GENERAL BATTERY-OPERATED MACHINE
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications provided
with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “machine” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless)
machine.
WORK AREA SAFETY
◾Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
◾Do not operate machines in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
◾Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
◾Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines.
Unmodied 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 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 machine. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
◾When operating a machine 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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
◾Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a machine. Do
not use a machine while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating machines may
result in serious personal injury.
◾Use personal protective equipment. 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 machine. Carrying machines with your nger
on the switch or energizing machines that have the
switch on invites accidents.
◾Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the machine may result
in personal injury.
◾Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the
machine in unexpected situations.
◾Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing 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 dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
◾Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
machines allow you to become complacent and
ignore machine safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
MACHINE USE AND CARE
◾Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine
for your application. The correct machine will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
◾Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
◾Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the machine before making any adjustments,

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION COMMERCIAL CORDLESS ARTICULATING POLE HEDGE TRIMMER — HTX5300-PA 9
changing accessories, or storing machines. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the machine accidentally.
◾Store idle machines out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
machine or these instructions to operate the
machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
◾Maintain machines and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained machines.
◾Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
◾Use the machine, accessories and machine bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the machine 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 machine in unexpected situations.
BATTERY MACHINE USE AND CARE
◾Recharge only with the charger specied 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 machines only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
◾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 re.
◾Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush 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 machine that is
damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re,
explosion or risk of injury.
◾Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
◾Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or machine outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specied range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of re.
SERVICE
◾Have your machine serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the machine is
maintained.
◾Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
◾Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
◾Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden
in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by
the blade.
◾Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring. Blades contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
◾Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do
not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Blades continue to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury.
◾When clearing jammed material or servicing the
unit, make sure all power switches are off and
the battery pack is removed or disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
◾Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate any
power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer
will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and
resultant personal injury from the blades.

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION COMMERCIAL CORDLESS ARTICULATING POLE HEDGE TRIMMER — HTX5300-PA10

intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere
in this manual.
◾Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at
frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also,
visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent,
cracked, and worn). Replace the blade only with
an EGO™ blade.An unbalanced blade causes
vibration that could damage the motor drive
unit or cause personal injury.
◾Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked. An
unbalanced blade causes vibration that could damage
the motor drive unit or cause personal injury.
◾If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the motor and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
◾The hedge trimmer shall be used to cut stems less
than 28 mm thick.
