Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer
Safety Warnings
1. 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o󰀨.A
moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmermayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
2. 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 start-
ingandresultantpersonalinjuryfromtheblades.
3. When transporting or storing the hedge trim-
mer, always t the blade cover. Proper handling
of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of

nected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge trim-
merwhileclearingjammedmaterialorservicing
mayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
5.
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.

11 ENGLISH
6. Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area.Powercordsorcablesmaybehid-
deninhedgesorbushesandcanbeaccidentally
cutbytheblade.

Säkerhetsvarningar för batteridriven
stånghäcksax
1. Håll alla kroppsdelar borta från skärbladet.
Ta inte bort avklippt material eller håll inte i
materialet som ska klippas av när bladen är i
rörelse. Bladen fortsätter att rotera efter det att
strömbrytarenstängtsav.Ettögonblickavoupp-
märksamhet när häcksaxen är igång kan resultera
i allvarlig personskada.
2. Bär häcksaxen i handtaget med bladet stop-
pat och var noga med att inte aktivera någon
strömbrytare. Om häcksaxen bärs på rätt sätt
minskar risken för oavsiktlig uppstart och därmed
personskada på grund av bladen.
3. När häcksaxen transporteras eller förvaras ska
alltid bladskyddet sitta på. Korrekt hantering av
häcksaxen minskar risken för personskador från
bladen.
4. När du tar bort material som fastnat eller ser-
var enheten, se då till att alla strömbrytare är
avstängda och batteripaketet borttaget eller
frånkopplat. Att oväntat sätta igång häcksaxen
medan man håller på att ta bort material som
fastnat eller utför service kan orsaka allvarlig
personskada.
