SAFETY INFORMATION
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. KEEP FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
WARNING
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, gasses 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
■ 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.
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 white
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

SAFETY INFORMATION
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
nonslip 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 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.
■ 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
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
■ 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.
■ Use power tools only with specically designed battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

SAFETY INFORMATION
injury and re.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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 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.
■ Store 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 affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

SAFETY INFORMATION
■ 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. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
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 Information for Hedge Trimmers
■ Keep all body parts away from the blade. Do not attempt
to remove clippings while the blade is operating or to hold
on to material which is to be cut. Only remove trapped
clippings when the tool is switched off and battery is
removed. One moment of carelessness in the usage of the
hedge trimmer can lead to severe injury.
■ Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade
stopped. Always put on the protective cover during
transport and storage of the hedge trimmer. Careful
handling of the tool reduces the risk of injury from the
blade.
■ Hold the power tool only on the insulated handle surfaces,
as the cutting blade may come into contact with concealed
power cables. Contact between the cutting blade and a live
cable may render metallic components live and result in an
