11. Work gloves of stout leather are part of the basic
equipment of the hedge trimmer and must always
be worn when working with it. Also wear sturdy
shoes with anti-skid soles.
12. Before starting work check to make sure that the
trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure
guards are fitted properly. Check cable for
damage before starting work and replace if
necessary. The hedge trimmer must not be used
unless fully assembled.
13. Keep cable away from the cutting area. Always
work in such a way that the extension power cord
is behind you.

is damaged or cut.
15. Make sure you have a secure footing before
starting operation.
16. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
17. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.

mains plug if the cutter should come into contact
with a fence or other hard object. Check the cutter
for damage, and if damaged repair immediately.
19. Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults, or
removing material caught in the cutter, always
switch off the trimmer and unplug the mains plug.
20. Switch off the trimmer and disconnect and secure
the mains plug before doing any maintenance
work.
21. When moving the hedge trimmer to another
location, including during work, always unplug the
mains plug. Never carry or transport the trimmer
with the cutter running. Never grasp the cutter
with your hands.
22. Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter
after use, and before putting the trimmer into
storage for extended periods. Lightly oil the cutter
and put on the cover. The cover supplied with the

practical way to store the hedge trimmer.
23. Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a
dry room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never
store the trimmer outdoors.
