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 adapter 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 of 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 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 tool 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.

Hedge Trimmer WG213E

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 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.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR HEDGE TRIMMER:

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.

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 cover. Proper

handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.

3. Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.

4. 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.

5. Check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wire fences.

6. Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss of control and result in serious personal injury.

7. Recommendation for the use of a residual current device with a tripping current of 30 mA or less.

Wear dust mask

Do not expose to moisture

Before working with your tool make sure that no power cords will be damaged.

Make sure the tool is unplugged prior to changing accessories.

Double insulation

Keep hands away

Wear protective gloves.

Waste electrical products must not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authorities or retailer for recycling advice.

If the supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a local approved Service Centre. Take care not to expose this tool to rain.

TOP CUTTING See Fig. E

SIDE CUTTING See Fig. F

LUBRICATING THE CUTTING BLADE NOTE: It is important to use only the recommended standard lubricating oil (WD-40) to avoid damage to the blade.

See Fig. G

HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

Inspect the area to be cut before each use, remove objects which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting blades. Always hold the Hedge trimmer with both hands and with the blade away from you before turning it on.

Always keep the power cord behind the Hedge trimmer when in use. Do not place it over the hedge that you are trimming where it may be cut by the blade.

When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into the blade. (See Fig. E & F)) Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before entering the material to be cut. Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc. If the blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedge trimmer. Disconnect the Hedge trimmer from the mains and clear the jammed debris from the cutting blades. Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the branches directly into the blade cutting edges. Do not try to cut stems that are too large to feed into the cutting blade.

TOP CUTTING (SEE Fig. E)

Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results.

SIDE CUTTING (SEE Fig. F)

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards, tapering the hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Disconnect from mains electrics supply. Using a soft brush-remove debris from all air intakes and cutting blade. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualiﬁed persons in order to avoid a hazard. Wipe over surface of your Hedge trimmer with a dry cloth.

WARNING! Never use water for cleaning your Hedge trimmer. Do not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or solvents as this

can damage your hedge trimmer.

AT THE END OF THE CUTTING SEASON

Clean your Hedge trimmer thoroughly. Check that all nuts and bolts are secure. Visually inspect the Hedge trimmer for any worn or damaged parts.
