IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING - Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
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.
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 can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- 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

03
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.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD with a tripping current
of 30 mA or less) 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)”.
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 inuence 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 o󰀨-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
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
- 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.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

04
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.
- 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.
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 o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- 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.
- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may a󰀨ect 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.

05
Service
- 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.
SPECIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
For outdoor use only. Do not use when it is raining. Check
that the ventilation slots are not blocked. Always use ear
protectors, protective goggles, overalls and safety footwear
when using the hedge
trimmer. Do not allow other people or animals to come within
a radius of 3 meters of the
trimmer while it is running. Remember that noise from the
hedge trimmer can prevent you from hearing warnings etc.
Be aware of your surroundings when you are using the hedge
trimmer.
Keep ngers and hands safely away from the blade while
using the hedge trimmer.
Do not obstruct or in any other way prevent the safety switch
from working, e.g., in order
to use the hedge trimmer with one hand only.
Always remove the battery from the hedge trimmer after use,
before removing objects stuck in
the blade and when cleaning the hedge trimmer.
Never put the hedge trimmer down before it has completely
stopped running. The blade continues to run a short time
after the machine has been switched o󰀨. A sturdy pair of work
gloves
can reduce vibrations in your hands.
Never walk around with the hedge trimmer while it is running.
Always t the protective sleeve onto the blade when
transporting or storing the hedge trimmer.

BEFORE FIRST USE
WARNING!
Remove the battery pack before any installation or
cleaning the tool.
- Always release the On/O󰀨 switch before insertion or removal
of the battery pack.
- To remove the battery pack, depress the button on end of the
battery pack, and then remove the pack from the tool.
- To insert the battery pack, align the latches on both side of the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into
place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing
injury to you or someone around you.
- Do not use force when inserting the battery pack. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
- Make sure that all the teeth on the blade (5) are always
lubricated.
- The cutter is designed for a branch thickness of max. 15 mm.
Therefore, cut all branches thicker than 15 mm in the work area
with pruning shears or lopping clippers before using the hedge
trimmer
USING THE MACHINE
- Hold the safety switch (8) on the support handle (4) in by
gripping it with one hand and use the other hand to hold the
handle (6).
- Push the on/o󰀨 button on the handle (2) and the safety switch
(8) in at the same time.

hedge trimmer will stop.

10
- Move the hedge trimmer from side to side with even
movements to cut the hedge.
Use Information
-Always start from the bottom and side, and repeat the
movement over the same area if the foliage is very thick.
- Be very careful when cutting near walls, thick branches, wire
fencing or other obstacles. If the blade comes into contact with
an obstruction, it can jam or kick back.
- Stop the hedge trimmer immediately if the blade jams. The
blade can be damaged if it comes into contact with metal, stone
or other solid objects.
- Sparking may occur in the motor compartment during use. This
is normal and does not indicate a defect.

trimmer with acid-free oil or lubricating spray.
