PRODUCT SAFETY
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, re
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
ammable 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. Unmodied 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 inuence 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
nger 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
5
Cordless Hedge Trimmer
WG264E WG264E.X
Page 6
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 instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
6
the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
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 re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in re,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re
or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specied range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.
6. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to
be cut when blades are moving. Blades continue
to move after the switch is turned off. A moment
of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate
any power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge
trimmer will decrease the risk of inadvertent
starting and resultant personal injury from the
blades.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always t the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal
injury from the blades.
d) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
unit, make sure all power switches are off and
the battery back is removed or disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result
in serious personal injury.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring. Blades contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the hedge
trimmer “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
f) Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may
be hidden in hedges or bushes and can be
Cordless Hedge Trimmer
WG264E WG264E.X
Page 7
accidentally cut by the blade.
g) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
h) Check the hedges and bushes for foreign
objects, e.g. wire fences and hidden wiring.
i) Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both
hands if two handles are provided.
j) The hedge trimmer is intended to be used by the
operator at ground level and not on ladders or
any other unstable support.
k) Before operating the hedge trimmer, the user
should make sure the locking device(s) of
any moving elements (e.g. the extended shaft
and pivoting element), if any, are in the locked
position.
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 re.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or re.
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) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
g) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean
dry cloth if they become dirty.
h) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
i) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when
not in use.
j) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
k) Recharge only with the charger specied
by Worx. Do not use any charger other than
that specically provided for use with the
equipment.
l) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.

5.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
WARNING! Do not use the product without
attaching the guard and front handle.
The declared vibration total value and the declared
noise emission value have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be
used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value and the declared
noise emission value 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 signicantly 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.

4.INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for cutting and trimming
hedges and bushes in domestic use.
Cordless Hedge Trimmer
WG264E WG264E.X
HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE
TRIMMER
Note that the front switch lever can be activated
on three sides, giving you many choices for a
comfor table grip. Before cutting an area, inspect
Page 10
it rst 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 new growth, use a wide sweeping
action so that the stems are fed directly into the
blade. (See Fig. F1&F2)
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 components (6&7) before
attempting to clear jammed debris from the cutting
blades.
Wear gloves 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 best cutting results.
SIDE CUTTING
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. F2), tapering the
hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose
more of the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed
10
growth.
6.MAINTENANCE
Remove battery 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 in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust.
