WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all the instructions listed
in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool
or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause a loss of control.
2) Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
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 awayfrom heat, oil, sharp edgesor moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
an electrician or a power tool repairer.
• 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) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Have your tool repaired by an electrician or a power tool repairer. This power tool
complies with relevant safety requirements. To avoid danger, electrical appliances
this may result in considerable damage to the user.
3)Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever
conditions require will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the ‘off’ position before plugging

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
that have the switch on may cause an accident.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or 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 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 these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
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 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.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking 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 stick and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions of the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from intended use could lead to a hazardous
situation.

• 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, please keep the cutting device cover
covered. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutter blades.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in
shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
• Remove any sand, stone, nails, wire, etc. found within the working area. Foreign
objects may damage the cutting blades. Pay special attention when cutting
hedges which are laid out along a wire fence and have grown through the fence.
The blade must not contact the fence; otherwise the blades may be destroyed.

OPERATION (Cont.)
Tips for Using Your Li-ion Hedge Trimmer ( E F)
• Please observe the breeding season of the birds!
• The ideal hedge cutting form is the trapezoid E which provides for adequate light
and ventilation for all parts of the hedge.
• In order to promote thick growth of young hedges, only half of new shoots should
be cut.
• If the hedge has already reached the desired height, new shoots can be
completely removed.
• In order to achieve a steady hedge height you can string up a guide wire at the
desired height and cut along this wire.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before checking the hedge trimmer or carrying out work on the
blade, remove the battery.
General Maintenance
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use.
Always ensure that the ventilation openings are kept clear from debris.
Blade Maintenance
Always clean the cutting blades after operation and lubricate as described below.
Perform regular visual checks/inspection on the cutting edges of the blade and
check the tightness of the blade bolts.
Lubricating Blade
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge trimmer blade before
and after each use. Stop the motor and remove the battery. Lay the hedge trimmer
on a at surface. Apply light weight machine oil along the edge of the top blade.
Cleaning the Hedge Trimmer
Stop the motor and remove the battery. Clean dirt and debris from the body of the
hedge trimmer, using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
Note: 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.

blades before storing. Store it in a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to
