General Safety Warnings
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
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 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 ammable 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.
4
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 inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment, such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions, will reduce
personal injuries.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
5
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of a dust
collection device 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 measures 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 affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
6
• 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 re 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 re.
• 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 a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush immediately with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.

Servicing
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 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.
• 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.
• Advice to check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g.
wire fences.
• Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both
hands if two handles are provided.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces only; 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.
• Check cutting blades regularly for damage, and if
damaged repair immediately.
8
• Always ensure all handles and guards are fitted
when using the tool.
• Do not use the machine when it is raining or on wet
hedges.
• Never allow children to use the tool.
• Choose a stable and safe position, especially on
steps. When operating the machine take great care
and always hold it rmly with both hands.
• Make yourself familiar with your working area and
be alert for possible hazards, which you might not
hear due to the motor noise.
• Never attempt to use a damaged or incomplete
machine or one fitted with an unauthorised
modification.
• When the hedge trimmer is not in use, i.e. for
transport or storage, keep it in a dry place and out
of the reach of children. After use, the tool should be
stored so that the blade is not exposed.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories
supplied with the machine or recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Always wear suitable clothing, e.g. anti-slip shoes
and unrestrictive close-fitting garments that can not
get caught.
• Always wear safety goggles or a face guard,
protective gloves and wear ear guards (PPE).
• Do not use the power tool when it is raining or on
wet hedges.
9
• Within the working area, the person using the
power tool is responsible for any damage or injury
sustained by third parties or their property, which
has been caused by the power tool. Watch your
working area and do not allow third persons or animals
to be around.
• When operating the power tool, take great care and
always hold it firmly with both hands. Adopt a stable
and safe position, especially on slopes.
• Never touch the unprotected blades and never carry
the machine taking hold of the blades.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories
supplied with the machine or recommended by the
manufacturer.
