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 ( cord ed) 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

6

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. 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

Cordless Hedge Trimmer EN

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. 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.

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS

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. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter blade
may contact 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.

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

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

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK

a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or

battery pack.

b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not

store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. 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.

c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.

Avoid storage in direct sunlight.

d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical

shock.

e) In the event of battery leaking, do not

allow the liquid to come into contact
with the skin or eyes. If contact has been
made, wash the affected area with copious
amounts of water and seek medical advice.

f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or

battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a

clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before

use. Always refer to this instruction and

use the correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge

when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may

be necessary to charge and discharge

the battery pack several times to obtain

maximum performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best performance

when it is operated at normal room

temperature (20 °C ± 5 °C).
m) When disposing of battery packs, keep

battery packs of different electrochemical

systems separate from each other.
n) Recharge only with the charger specified

by WORX. Do not use any charger other

than that specifically provided for use with

the equipment. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire

when used with another battery pack.

o) Do not use any battery pack which is not

designed for use with the equipment.
p) Keep battery pack out of the reach of

children.
q) Retain the original product literature for

future reference.

VIBRATION INFORMATION

Vibration total values (triax vector sum)
determined according to EN 60745:

Vibration emission value: ah = xx m/s2

Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²

The declared vibration total value may be used for
comparing one tool with another, and may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value

during actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared value depending on the ways in
which the tool is used dependant on the following
examples and other variations on how the tool is used:

How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and
ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any
anti vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design
and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration
syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of

exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle but not actually doing the
job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions
and keep well lubricated (where appropriate)
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration
tool use across a number of days.

HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE
TRIMMER

Note that the front sw itch lever can be activated
on three sides, giving you many choices for a
comfortable grip. Before cutting an area, inspect
it first and remove any foreign objects that could
become thrown or entangled in the blades . Always
hold the trimmer with both hands and with the
blade away from you before turning it on.
When trimming n ew grow th, use a wide sweeping
action so that the stems are fed directly into the
blade. (See Fig. F1& F2 )
Allow the cut ting blades to reach full sp eed before
cutting. When operating, keep the cut ting blades
away from people and objects suc h as walls, large
stones, trees, vehicles, etc.
If the blade st alls, immediately stop the trimmer.
Release the t wo Switch Levels (6 & 7) before
attempting to clear jammed debris from the cutting
blades.
Wear glove s when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
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 bes t cut ting results.

SIDE CUTTING

When trimming the sides of the hedge, b egin at the
bottom and cut upwards (S ee Fig. F2), t apering the
hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose
more of the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed
growth.
