Your hedge trimmer has been engineered and
manufactured to Ryobi’s high standard for dependability,
ease of operation, and operator safety. When properly
cared for, it will give you years of rugged, trouble-free
performance.
Thank you for buying a Ryobi product.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING
5HDGDOOVDIHW\ZDUQLQJVDQGDOOLQVWUXFWLRQV )DLOXUH
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
INTENDED USE
This hedge trimmer is intended for cutting and trimming
hedges and bushes in domestic use. It is not intended to
be used for cutting above shoulder level. The product is
not for no load use.
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
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
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,
gloves, 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 over-reach. 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
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
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 switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

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 fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with plenty of soap and water. If liquid
contacts eyes, immediately seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
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.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
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 switch
is off when clearing jammed material.A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may
result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing
the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
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.

The vibration level during actual use of the power tool
can differ from the declared total value depending on
the ways in which the tool is used.

may contribute toa condition calledRaynaud’sSyndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
QXPEQHVVDQGEODQFKLQJRIWKH¿QJHUVXVXDOO\DSSDUHQW
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. It is presentlyunknown what, if any, vibrations
or extent of exposure may contribute to the condition.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
20 mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed into
the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.

If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then,
stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height.
Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string.

hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will
be more uniform. If blades do become jammed, stop the
motor, allow the blades to stop and remove the battery
pack before attempting to remove the obstruction.
 Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
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.
DANGER
If blade jams on any electrical cord or line,
DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS.
Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated
rear handle or lay it down and away from you in a
safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service to the
damaged line or cord before attempting to free the

WARNING
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Re-move all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or
string which can become entangled in the cutting blade
and create a risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various Types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard or
cause product damage.
CAUTION
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that may damage, weaken, or
destroy plastics.
