General safety information for power tools

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

fl ammable 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.

Protection from environmental infl uences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.

2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.

4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient
temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).

5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
104°F (40°C). In particular, do not leave the
battery charger in a car that is parked in the
sunshine.

6. Protect batteries from overheating.

direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with

Anl_GE_CG_18_100_Li_T_SPK7_USA.indb 8Anl_GE_CG_18_100_Li_T_SPK7_USA.indb 8 29.11.2022 10:39:2329.11.2022 10:39:23

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. Unmodifi ed 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, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the

- 8 -

EN

risk of electric shock.

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 interruptor (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of

electric shock.

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.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the infl uence 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, non-skid
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 carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger 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 in personal 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 jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

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 and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may aff ect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power 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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations diff erent
from intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause

b) Use power tools only with specifi cally

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fi re.

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 burns or a fi re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that

is damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or

modifi ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in fi re, EXPLOSION or risk
of injury.

f) Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to

qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

b) Never service damaged BATTERY packs.

Service of BATTERY packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings
a) Keep all parts of the body away from

the blade. Do not remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when blades are
moving. Blades continue to move after the

switch is turned off . A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result
in serious personal injury.

b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the front

handle with the blade stopped and taking
care not to operate any power switch.

Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will
decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and
resultant personal injury from the blades.

c) When transporting or storing the hedge

trimmer, always fi t the blade cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease
the risk of personal injury from the blades.

d) When clearing jammed material or

servicing the unit, make sure all power
switches are off and the battery pack is
removed or disconnected. Unexpected

actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing
jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.

e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated

gripping surfaces only, because the
blade may contact hidden wiring. Blades

contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.

f) Keep all power cords and cables away

from cutting area. Power cords or cables
may be hidden in hedges or bushes and can
be accidentally cut by the blade.

g) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad

weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning. This decreases

the risk of being struck by lightning.

h) Check the hedges and bushes for foreign

objects, e.g. wire fences and hidden
wiring.

i) Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with

both hands if two handles are provided.

j) The hedge trimmer is intended to be used

by the operator at ground level and not
on ladders or any other unstable support.

k) Before operating the hedge trimmer,

the user should make sure the locking
device(s) of any moving elements (e.g.
the extended shaft and pivoting element),
if any, are in the locked position.
