3. SAFETY REGULATIONS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The vibration value may vary according to the usage of the machine and its fitted
equipment, and be higher than the one indicated.
Safety measures must be established to protect the user and must be based on the
load estimate generated by the vibrations in real usage conditions. In this regard,
all the operational cycle phases must be taken into consideration, such as
switching off or idle running.
The vibration value indicated was determined with a standardized tool and can be
used to make comparisons with other electric equipment as well as temporary
estimates of the load through the vibrations.
Failure to use this machine correctly can be hazardous for oneself and others.

3.1. GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
3.1.1. Work area safety.
3.1.1.1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
3.1.1.2. 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.
3.1.1.3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
3.1.2. Electrical safety.
3.1.2.1. 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.
3.1.2.2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
3.1.3. Personal safety
3.1.3.1. 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.
3.1.3.2. 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.
3.1.3.3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the machine is switched OFF before
inserting the battery, picking up or carrying the power tool. Carrying the power tool with
your finger on the switch or fitting battery with the switch ON can cause accidents.
3.1.3.4. 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.
3.1.3.5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
3.1.3.6. 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.
3.1.3.7. 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 dustrelated hazards.
3.1.4. Power tool use and care.
3.1.4.1. 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.
3.1.4.2. 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.
3.1.4.3. Remove the battery from its compartment before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.

Rev 2
3.1.4.4. 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.
3.1.4.5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or obstruction of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
3.1.4.6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to become jammed and are easier to control.
3.1.4.7. 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.
Using the power tool for operations other than those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
3.1.5. Service.
3.1.5.1. 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.
4. ELECTRIC HEDGE TRIMMER
4.1. Safety warning.
4.1.1. 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.
4.1.2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device guard. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
4.1.3. Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces only, as the blade may come in
contact with 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.
4.2. How to use the (battery operated) hedge trimmer.
4.2.1. When using the machine, always use caution and take on a firm and well balanced position.
4.2.1.1. Where possible, avoid working on wet, slippery ground or in any case on uneven or
steep ground that does not guarantee stability for the operator.
4.2.1.2. Never run, but walk carefully paying attention to the lay of the land and any eventual
obstacles.
4.2.1.3. Assess the potential risks on the ground and take all necessary precautions to ensure
your own safety, especially on slopes or on bumpy, slippery or unstable ground.
4.2.2. Do not use the machine if you are unable to hold it with both hands or keep it steady on
your legs while working. Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with these instructions to
The safety rules must be observed during machine use. Before starting the
machine, read the instructions regarding personal safety and the safety of
unauthorized persons. Keep the instructions in a good state for future use
