around houses and buildings.
• Workingposition. Maintain proper
footing and balance and do not overreach.
Wear safety goggles, non-slip footwear
and rubber gloves when trimming. Hold
the pole hedge trimmer firmly in both
hands before turning the pole hedge
trimmer on. Always hold the pole hedge
trimmer with one hand on the rear handle
and one hand on the auxiliary handle.
WARNING!: FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH
SURROUNDING HAZARDS SUCH AS POWER LINES,
PHONE LINES, METAL FENCES AND OTHER OBJECTS
THAT COULD BE IN YOUR TRIMMING PATH, FAILURE
TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO YOUR POLE

Trimming
WARNING!: NEVER USE THE POLE HEDGE TRIMMER
WHEN STANDING ON A LADDER OR UNEVEN
GROUND. DO NOT OVERREACH. ALWAYS USE BOTH
HANDS TO HOLD THE POLE HEDGE TRIMMER.
CAUTION: ENSURE APPROPRIATE CARE IS TAKEN WHEN
CUTTING ABOVE SHOULDER HEIGHT.
• General information. When older hedges are to be cut back a
substantial amount, use pruning shears or some other device to trim
thicker branches (greater than 12mm diameter) to the desired length
before starting work with the pole hedge trimmer. Ensure the blades do
not come into contact with any object made of hard material that could
damage the blades, such as wire fencing or metal plant supports.
• Trimmingnewgrowth.
Using a wide sweeping motion,
feed the blade teeth through the
twigs. A slight downward tilt
of the blade, in the direction of
motion gives the best cut.
• Levelhedges. To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string
can be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.
• Side-trimminghedges.Hold the pole hedge trimmer and begin
at the bottom and sweep up.
• Cuttingsequence. First cut both sides, starting at the bottom and
work to the top: this prevents cuttings from falling into the area where
you are still working.
• Trimmingthetop.
Where the branches have
grown extremely long, cut
back the hedge in several
stages.
CAUTION!: IF THE BLADES COME IN CONTACT WITH
A HARD OBJECT, VISUALLY INSPECT THE BLADE
FOR DAMAGE. IF THE BLADE IS DAMAGED, DO NOT
CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE POLE HEDGE TRIMMER.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re 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.
1.Workareasafety
a. Keepworkareacleanandwelllit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammableliquids,gasesordust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
3. Personal safety
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f. 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.
g. 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.
4. Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Disconnecttheplugfromthepowersourceand/or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.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g. 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.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. 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.
b. Usepowertoolsonlywithspecicallydesignatedbatterypacks.Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
c. 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.
d. 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.
