the hedge for concealed objects, such as wire fences.
5. Use the unit only in daylight or in good artificial
lighting.
6. Use the unit in dry conditions only. Protect it from
rain and moisture.
7. Ensure that the cutter does not touch the ground
or other objects.
8. Wait until the electric power tool has come to a
standstill before putting it down.
9. When interrupting work, never leave the unit
unattended and keep it in a safe place.
10. Always switch the hedge trimmer off before
transporting it to other workplaces.
11. Never grasp the blade of the hedge trimmer.
12. Ensure that all guards and handles are fitted
before using the unit. Never attempt to switch on an
incompletely assembled unit or a unit which has
unauthorized modifications.
13. Operate the unit only in the technical condition
stipulated and delivered by the manufacturer.
Unauthorized changes to the unit exclude liability of
the manufacturer for any resulting damage and/or
injury.
14. Spare parts must conform to the requirements
specified by the manufacturer. Therefore, use
original spare parts only or spare parts authorized by
the manufacturer. When replacing parts, please follow
the supplied installation instructions and remove the
battery beforehand.
15. Have repairs carried out exclusively by a qualified
technician or a service center.
Safety Instructions for The Battery
Charger
1. Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture. Penetration of water in the battery charger
increases the risk of an electric shock.
2. Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can
lead to danger of an electric shock.
3. Before each use, check the battery charger, cable
and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery
charger. Never open the battery charger yourself. Have
repairs performed only by a qualified technician and
only using original spare parts. Damaged battery
chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an
electric shock.
4. Do not place any objects on the battery charger and
do not place the battery charger on soft surfaces.
5. There is a risk of fire.
6. Always check that the mains voltage matches the
voltage indicated on the rating plate of the battery
charger.
7. Never use the charger if cable, plug or the unit itself
has been damaged by external influences. Take the
charger to the nearest service center.
8. Never open the battery charger. If the battery
charger is defective, take it to a service center.
Safety Instructions for Li-Ion Batteries
1. Do not open the battery. There is a risk of a short
circuit.
2. Protect the battery from heat, e.g. from continuous
exposure to sunlight, fire, water and humidity.
3. There is a risk of explosion.
4. In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapors may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapors can
irritate the respiratory system.
5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
6. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or bums.
7. Use only original batteries with the voltage
indicated on the rating plate of your electric
power tool. If other batteries are used, e.g.
imitations, reconditioned batteries or third-party
products, there is a risk of injuries as well as damage
caused by exploding batteries.
8. The battery voltage must match the battery
charging voltage of the battery charger.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and explosion.
9. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
10. Pointed objects, such as nails or screw-drivers,
or external forces may damage the battery. This
may cause internal short-circuit and the battery to
bum, smoke, explode or overheat.

Noise and Vibration

NOTE: Values for the A-weighted sound pressure level
and for the total vibration values can be found in the
"Product Specifications" table.
CAUTION: The indicated measurements refer to new
power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration
values to change.
NOTE: The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in accordance with
a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used
to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared
vibration emission level represents the main applications
of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period. However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly decrease the exposure level over the total
working period. Identify additional safety measures to
protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as:
maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands
warm, organization of work patterns.
CAUTION: Wear ear protection at a sound pressure
above 85 dB(A).
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
professional using only the identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
