Important Safeguards
helpline 01905 345891 email support@greytechnology.co.uk web www.gtechonline.co.uk 3
IMPORTANT: FOR YOUR OWN
SAFETY AND BYSTANDERS READ
THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
OPERATING THE MACHINE.
PLEASE KEEP THE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
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 battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety:
• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety:
• 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 the risk of
electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
NOTE The term “residual current device
(RCD)” may be replaced by the term
“ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or
“earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
Personal Safety:
• 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 in attention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• 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.
Important Safeguards
• 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.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before starting the power tool. A wrench or
a key left in a rotating part of the tool may
result in a personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• 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.
Power tool use and care:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 measure reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may effect the power tools 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.
Battery use and care:
• 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 & fire.
• When the 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 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.
Service:
• 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:
• Keep all parts of the body away from the
cutting blade. Do not remove cut material
or hold material to be cut when the 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.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutting blade stopped. When transporting
or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the
cutting blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal
injury from the cutting blades.

secure dry place out of reach of children
and animals.
• Always be sure of your footing on ladders
or slopes, do not overreach or use on
excessively steep slopes. Take care in
slippery conditions and uneven ground.
• Before use check the power supply
and charger cord for signs of damage
or ageing. To avoid damage it is not
recommended to wrap the cord around
the charger for storage. A damaged or
entangled charger cord can increase the
risk of fire and electric shock.
• Do not abuse the charger cord as this can
increase the risk of fire or electric shock.
Never carry the charger or battery by the
cord. Do not pull the cord to disconnect
the charger from an electrical outlet.
• Do not handle the charger or the tool with
wet hands.
• Always be aware of your surroundings and
stay alert for possible hazards that you may
