e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
5. Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the man-
ufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
batter pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
avoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may cre-
ate a risk of injury and fire.
3) Personal safety
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 oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
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 per-
sonal 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.
6. Service
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.
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 main-
tained.
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 inat-
tention while operating the hedge trimmer may result
in serious personal injury.
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 tools 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.
•
•
•
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 pos-
sible personal injury from the cutter blades.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Keep cable away from the cutting area. During opera-
tion the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
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.
Additional Safety Recommendations
Work area safety
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.
1. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the product. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator.
2. Only use the product in the manner and for the func-
tions described in these instructions.
3. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occurring to other people or their property.
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 bind-
ing 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.
Personal safety
1. Always wear suitable clothing, gloves, and stout
shoes.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the product is to
be used and remove all wires and other foreign ob-
jects.
3. Before using the machine and after any impact,
check for signs of wear or damage and repair as nec-
essary.
4. Always ensure the hand guard supplied is fitted be-
fore using the product. Never attempt to use an in-
complete product or one with an unauthorised
modification.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained 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 ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situa-
tion.
5. This product has not been designed to provide pro-
tection from electric shock in the event of contact with
overhead electric lines.

How to Use
How to Use your Hedgetrimmer
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use - re-
move objects which can be thrown or be-
come entangled in the cutting blades.
2. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your
body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and
stand in a secure and stable position.
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before entering the material to be cut.
4. Always work going away from people and
solid objects such as walls, large stones,
trees, vehicles etc.
H
5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedgetrim-
mer and clear jammed debris from the cutting
blades. Inspect blades and repair or replace as
needed.
J
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. (H) A slight down-
ward 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 (J), tapering the hedge in-
ward at the top. This shape will expose more of the
hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
Caring for your Hedgetrimmer
K
2. Wipe over surface of your hedgetrimmer
with a dry cloth.
Cleaning (K)
1. Using a soft brush - remove debris from all
air intakes and cutting blade.
•
IMPORTANT
Never use water for cleaning your hed-
getrimmer. Do not clean with chemicals, in-
cluding petrol, or solvents - some can
destroy critical plastic parts.
Lubricating the Cutting Blade
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the
cutter blades before and after use. Apply the oil
so that it runs between the two blades. (L).
At the end of the Cutting Season.
1. Clean your Hedgetrimmer thoroughly.
2. Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
3. Visually inspect the Hedgetrimmer for any
worn or damaged parts, contact your local
Service Centre if any parts require replace-
ment.
