2 GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1 WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite 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.
2.2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
2.3 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 lapse of
attention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
•Use personal protection. Always wear eye
protection. Protective products such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used appropriately will reduce personal
injuries.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack and when picking up or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
•Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
2.4 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 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.
•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.
2
English
EN

•Maintain power tools. 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.
•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 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.
2.5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
•Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
•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 fire.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with plenty of soap and
water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
2.6 SERVICE
•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
maintained.

safety lock button forward to change the speed
limiter.
9.6 EXTEND THE POLE
1. Set the unit on a flat, level surface.
2. Loosen the the coupler.
3. Pull the pole out to your desired length.
4. Rotate and tighten the coupler.
9.7 OPERATION TIPS
• Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt
the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that
the blade tips point slightly towards the hedge. This
will cause the blades to cut more effectively. Hold
the tool at the desired angle and move it steadily
along the line of cut. The doublesided blade allows
you to cut in either direction.
• In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece
of string along the length of the hedge at the desired
height. Use the string as a guideline, cutting just
above it.
• In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the
growth. Younger stems move outwards when the
blade cuts downwards, causing shallow patches in
the hedge.
• Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially
avoid hard objects such as metal wire and railings,
as these could damage the blades.
• Regularly oil the blades.
WARNING
Keep hands away from blade while operating. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
