SAVEALLWARNINGSANDiNSTRUCTIONSFORFUTUREREFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock:
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
_rulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
om heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock:
f) if operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use apower
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask;
nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carryingthe tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result _npersonal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) if devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction andcollection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack
from the power too] before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, orstoring power tools. Such preventivesafety
measuresreduce therisk of starting the power toolaccidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts andany other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have thepower tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely 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 conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
Injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause bums or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liguid may be ejected from the battery,
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the batterymay cause irritation or bums.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This willensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• 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 off when clearing jammed
material. Blades coast after turn off. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
DANGER: Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade
will result in serious personal injury.
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand
could cause loss of control and result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade
stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always fit
the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because
the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter
blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live"and could give the operator an electric shock.
, Keep extension cord away from cutting area. During
operation the extension cord may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
• Check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wire fences.
CAUTION: DOnot expose to rain.
z_WARNING: Remove plug from the outlet immediately if the
extension cord becomes damaged or cut.
z_WARNING: Some dust created by this product contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birthdefects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

shown in the illustrations in this manual,
with one hand on the switch handle and
one hand on the bait handle. (figure 4)
Never hold the unit by the blade guard.
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH -
(Figure 5) A wide, sweeping motion,
feeding the blade teeth through
the twigs is most effective. A slight
downward tilt of the blade, in the
direction of motion gives the best
cutting.
CAUTION: Do not cut stems greater
than 3/4 inch (19ram). Use the trimmer
only for cutting normal shrubbery around
houses and buildings.
3.
LEVEL HEDGES (Figure 6) - To
obtain exceptionally level hedges a
piece of string can be stretched along
the length of the hedge as a guide.
4. SIDE TRIMMING HEDGES (Figure 7)-
Hold the trimmer as shown and begin at
the bottom and sweep up.
