¾ Only switch the motor on if your feet and
hands are at a safe distance from the cutting
element.
¾ Always disconnect the device from the power
supply if you are leaving it unattended or
removing a blockage.
¾ Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers
as well as other appropriate personal protec-
tive equipment (safety glasses, ear defenders,
safety gloves etc.) when working on the grass
shears. Wearing personal protective equipment
reduces the risk of injuries. Do not wear loose
clothing, etc., which could be caught by the
cutting tool.
Before use

ing guards or covers. It must be repaired or
replaced by a qualified expert or workshop.

cleaning it, switch off the device and remove
the operating arm in which the power pack is
permanently installed.
¾ Do not use grass shears with a defective
or heavily worn cutting element. It must be
repaired or replaced by a qualified expert or
workshop.
Tips for use
¾ Read and observe the operating manuals of
the charger and the operating arm in which
the power pack is permanently installed.
¾ Never leave the grass shears unattended
during breaks and store in a secure location.
¾ Hold the grass shears parallel to the ground

Safety information
¾ Always be aware of your environment and
possible hazards which you may not be able
to hear because of the noise of the device.
Information about vibrations:
¾ Vibrations can cause nerve damage and
impair the blood circulation in the hands and
arms.
¾ When working in the cold, wear warm clothing
and keep your hands warm and dry.
¾ Take breaks.
¾ If you notice that the skin of your fingers
or hands goes numb, tingles, hurts or goes
white, stop working with the machine and, if
necessary, consult a doctor.
¾ The specified vibration emission values:
• Were measured according to a standardised
testing procedure.
• Make it possible to estimate the power tool
emissions and compare these with different
power tools. Dependent on the conditions of
use, the state of the power tool or tools inserted
for use with it, the actual vibration load may be
higher or lower. When estimating the emis-
sions, consider doing so during work pauses
and phases when the tool is under reduced
load. Based on the correspondingly adjusted
estimated values, take protective actions, e.g.
organisational actions.
After use
¾ Switch the device off, remove the operating
arm from the device and check the device
for damage. Attention, danger! Cutting tool
continues running!
¾ If you need to clean or service the device,
switch it off and remove the operating arm.
¾ Always wait until the cutting tool comes to a
standstill.
¾ Removal of the protective equipment must
only be performed with the motor stationary
and the operating arm removed.
¾ Ensure that ventilation slots are free from dirt.
¾ Do not clean the grass shears using water.
¾ Always fit the protective cover after use and
when not using.
