WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints;

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement

and other masonry products and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-

treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemical: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: This product maybe

contains lead, phthalate or other
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects and other
reproductive harm. Please wash your hands
after use.

GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings

and 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
battery-operated (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) 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

10

Cordless Hedge Trimmer EN

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 tools 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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, 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. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.

b) Use power tools only with

specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.

c) 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.

d) 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.

6. 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.

To store your hedge trimmer See Fig. H

HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
(See Fig. F1, F2, F3)

Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before cutting. When operating, keep the
cutting blades away from people and objects
such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles, etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the
trimmer. Release the two Switch Levers (5 & 2)
before attempting to clear jammed debris from
the cutting blades.
Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick
for the cutting blade.

TOP CUTTING

Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig. F1). A
slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in
the direction of motion gives the best cutting
results.

SIDE CUTTING
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin
at the bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. F2,
F3), tapering the hedge inward at the top. This
shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting
in a more uniformed growth.

CLEANING

REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK (3). Use a soft
brush to remove debris from all air intakes and
cutting blade.
Wipe the surface with a dry cloth.

WARNING:

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

TO STORE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

Clean your trimmer thoroughly.
Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
Visually inspect the trimmer for any worn or
damaged parts.
Ensure the blade sheath is fitted before
storage.
Store in a dry place where your trimmer can
be protected from damage.

MAINTENANCE

Remove battery from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.

There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool
