SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this
power tool. 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 “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.”
WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. 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. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. 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.

9
8
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. 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.
f. 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
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 inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. 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.
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 nger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
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 tool 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.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caughtin moving parts.
g. 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.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
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.
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 remove
the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
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 and accessories. 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.

11
10
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
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 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.
h. 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 tool in
unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a. 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.
b. Use power tools only with specically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
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 re.
d. 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.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied.
Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive
temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above 130 °C
may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specied range may damage the

using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery
packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
POLE HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
a. 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.
b. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer always t the cutting device cover. Proper handling
of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from
the cutter blades.

and balance and never overreach when using Telescopic Trimmer.
Before starting the Telescopic Trimmer, hold the tool with both hands on the grip areas.
Make sure that the cutter blade is not touching anything.
Do not try to cut too much at one time. This can cause the Telescopic Trimmer to slow
down or get jammed, reducing the cutting efciency.
Do not force the Telescopic Trimmer through dense growth. A slight back and forth
sawing action may ease the cutting of larger, more dense growth. If the Telescopic
Trimmer begins to slow down or becomes jammed, immediately turn Telescopic Trimmer
off and remove the battery pack off. Wait for the cutting blade to cool before removing
any blockage.
Do not try to cut branches larger than 18mm in diameter.
For best results, trim the sides of hedges with an upward sweeping motion. Trim the
hedges so that the top is slightly narrower than the bottom.
