IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keepworkareacleanandwell-lit.Cluttered
or dark areas are more prone to 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.
2. 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 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, snow or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shocks.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shocks.
• 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.
3. 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. Always
wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before plugging
in. Carrying can cause accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 the power tool in unexpected
situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, 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 these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4. 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
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 tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
by a qualified technician 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, tool bits,
etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, 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.
5. SERVICE

qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
WARNING! (PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•Leadfromlead-basedpaints;
•Crystallinesilicafrombricksandcementandothermasonryproducts;and
•Arsenicandchromiumfromchemicallytreatedlumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before
it. Keep your extension cords away from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a 15 A time delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on
the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

OPERATION
CUTTING TIPS
• When operating the hedge trimmer, keep the extension cord behind the trimmer. Never drape it over
the hedge being trimmed.
• Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow
down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.
• Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 3/8’’ (1 cm), or those obviously too large
to feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
• If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to come to a complete stop, and
disconnect the plug from the power source before attempting to remove the obstruction.
• If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at the desired height. Trim the hedge just above the guide
line of string. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the
hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will be more uniform.
• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have
thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
WARNING!
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wires, or loose
strings which can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer handles. Never hold shrubs with one hand and
operate hedge trimmer with the other. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious injury.

OPERATION
OPERATING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
• Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on the handles. The unit
is used for cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping action from side to side.
• Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet. Do not overreach.
• Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
• Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines, fencing, posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.
• Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any
