IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions before using this product. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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
ammable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 greatly
increase the risk of injury.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Ensure that the Power Tool plug matches
theoutletbeforeuse.Donotusethisproductwithanyadaptersormodiedplugs.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•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.
•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.
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. Protective equipment
such as 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 the tool to a power source and/or battery pack before 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.

4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•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.
•Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
•Dress appropriately, 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•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 on and off switch is malfunctioning. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the on and off switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the power tool from the power source before storing the product or making
any adjustments. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow anyone to operate the
power tool unless they have read the instruction manual. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
•Check and maintain your power tool before and after every use. Look for binding of
moving parts, misalignment, damage, or any other conditions 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.
•Clean and sharpen all cutting tools before and after use. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•Do not use power tools or accessories for any purpose outside it’s intended use. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•Rechargeonlywiththechargerspeciedbythemanufacturer.Use of a charger that is
not designed for the battery pack may create a risk of re.
•Keep the charging inlet away from other metal objects such as paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects. These objects may cause the battery
terminal to short which could result in burns or res.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS:
• Keep all body parts away from the cutting blade while the power tool is plugged into the power
source. Make sure the power tool is unplugged from the power source when clearing jammed
material from the blade. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result
in serious personal injury.

5
• Always carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with lock button engaged until the product is
in use. Always install the blade cover when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Always hold the power tool by the insulated grip handle. This will help protect the user should
the tool come in contact with any live wires. Contact with live wires may make exposed metal
parts of the tool live which could injure the operator.
• Keep any cords or extension cords away from the cutting blade. Contact cords or cables may
damage the tool and increase the risk of injury for the operator.
• Check the hedge for foreign objects before use.
WARNING
The blades continue to move for a few seconds after the garden product is switched off.
W A R N I N G (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 lter out microscopic
particles.

BATTERY CHARGERS
WARNING
Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture. Penetration of water in the battery charger
increases the risk if an electric shock.
• Keep Children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area while the tool is being
used.
• The charger is designed for use from a standard household electrical supply. Do not attempt
to connect the charger to a supply with a different voltage.

attempting to clean it. Removing the output terminal alone does not reduce the risk.
• Pull on the charger to disconnect it from the power source. Do not pull on the lead.
• Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to danger of an electric shock.
• Before each use, check the battery charger. If damage is detected, do not use the battery
charger. Never open the battery charger yourself. Have repairs performed only by a qualied
technician and only using original spare parts. Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not operate the battery charger on or near ammable products such as paper, textiles, etc.
• The heating of the battery charger during the charging process can pose a re hazard.
