tool outside the reach of

children. Do not allow persons who have not

read these instructions to operate the tool.

When operated by inexperienced persons, electric

tools can be very dangerous.

•

Handle the electric tool with care and service it

regularly. Ensure that all moving parts can work

properly and are not jammed and regularly

inspect the tool for defective or damaged parts

that might impair its function. Have damaged

parts repaired before you start the tool.

Many

accidents are caused by insufficiently maintained

electric tool.

•

Keep the cutting parts sharp and clean.

Carefully

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

will rarely get jammed and are easier to operate.

•

When using the electric tool, the accessories

and replacement parts, strictly adhere to the in-

structions in this manual. Take into account the

actual working conditions and the task in hand.

The use of electric tools for purposes other than the

intended can lead to dangerous situations.

Service

•

If the electric tool needs to be repaired, have the

repair carried out by specialist personnel and

instruct them to use only original spare parts.

This ensures the operational safety of the electric

tool.

Tool-specific safety instructions for

hedge shears

•

Keep all body parts away from the cutting blade.

Never attempt to remove any cuttings or hold

material to be cut while the blade is still running.

Do not remove cuttings that have become stuck

unless the tool is switched off.

A moment of

carelessness while using the shears may cause

serious injury.

•

Only carry the hedge shear by its handle and if

the blade is standing still. Always slip on the

protective cover when transporting or storing

the shears.

Handling the tool carefully reduces the

risk of injury caused by the blade.

•

Keep the cable away from the cutting range.

While working, you may inadvertently cut the cable

as it may be hidden by the shrubbery.

•

The machine is designed exclusively for cutting

hedges.

Use for purposes other than those inten-

ded qualify as improper use. The manufactu-

rer/supplier is not responsible for any damages that

result from improper use. The operator is solely re-

sponsible for assuming all risks.

• Never attempt to use a machine that is not fully as-

sembled or one that has been altered in a manner

that is not permitted.

• Work at a height where you do not run the risk of the

blade coming into contact with the ground.

• If the blade becomes jammed by thick branches, for

example, the hedge shears must be shut off:

– Pull out the power plug.

– Do not touch running blades.

– Remove the cause of the blockage.

Cables

1

Attention! Electric shock through cable da-

mage

When the cable is cut through or damaged,

the safety fuse doesn’t always trip.

• Do not touch cable, before pulling out the

power plug from the socket.

• Damaged cable has to be completely re-

placed. Patching the cable with insulating

tape is forbidden.

• Use only extension cables with a minimum cross-

section of 3 x 1.5 mm

2

and a length of max. 25 m:

– When using rubber-sheathed cables, they must

be of type HO 7 RN-F or heavier.

– When using PVC-sheathed cables, they must be

of type HO5 VV-F or heavier (cables of this type

are not suitable for continuous outdoor use - e.g.

underground installation for the connection of an

outdoor socket or pond pump, or outdoor sto-

rage).

• Plugs and couplings must be protected from spla-

shes.

• Use a residual current protection device (RCD) with

a residual current not exceeding 30 mA.

• Fit the connection cable to the mains lead cleat. Do

not allow to rub against edges or against sharp or

pointed objects. Do not squeeze cables through

tight door or window openings. Switch devices must

not be removed or circumvented (e.g. connecting

the switch lever to the handle bars)

Disposal

Power tools do not belong in

household garbage. Bring the the de-

vice, accessories and packaging to

an environmentally-friendly recycling

location.

Operation

Times of operation

• Please consult regional/local regulations.

• Inquire about the operating times at your local regu-

latory agency.

Feed cable through the strain relief

• Lead the cable into strain relief as indicated

(prevents accidental loosening of the plug connec-

tor).

Connect to the socket (230 Volt, 50 Hz)

• Connect the device only to sockets that are protec-

ted with a 10-16 Amp. fuse (or LS switch type B)

3

Note: Residual current protection device

These safeguards provide protection against

severe injuries resulting from touching da-

maged cables, insulation defects and in

some cases cables that conduct electricity.

• We recommend that the equipment only

be plugged into a power socket, which is

protected by a residual current protection

device (RCD) with a residual current of no

more than 30 mA.

• Retrofit kits are available for old installati-

ons. Consult an electrician

Switching the hedge shears on/off

• Make sure that your hands are steady when wor-

king above head height.

• Hold the blade away from your body.

• Never place the cable above the hedge where it can

easily be caught by the blades.

Motor on

1. Hold down the safety switch on the bowed hand-

le .

2. Press the on/off button on the hand grip at

the same time.

Motor off

• Release one of the two buttons.

Tips for cutting

• Please observe the brooding season of the birds!

• The ideal hedge cutting form is the trapezoid

,

which provides for adequate light and ventilation for

all parts of the hedge.

• In order to promote thick growth of young hedges,

only half of new shoots should be cut.

• If the hedge has already reached the desired

height, new shoots can be completely removed.

• In order to achieve a steady hedge height you can

string up a guide wire at the desired height and cut

along this wire.

• Cutting seasons:

– Deciduous hedges: May/June and October (cut-

back to approx. 1/3 of the total height in winter)

– Conifer hedges: April and October

– Conifers: April and October
