Check blades regularly for damage and have them correctly repaired immediately if any damage is found.

The blade-stop system prevents the hedge trimmer kicking back if it strikes solid objects.

Keep the motor casing and ventilation area free from obstructions, leaves and other similar objects.

Operation :

DANGER !

Risk of injury!

The hedge trimmer can cause serious injury!

Keep the guide-handle dry and free from oil and grease.

Concentrate and work with care. You are responsible for the safety of the working area. Keep the area of work tidy. Untidiness in the area of work can cause accidents.

Do not wear loose clothes, jewellery, etc as they could get caught in the trimmer. Wear non-slip shoes, gloves and eye protection. Wear long trousers to protect your legs.

Ensure you have a secure foothold during operation of the machine, especially when using steps.

Take extra care when walking backwards. You may stumble.

When work is interrupted:

Never leave the hedge trimmer unattended where you are working.

If you interrupt your work and go to another area of the garden, always switch off the hedge trimmer and disconnect the mains plug!

If the blades jam, release the start button immediately, disconnect the mains plug and remove the obstruction.

To prevent it starting accidentally, never carry the hedge trimmer by the start buttons.

Always put the blade guard on the hedge trimmer when carrying or storing the unit.

Environmental Influences:

Ensure that no other people (especially children) or animals are anywhere near the working area.

Only work when visibility is good.

Get to know your surroundings and be aware of possible dangers which you may not be able to hear because of the noise from the machine.

Electrical safety:

DANGER !

Electric shock!

The Hedge Trimmer must not be operated with a damaged electrical cable.

If the mains or extension cable is damaged, disconnect the mains plug immediately.

The mains or extension cable should always be kept away from the cutting area.

Check the power cable regularly for damage and signs of wear and tear.

If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a GARDENA service centre or similarly qualified person.

The socket of the extension cable you are using must be waterproof.

Only use extension cables designed for outdoor use.

vAsk your electrician.

Never use the equipment when it is raining or in a damp or wet area.

Do not operate the hedge trimmer in or near swimming pools and garden ponds.

Do not use the hedge trimmer in the vicinity of flammable liquids and gases.

For all portable units that are operated out- doors we recommend using a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30mA.

In Switzerland use of a residual-current device is obligatory.

Never carry the hedge trimmer by its cable. Never use the cable to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket.

Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
