General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instruc­tions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in­jury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term ‘“power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains­operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

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 adaptor 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 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 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 residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD

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 a power 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, non-skid safety shoes, hard had, 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 finger on the switch or energising 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 tools
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,

jewellery 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 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 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. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect 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,
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. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replacement
parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings:

• 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.

A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may 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 cable away from the cutting area.

During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be acciden­tally cut by the blade.

Additional Safety Recommendations
Work area safety

1. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these in­structions to use the hedge trimmer. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator.

2. Only use the hedge trimmer in the manner and for the
functions described in these instructions.

3. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or haz­ards occurring to other people or their property.

Electrical safety

1. It is recommended that you use a Residual Current De­vice (R.C.D.) with a tripping current of not more than
30mA. Even with a R.C.D. installed 100% safety cannot
be guaranteed and safe working practice must be fol­lowed at all times. Check your R.C.D. every time you use
it.

2. Before use, examine the cable for signs of damage or
ageing. If the cable is found to be defective, take the
product to an Authorised Service Centre and have the
cable replaced.

3. Do not use the hedge trimmer if the electric cables
are damaged or worn.
