5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF
BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in charg-
ers that are recommended by the
manufacturer. Risk of re if a charger
that is suitable for a specic type of bat-
tery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the bat-
teries designed for the purpose. The
use of other batteries may result in inju-
ries and risk of re.
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 re.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak
from the battery. Avoid contact with
this. In the event of accidental con-
tact, rinse o with water. If the liquid
gets into eyes, seek medical assistance.
Leaking battery uid may cause skin ir-
ritations or burns.

Special Safety Directions
1) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR
HEDGE TRIMMERS
• Keep all parts of the body away from
the cutter blade. Do not remove
cut material or hold material to be
cut when blades are moving. Make
sure the switch is o when clearing
jammed material. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the han-
dle with the cutter blade stopped.
When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always t the cutting
device cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible per-
sonal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool only on the insu-
lated handle surfaces, as the cutting
blade may come into contact with
concealed power cables. Contact be-
tween the cutting blade and a live cable
may render metallic components live
and result in an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation the cable may be hid-
den in shrubs and can be accidentally
cut by the blade.
• Before the work, search the hedge
for concealed objects, e.g. cable etc.
• Hold the hedge trimmer correctly,
e.g. with both hands on the handles,
if there are two handles. Loss of
control of the equipment may result in
injuries.
• Wear suitable clothing and work
clothes when working with the
equipment. Do not hold the equip-
ment by the cutting blade or lift it
on the cutting blade. Contact with the
cutting blade can cause injuries.
2) FURTHER SAFETY DIRECTIONS

Wear suitable work clothes such
as boots with non-slip soles, sturdy
long trousers, gloves and goggles.
Do not wear long owing clothing or
jewellery, as this may be caught by
moving parts. Do not use this tool
