General Power Tool
Safety Warnings
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the

3
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
5. 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.
6. 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.
Personal Safety
1. 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.
2. 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 the risk of injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to the power source and/or
battery pack, picking up, or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or power tools that
have been turned on invites accidents.
4. 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
increase the risk of injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving

4
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught by moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these
are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1. 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 is
designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if it can’t be
turned on and off by its switch. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
before storing the power tool. Such
preventive safety measure reduces the
risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate it. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
5. Maintain the 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7. 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.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,

5
or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If you accidentally contact the
battery liquid, flush it with water. If the

Noise and Vibration
NOTE: Values for the A-weighted sound
pressure level and for the total vibration
values can be found in the "Product
Specifications" table. The indicated
measurements refer to new power tools.
Daily use causes the noise and vibration
values to change.
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardized test
given in EN 60745 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may
be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure. The declared

8
vibration emission level represents the
main applications of the tool. However if
the tool is used for different applications,
with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may
differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working
period. However if the tool is used for
different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the
vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly decrease the exposure level
over the total working period. Identify
additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration
such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm,
organization of work patterns.
Wear ear protection at a sound pressure
above 85 dB(A).

Cleaning the Cutter Bar
(after each use)
•Remove the battery.
•Clean the cutter bar after each use.
Remove contamination, remains of
blades etc.
•Spray the cutter bar with
maintenance oil to ensure that the
hedge trimmer has a long service life.
Preferably use environmentally friendly
lubricants, e.g. service sprays.
CAUTION! Do not oil the hedge trimmer
while it is running.
Work Instructions
1. Check that all parts are firmly
attached and obviously undamaged.
2. Look over the working area and
remove any obstructions. Remove all
foreign objects from the hedge, such as
wire or other parts, as these may block
or damage the cutting mechanism.
3. Cut out thick branches beforehand
using pruning shears.
4. Pick up the power tool in both
hands as specified.
5. Always cut at full engine speed.
6. Start cutting only with the cutting
mechanism running.
7. The impact guard protects you
against unpleasant impacts, e.g. recoil
torque of the cutter, when striking a solid
object (wall, ground, etc.).

14
8. Never touch wire fences or the
ground with the running cutting
mechanism. If cutting hedges over a
prolonged period, interrupt your work
more frequently and oil the cutter bar.
9. Switch the engine off and remove
the battery:
-to remove blockages (jammed
clippings) from the cutting bar;
-if the unit behavior changes or it
vibrates unusually;
-if you have come into contact with
foreign objects or the ground;
-when taking breaks and leaving the
unit unattended.
NOTE: If the power tool is damaged or
vibrates unusually, it must be repaired by
a service center before it is used again.
10. After use, stop the motor and wait
until all rotating parts have come to a
standstill.
11. Place the protection hood on the
cutter bar.
Cutting Techniques
The hedge trimmer can be guided with
its double-sided cutters forwards and
backwards or in an oscillating
movement.
•Cut the sides of the hedge first and
then the top.
- When cutting sideways, hold the
handlebar sideways.
- When cutting low down, hold the
handlebar above.
•Cut the hedge from bottom to top.
•Hold the hedge trimmer at an angle of
5-10°to the hedge to ensure a
straight cut.
•Cut the hedge in a trapezoidal
shape. This prevents the lower part of
the hedge from losing its foliage due to
lack of light.

15
•Cut the upper edges of the hedge
slightly round.
•Cut in several stages if heavy
trimming is required.
•Peg out a string line if you want to cut
the hedge evenly.
•Trim the young hedge plants to the
required shape. The main shoot should
not be damaged until the hedge has
reached the required height. All other
shoots can be cut back to half their
height. Dispose of the clippings properly
and in an environmentally friendly
manner.
•Cutting times:
- Deciduous hedges-June and
October
- Evergreen hedges - April and
August
- Fast growing hedges (e.g.
conifers) - from May approx, every 6
weeks
NOTE: Beware of nesting birds in the
hedge. Do not cut the hedge until birds
have fledged or do not cut this part of
the hedge.
Operating the Hedge
Trimmer
1. Do not force the hedge trimmer
through heavy shrubbery. This can
cause the blades to bind and slow
down. If the blades slow down, reduce
the pace
2. Do not try to cut stems or twigs
that are larger than 15 mm thick, or
those
obviously
too large
to feed
into the
cutting
blade.
Use a hand saw or pruning cutters to
trim large stems.
3. An easy way to keep your hedge
level is to run a string line guide. Stretch
a piece of string along the hedge just
below your intended cutting line. Trim
the hedge just above this guide line.
4. Trim the side of a hedge so that it
tapers slightly towards the top (the
hedge will be slightly wider at the bottom
than at the top. This improves the

16
strength of the hedge and allows more
light to reach the leaves.
5. If the blades do become jammed,
release the trigger switch and allow the
blades to stop. Remove the battery pack
before attempting to remove the
obstruction.
6. Wear gloves when trimming
thorny or prickly growth.
7. When trimming new growth, use a
wide sweeping action, so that the stems
are fed directly into the cutting blade.
Older growth will have thicker stems and
will be trimmed easiest by using a
sawing movement.
