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
mains-operated (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 sur-
faces, 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 carry-
ing, 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 exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, 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 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 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 jew-
ellery. 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 ex-
traction 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 bind-
ing 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. Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the man-
ufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
batter pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may cre-
ate 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
conn
ection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medi
cal help.
Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
6. 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.
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.
