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.
◾When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always fit the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury
from the blades.
◾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.
◾When clearing jammed material or servicing the
unit, make sure all power switches are off and the
lock-off is in the locked position. Unexpected actuation
of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
◾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 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.
◾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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
EXTENDED-REACH HEDGE TRIMMERS
◾To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the
extended-reach hedge trimmer near any electrical
power lines. Contact with or use near power lines
may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting
in death.
◾Always use two hands when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-
reach hedge trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of
control.
◾Always use head protection when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling
debris can result in serious personal injury.
◾Check the hedge for foreign objects before
operating, e.g. wire fences and hidden wiring.
◾Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only.
◾The hedge trimmer is intended to be used by the
operator at ground level and not on ladders or any
other unstable support
◾Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed in
as below:

CUTTING HEAD ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
When the hedge trimmer attachment is taken out from the
package, it has been folded in its storage position (Fig. B).
The articulation angle and radial rotation of cutting head
can be adjusted independently. Adjust the cutting head to
a suitable working position before operation.

adjusted to the left or right 90°.
1. Pull back the rear bushing, and then firmly hold
the motor cover to rotate the blade to the desired
position.
2. Once the desired angle is reached, push forward the
bushing to lock the position of cutting head.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, remove
the battery before making adjustments and make
adjustments only when the blades are at a standstill.

DANGER: Never cut near power lines, electric
cords, or other electric sources. If the cutting blades
jam on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE
BLADE OR THE ALUMINUM POLE! THEY CAN BECOME
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND MAY BE VERY DANGEROUS.
Continue to hold the hedge trimmer attachment by the
insulated handle or lay it down and away from you in a safe
manner. Disconnect the electrical service to the damaged
line or cord before attempting to free the blade from the
line or cord. Contact with the blade, other conductive parts
of the hedge trimmer attachment, or live electric cords or
lines will result in death by electrocution or serious injury.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with this product
to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
◾Horizontal Cutting (with cutting head at an angle)
Cut close to the ground from a standing position, e.g.
for trimming low shrubs. Swing the cutting head right
and left as you move along the hedge-use both sides
of the blades and do not rest the cutter blade on the
ground (Fig. H).
◾Horizontal Cutting (with straight cutting head)
Hold the cutting head at an angle of 0°as you slowly
swing the hedge trimmer horizontally. Swing the
cutting head in an arc towards the outsides of the
hedge so that the cuttings are swept to the ground
(Fig. I).
Recommendation: Cut hedges that are no more
than chest height in this working position.
◾Vertical Cutting (cutting head at an angle)
Cutting without standing directly next to the hedge, e.g.
flowerbed between operator and hedge.
In this cutting position, for your better control of the
hedge trimmer, it is recommended that connect the
hedge trimmer with the cutting head at the side cutting
position.
Swing the cutting head up and down in an arc as you
move along the hedge – use both sides of the cutting
blade (Fig. J).
◾Vertical Cutting (with straight cutting head)
Extra long reach without the need for other aids. Swing
the cutting head up and down in an arc as you move
along the hedge – use both sides of the cutting blade
(Fig. k).
◾Overhead Cutting (with cutting head at an angle)
Hold the hedge trimmer vertically and swing it in an
arc to make maximum use of its reach (Fig. L1&L2).
For extreme high hedge, the extension pole is suitable
for aids in trimming.
WARNING: Any working position above head height
is tiring. To minimize the risk of accidents, work in such
positions for short periods only. Set angle of adjustable
cutting head to maximum so that the tool can be held in a
lower, less tiring position (with shoulder strap) while still
providing adequate reach.
TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See “STARTING/STOPPING THE TELESCOPIC POWER
POLE” section in the power pole PPX1000 operator’s
