1. 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
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 flammable 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. Unmodified 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.
NOTE the term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
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 influence 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 connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, 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.
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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3
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.
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 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.
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. 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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
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 fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers
6) Service
a) 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
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.

4
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact
hidden wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Advice to check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wire fences
Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both hands if two handles are provided

OPERATING TIPS
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow
down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.
Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 20mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed
into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Then stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just above this guide line
of string. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the edge will be
exposed when shaped this way, and it will be more uniform. If blades do become jammed, stop the
motor, allow the blades to stop and remove the battery pack before attempting to remove the
obstruction.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker
stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
4. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
WARNING
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery pack before servicing, cleaning, or
removing material from the unit.
BLADE CARE
Lubricate the cutting blades after each use.
Periodically inspect the blades for damage and wear.
Always use the manufacturer's specified replacement blades.
TO LUBRICATE BLADE
Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge trimmer blade before and after each
use.
Before lubricating, remove the battery pack and lay hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply light weight
machine oil along the edge of the top blade.
Occasionally, you should oil your hedge trimmer during prolonged use. Before oiling, stop hedge
trimmer, remove battery pack, then oil. You then can resume trimming. Do not oil while hedge trimmer
is running.
SHARPENING BLADE
Allow the blades of the hedge trimmer to come to a stop in the position. This will allow clearance for
the file between cutter teeth and guard teeth.
Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer.

9
Clamp blade assembly in a vice and file the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth with a 203
mm (8 inch) smooth round file, 6.4 mm (1/4 inch) or 5.6mm (7/32 inch) diameter. Be sure to retain the
original angle of tooth when filing.
Re move the hedge trimmer from the vice, replace battery pack and restart the hedge trimmer. Allow
the blades of the hedge trimmer to come to a stop so that the unsharpened edges of the cutter blade
teeth are exposed.
Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer and repeat the sharpening procedure as described above.
HEDGE TRIMMER LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life
of the unit under normal operating procedures. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify this unit or create or mount any accessory not specifically recommended in
this manual for use with this hedge trimmer. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could
result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
WARNING
Examine hedge trimmer frequently to assure all parts are unbroken and securely attached. Make sure
all screws and fasteners are securely tightened to prevent the risk of serious personal injury.
CLEANING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing
material from the unit.
Remove the battery pack.
Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing or the handle. They can be damaged by
certain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene.
Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry cloth.
Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small vacuum cleaner brush to clean the air vents on the
battery pack housing and motor housing.
Keep the air vents free of obstructions.
STORING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing. Store the hedge trimmer in a dry, well-ventilated
place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and
de-icing salts.
Always place blade cover on cutting blades before storing.
Store and charge your batteries below in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery pack life.

10
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for battery pack to cool and fully charge
immediately.
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27$C, and away from moisture.
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge.
If you store your unit for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or
two. This practice will prolong battery pack life.
5. DISPOSAL
Separate collection of used products and packaging allows materials to be recycled and
used again. Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent environmental pollution and
reduces the demand for raw materials.
At the end of their useful life, discard batteries with due care for our environment. The
battery contains material which is hazardous to you and the environment. It must be
removed and disposed of separately at a facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries.
