If the cutting unit contacts a foreign
body or if the operating noises increase
or the hedge trimmer vibrates with
unusually high force, turn off the hedge
trimmer off and let it come to a stand-
still. Remove the battery and take the
following measures:
-
check for damages;
-
check for loose parts and fasten all
loose parts;

cleaning or removing a blockage;
-
inspection, maintenance or work on the
hedge trimmer;
