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

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.

■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained 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.

■ 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.

BATTERY TOOL CARE AND USE

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or

risk of injury.

■ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire

or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or

temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.

■ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge

the battery pack or tool outside the temperature

range specified in the instructions. Charging

improperly or at temperatures outside the specified

range may damage the battery and increase the risk

of fire.

SERVICE

■ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that safety of the power tool is maintained.

■ Never service damaged battery packs. Service

of battery packs should only be performed by the

manufacturer or authorised service providers.

CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY

WARNINGS

■ Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter

blade. Do not remove the cut material or hold the

material to be cut when blades are moving. Make

sure the switch is off when clearing jammed

materials. A moment of inattention while operating the

hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.

■ Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with cutter

blade stopped. When transporting or storing the

hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.

Proper handling of the hedge trimmer reduces 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of

the product. Check with your local authority for advice.

Read all instructions.

■ Clear the work area before each use. Remove all

objects, such as cords, lights, wires, or strings, which

can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting

means.

■ Check the hedge for foreign objects, such as wire

fences.

■ Exercise additional caution when using the product

near posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.

■ Beware of thrown objects. Keep all bystanders,

children, and pets at least 15 m away from work area.

Stop the product if anyone enters the area.

■ Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use the

product.

■ Do not operate the product in poor lighting. The

operator requires a clear view of the work area to

identify potential hazards.

■ Ensure that all handles and guards are fitted when

using the product. Never attempt to use an incomplete

product or one fitted with an unauthorised modification.

■ Ensure before each use that all controls and safety

devices function correctly. Do not use the product if the

OFF switch does not stop the motor.

■ Inspect the product before each use. Check for loose

fasteners, etc. Make sure that all guards and handles

are properly and securely attached. Replace any

damaged parts before use. Check for battery pack

leaks.

■ Do not modify the product in any way.

■ Wear full eye and hearing protection while operating the

product. If working in an area where there is a risk of

falling objects, wear appropriate head protection.
