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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
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.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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.
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 — English
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.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
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 terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
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. Blades coast after turn off.
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. 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.
DANGER — Keep hands away from blade. Contact with
blade will result in serious personal injury.
WARNING — Only use with handle and guard properly
assembled to hedge trimmer. The use of the hedge trimmer
without the proper guard or handle provided may result in
serious personal injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air
vents.
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, sandals, or
go barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind.
Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using
one hand could cause loss of control and result in serious
personal injury.
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
5/8 in.
Always stop the motor when cutting is delayed or when
walking from one cutting location to another.
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
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
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.
Keep unit clean of grass clippings and other materials. They
may become lodged in the cutting blades.
If hedge trimmer is equipped with a debris remover, do not
use the debris remover as a gripping surface.
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 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.
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always
fit the cutting device cover.
Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the
cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut
by the blade.
Wear eye protection with side shields, which is marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating this product. Wear
head protection when operating this product above shoulder
level.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 feet away.
Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection.
Use only with battery and charger listed.
