GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Know your tool. Read and understand the operator’s
manual and observe the warnings and instruction labels
affixed to the tool.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating this product.
Wear head protection when operating this equipment
above shoulder level.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the op-
eration is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals,
or jewelry of any kind. Do not go barefoot.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in any moving parts.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 feet
away. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye
protection.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your applica-
tion. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it is designed.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, or unstable support.
Do not operate in poor lighting.
Keep hands, face, and feet at a safe distance from mov-
ing parts. Do not touch or try to stop the cutting blades
when they are moving.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked
or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack
into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the tool in
damp or wet locations. Do not operate the hedge trimmer
in rain.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. A guard or any other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any strong solvents to clean your tool. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of
the enclosure plastic.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not operate unit in
damp or wet locations.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used
on another tool.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or
injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Before starting the hedge trimmer, make sure the blade
is not in contact with any object.
Stop the unit, remove the battery pack, and make sure
the blade has stopped before setting the unit down.
Never cut any material with a diameter larger than
2/3 in.
Risk of cut. Keep hands away from blades. Do not at-
tempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Keep both hands on handles
when power is on. Make sure battery pack is removed
and the trigger is released when clearing jammed material
from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or
cutting edges when picking up or holding the unit.
Blades coast after unit is turned off.
Always stop the motor when cutting is delayed or when
walking from one cutting location to another.
Keep unit clean of grass clippings and other materials.
They may become lodged in the cutting blades.
Store the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up or
up high to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep
out of the reach of children or untrained individuals.
Replace blade cover when unit is not in use.
Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other
liquid. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from debris.
Clean after each use; see storage instructions.
Secure the unit while transporting.
BATTERY SAFETY
Battery operated units do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit
is not operating.
Remove the battery pack before making any adjustments,
cleaning, storing, or removing material from the unit, or
when not in use.
A battery pack must be recharged only with the speci-
fied charger for the battery pack. A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack. Use battery
pack only with charger listed.
Use battery only with charger listed.
To reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury, DO
NOT place battery units or their batteries near fire or heat.
Do not mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It
may be toxic if swallowed.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ig-
nition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never use any cordless product in the
presence of open flame. An exploded battery pack can
propel debris and chemical. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
Do not charge unit in a damp or wet location. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
For best results, your battery unit should be charged in a
location where the temperature is more than 50°F (10°C)
but less than 100°F (38°C). Do not store outside or in
vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
pack leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at
least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cell may explode.
Batteries should be recycled. Consult your local waste
authority for information regarding available recycling
and/or disposal options.
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 pack
terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also to
prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.

8 — English
WARNING:
Do not place hand between pivoting head and threaded
base. Placement of your hand or fingers in this area could
result in a pinch point injury.
OPERATION
HOLDING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
See Figure 6.
The unit has both a front and rear handle. With the blade
directed away from you, hold the unit by both handles.
WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer handles.
Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate the hedge
trimmer with the other. Improper operation of the hedge
trimmer could result in serious injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 6 - 7.
DANGER:
Never cut near electric cords or lines. If blade jams on
any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE!
IT CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY
DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by
the insulated rear handle or lay it down and away from
you in a safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service
to the damaged line or cord before attempting to free
the blade from the line or cord. Contact with the blade,
other conductive parts of the hedge trimmer, or live
electric cords or lines will result in death by electrocution
or serious injury.
WARNING:
Before starting the hedge trimmer, hold the unit with both
hands with the cutting blades directed away from you.
Always use the hedge trimmer properly.
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery.
This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the
blades slow down, reduce the pace.
Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
2/3 in. thick, or those obviously too large to feed into the
cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning
saw to trim large stems.
If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow
the blades to stop and remove the battery pack before
attempting to remove the obstruction.
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch
a piece of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the
hedge just above this guide line of string. Trim the side
of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top.
More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this way,
and it will be more uniform.
Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when
operating. Use a firm grip on the handles. The unit is used
for cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping action
from side to side.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action,
so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade.
Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed
easiest by using a sawing movement.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string which
can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a
risk of serious personal injury.
