that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f) keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) CAREfUl HANDlING AND USE
Of BATTERy DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in
chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer. Risk of fire if a
charger that is suitable for a specific type
of battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the pur-
pose. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of fire.
c) keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could
cause bridging of the contacts.
A short circuit between the battery con-
tacts may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may
leak from the battery. Avoid
contact with this. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse off with
water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek
medical assistance. Leaking battery
fluid may cause skin irritations or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.

fOR HEDGE TRIMMERS
• keep all parts of the body away
from the cutter blade. Do not
remove cut material or hold ma-
terial to be cut when blades are
moving. Make sure the switch is
off when clearing jammed ma-
terial. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result
in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the
handle with the cutter blade
stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer al-
ways fit the blade guard. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will re-
duce possible personal injury from the
cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as
the cutting blade may come into
contact with concealed power
cables. Contact between the cutting
blade and a live cable may render me-
tallic components live and result in an
electric shock.
• Before the work, search the
hedge for concealed objects,
e.g. cable etc. In this way you avoid
damage to the appliance
