VIBRATION INFORMATION
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 62841:
Vibration emission value: ah= 1,719 m/s2(Front handle)
Vibration emission value: ah= 1,540 m/s2(Rear handle)
Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s²
The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value may also be used in a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind
of workpiece is processed dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool
is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use of the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration and noise accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may signicantly reduce
the exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration and noise exposure risk.
Always use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration and noise accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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.
1) 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.
2) 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.
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.
HEALTH AND SAFETY

3) 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 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 caught in 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.
4) 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.
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.
5) 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 battery and increase the risk of
re.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person
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.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always
t the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.
d) When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make
sure all power switches are off and the battery back is removed
or disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal
injury.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) Check the hedges and bushes for foreign objects, e.g. wire

fences and hidden wiring.
i) Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both hands if two
handles are provided.
j) The hedge trimmer is intended to be used by the operator at
ground level and not on ladders or any other unstable support.
k) Before operating the hedge trimmer, the user should make
sure the locking device(s) of any moving elements (e.g. the
extended shaft and pivoting element), if any, are in the locked
position.
l) Have any adjustable stopping mechanism maintained at
regular intervals.
EXTENDED-REACH HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Always use head protection when operating the extended-
reach hedge trimmeroverhead. Falling debris can result in serious
personal injury.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs
haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit
each other or be short-circuited by conductive materials.
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.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or re. Avoid storage in
direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come
