General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool.Failuretofollowallinstructions
listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.

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off.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
personalinjuryfromtheblades.
4.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit,
make sure all power switches are off and the battery
pack is removed or disconnected.Unexpectedactua-
tionofthehedgetrimmer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trim-
mer"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.
7.
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather con-
ditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
Thisdecreasestheriskofbeingstruckbylightning.
8. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use
the pole hedge trimmer near any electrical
power lines.Contactwithorusenearpowerlines
maycauseseriousinjuryorelectricshockresult-
ing in death.
9. Always use two hands when operating the pole
hedge trimmer. Hold the pole hedge trimmer with
bothhandstoavoidlossofcontrol.
10. Always use head protection when operating
the pole hedge trimmer overhead.Fallingdebris
canresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

Never point the shear blades to yourself or others.
21. If the blades stop moving due to the stuck of
foreign objects between the blades during
operation, switch off the tool and remove the
battery cartridge, and then remove the foreign
objects using tools such as pliers. Removing
theforeignobjectsbyhandmaycauseaninjury
forthereasonthatthebladesmaymoveinreac-
tiontoremovingtheforeignobjects.
Maintenance and storage
1.
When the tool is stopped for servicing, inspec-
tion or storage, switch off the tool and remove
the battery cartridge, and make sure all moving
parts have come to a stop. Allow the tool to cool
before making any inspections, adjustment, etc.
2. Always allow the tool to cool down before storing.
3. When not in use, attach the blade cover to the
tool and store the tool indoors in dry, and high
locked-up place, out of reach of children.
4.
Maintain the tool with care. Keep cutting edge
sharp and clean for best performance and to
reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
5. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, any part which is damaged should be care-
fully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
condition that may affect its operation.Aguardor
otherpartthatisdamagedshouldbeproperlyrepaired
orreplacedbyyourauthorizedservicecenter.
6. Use genuine spare parts only.
7. When moving the tool to another location,
including during work, always remove the
battery cartridge and put the blade cover on
the shear blades. Never carry or transport the
tool with the blades running. Never grasp the
blades with your hands.
8. Clean the tool and especially the shear blades
after use, and before putting the tool into stor-
age for extended periods. Lightly oil the shear
blades and put on the blade cover.
9. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a re. The
cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
10. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
11. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet
locations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
Important safety instructions for
battery cartridge
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using

ductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-
tainer with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water
or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current
ow, overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50 °C (122 °F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if

10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject
to the Dangerous Goods Legislation require-
ments.
Forcommercialtransportse.g.bythirdparties,
forwardingagents,specialrequirementonpack-
aging and labeling must be observed.
Forpreparationoftheitembeingshipped,consult-
inganexpertforhazardousmaterialisrequired.
Pleasealsoobservepossiblymoredetailed
national regulations.

Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely dis-
charged. Always stop tool operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).

Tool / battery protection system
Thetoolisequippedwithatool/batteryprotectionsys-
tem.Thissystemautomaticallycutsoffpowertothe
motortoextendtoolandbatterylife.Thetoolwillauto-
maticallystopduringoperationifthetoolorbatteryis
placedunderoneofthefollowingconditions:
Status Indicator lamps
On Off Blinking
Overload
Overheat
Over
discharge
Overload protection
Ifthetoolisoverloadedbyentangledbranchesorother
debris,theindicatorsfor"2"and"3"startblinkingand
thetoolautomaticallystops.
Inthissituation,turnthetooloffandstoptheapplication
thatcausedthetooltobecomeoverloaded.Thenturn
the tool on to restart.
NOTICE: Depending on the usage conditions,
the tool is automatically turned off without any
indication if the tool is overloaded by entangled
branches or debris. In this case, switch off the
tool and remove the battery cartridge, and then
remove entangled branches or debris using tools
such as pliers. After removing the branches or
debris, install the battery cartridge and turn on
the tool again.
Overheat protection for tool or
battery
Therearetwotypesofoverheating;tooloverheating
andbatteryoverheating.Whenthetooloverheating
occurs,allspeedindicatorsblink.Whenthebattery
overheatingoccurs,indicatorfor"1"blinks.
Iftheoverheatingoccurs,thetoolstopsautomatically.
Letthetooland/orbatterycooldownbeforeturningthe
tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
Whenthebatterycapacitybecomeslow,thetoolstops
automaticallyandindicatorfor"1"blinks.
Ifthetooldoesnotoperateevenwhentheswitchesare
operated,removethebatteryfromthetoolandcharge
thebattery.
Power switch action
WARNING: For your safety, this tool is
equipped with lever which prevents the tool from
