G
z Wear personal protective equipment and protective
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as dust
mask, safety footwear, hard hat and hearing protection reduces
the risk of injury. Whether this equipment is necessary depends
on the type of the electric tool.
z Avoid inadvertent start-up of the electric tool. Ensure that
the electric tool is switched off before carrying it or
disconnecting/connecting it to the power supply (mains or
battery). When carrying the electric tool, do not place your finger
on the switch and do not connect it to the power source while it
is switched on, as this could cause injury.
z Before switching on the electric tool, remove all adjusting
tools such as spanners, etc. Tools or spanners left on a
rotating part can cause injury.
z Avoid unnatural postures. Ensure that you are standing on
firm ground and avoid a posture where you could lose your
balance. This ensures that you will be able to control the electric
tool even in unexpected situations.
z Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing and jewelry and long hear can be
caught in moving parts.
z When using tools with dust extraction and collection
devices, ensure that they are properly mounted. The use of
dust extraction devices helps reduce the production of dust in
the working area.
Proper use of electric tools
z Do not exceed the maximum load of the tool. Use the tool
only for the intended purpose. To ensure safe and efficient
working, operate the electric tool only within the specified power
range.
z Do not use electric tools whose switches are defective.
Electric tools that cannot be properly switched on or off are
dangerous and must be repaired without delay.
z Store the electric tool outside the reach of children. Do not
allow persons who have not read these instructions to
operate the tool. When operated by inexperienced persons,
electric tools can be very dangerous.
z Handle the electric tool with care and service it regularly.
Ensure that all moving parts can work properly and are not
jammed and regularly inspect the tool for defective or
damaged parts that might impair its function. Have
damaged parts repaired before you start the tool. Many
accidents are caused by insufficiently maintained electric tool.
z Keep the cutting parts sharp and clean. Carefully maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will rarely get jammed and
are easier to operate.
z When using the electric tool, the accessories and
replacement parts, strictly adhere to the instructions in this
manual. Take into account the actual working conditions
and the task in hand. The use of electric tools for purposes
other than the intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Use and handling of the cordless device
z Only use the charger 7266078 recommended by the
manufacturer.
z Improper use can lead to leakages from the rechargeable
battery. Avoid contact with the fluid. In case of accidental
contact with battery fluid, rinse with water. In case of
contact with the eyes please seek medical assistance.
Leaking battery fluid can lead to skin irritations or burns.
z The device must not be opened and the rechargeable battery
not be removed. Injury and fire hazard.
Service
z If the electric tool needs to be repaired, have the repair
carried out by specialist personnel and instruct them to use
only original spare parts. This ensures the operational safety
of the electric tool.
Tool-specific safety instructions for shrub shears
z Keep all body parts away from the cutting blade. Never
attempt to remove any cuttings or hold material to be cut
while the blade is still running. Do not remove cuttings that
have become stuck unless the tool is switched off. A
moment of carelessness while using the battery-powered
shears may cause serious injury.
z Only carry the hedge shear by its handle and if the blade is
standing still. Always slip on the protective cover when
transporting or storing the battery-powered shears.
Handling the tool carefully reduces the risk of injury caused by
the blade.
z Only use the battery-powered shears together with Accu 50 EM
B / 50 EM C shearing blades as intended for private purposes
and to tend to bushes, hedges, and shrubs.
Tool-specific safety instructions for lawn shears
z Only use the battery-powered shears together with Accu 50 EM
R as intended for private purposes and to tend to the edges of
lawns and smaller lawn surfaces.
z Before starting to trim lawn surfaces or edges, clean the lawn of
any foreign objects such as branches, stones, wire, etc.
z Use the tool only in daylight or sufficient artificial lighting.
General safety instructions for using lawn, contour,
and shrub shears

due to the risk of bodily harm to the user.
z You should refrain from using the battery-powered shears on
public grounds, in parks, sports facilities, on roads, etc. as well
as for agricultural / forestry purposes.
z Work at a height where you do not run the risk of the blade
coming into contact with the ground.
z Do not switch on the tool until your hands and feet are far
enough away from the cutting blades.
z Please note that there is always a risk of injury due to residual
charge when switching on the device even after it has been
discharged.

z Disconnect it from the power supply by removing the plug from
the socket. Do not pull the plug by the cable as this could
damage the equipment so that its electrical safety might be
impaired.
z Never use the charger, if there is visible damage to the cable,
the plug or the charger itself. In this case, have the charger
repaired at a specialized workshop.
z Never open the charger housing. In the event of malfunction,
have the charger repaired by a specialized workshop.
