1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Electric Hedge Trimmer

This GARDENA Electric Hedge Trimmer is intended for the cutting of hedges, shrubs and grass coverings in private domestic gardens and allotments.

Adherence to these operating instructions is a precondition for the correct use of the hedge trimmer.

WARNING ! Risk of injury ! The hedge trimmer must not be used for cutting lawns /lawn edges or for chopping up material for composting purposes.

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 batteryoperated (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 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 operatior 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

Only use the product in the manner and for the functions described in these instructions.

The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. Pay special attention to the hazard for third parties posed by the increased working radius when the telescopic tube is extended.

Immediately disconnect from the mains electricity supply if the cable is cut, or the insulation is damaged. Do not touch the electric cable until the electrical supply has been disconnected.

Your electric cable must be untangled, tangled cables can overheat and reduce the efficiency of your product.

Always switch off at the mains before disconnecting any plug, cable connector or extension cable.

Switch off, remove plug from mains and examine electric supply cable for damage or ageing before winding cable for storage. Do not repair a damaged cable, replace it with a new one.

Always wind cable carefully, avoiding kinking.

Under no circumstances should an earth be connected to any part of the product.

Cables
