Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read and understand this instruction manual before
using this product.
Save this manual for future reference.
Safety Signal Definitions
SYMBOL SIGNAL MEANING
DANGER Indicates that if the danger is not avoided, it will cause serious
property damage, injury or death.
WARNING Indicates that if the warning is not heeded, it can cause property
damage, serious injury or death.
CAUTION Indicates that if precautions are not taken, it may cause minor or
moderate injury, or property damage.
IMPORTANT Following this instruction will increase satisfaction with the tool.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire 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
flammable 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.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the 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 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.

6Hedge Trimmer Model EHT120VX-NA
Important Safety Information
• If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock. *
** Item above: “Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.” is applicable to power tools
in general; however, Oregon battery operated
V Professional Series tools have been
specifically designed for operation during
exposure to rain or wet conditions.
* Item above: “If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.” is applicable
to corded power tools in general; however, use
of a GFCI with Oregon battery operated V
Professional Series tools is not applicable.
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 influence 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 off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger 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 unexpected
situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
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 trigger
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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 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 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 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
• 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 fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above  °C ( °F) may
cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only
be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
EXTENDED HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
DANGER: Keep hands away from blade.
Contact with blade will result in serious personal
injury.
• Do not use the extended-reach hedge
trimmer in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never
use near any electrical power lines.
Contact with or use near power lines may
cause serious injury or electric shock resulting
in death.
• Always use two hands when operating
the extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold
the extended-reach hedge trimmer with both
hands to avoid loss of control.
• Always use head protection when
operating the extended-reach hedge
trimmer overhead. Falling debris can result
in serious personal injury.
• 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 transportation
lockout is activated when clearing jammed
material. Blades coast after being turned
off. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handles
with the cutter blade stopped. When
transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always fit the blade cover. Proper handling of
the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal
injury from the cutter blades.
• Do not use any accessories other than those
specified for Oregon Professional Series
Extended-reach Hedge Trimmer. The use of
any other accessory or attachment may increase
the risk of injury.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Keep blades sharp.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only because the cutter blade
may contact hidden wiring. Cutter blades
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Oregon Professional Series V tools have
been specifically designed for safe operation
during exposure to rain or in wet conditions,
but should be stored in a dry location.
