and personal injury.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety warnings and all 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 "garden power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) garden power tool or battery-operated (cordless) garden power tool!
1. This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the product by a person responsible for
their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.
3. The garden power tool must be kept out of reach of children.
4. Store the instruction manual in a location accessible to all users of the garden power tool
and always include the instruction manual when passing it on to other users.
5. Instruct inexperienced persons on the safe use of this garden power tool using this
instruction manual.
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 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 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.

POLE HEDGE TRIMMER 400W TTB427GTM
4.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.
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 personal injuries.
3.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 energising power tools that have the
switch 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 result in personal 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
7.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.
Garden power tool use and care
1. Do not force the garden power tool. Use the correct garden power tool for your
application. The correct garden power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed
2. Do not use the garden power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any garden 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

garden power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing garden power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle garden power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the garden power tool or these instructions to operate
the garden power tool. Garden power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
5. Maintain garden power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the garden
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the garden power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained garden 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 garden 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 garden power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your garden power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the garden power tool is
maintained.

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce
hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool
manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to
make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily
basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN ISO 10517 and
EN60745:
Vibration level for operation
Vibration emission value ah = 1.656 m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE website
has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standard listed test
stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another. The declared vibration
emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

Fig. 6b
Fig. 5b
400w 高枝.indd 19 12-3-2 上午11:36

POLE HEDGE TRIMMER 400W TTB427GTM
6). When cutting wide hedges with the cutting area in sight
move the cutting blade lightly through the cutting surface
in a sweeping motion following the shape of the hedge or
shrub. A slight tilt downwards of the cutting blade in the
direction of motion is recommended for optimum cutting
performance.
(See Fig. 6b).
7). Move the product with slow motion forward when
cutting higher hedge and the cutting area out of sight. (See
Fig. 6c).
8). Do not to rush and do not attempt to cut too much with
one stroke of the cutting blade.
NOTE: Try to keep the cutting blade angled at approximately
15° to the cutting surface.
9). Cut in a number of stages if the area being cut is
particularly long to achieve a better result; smaller cuttings
will allow for easy composting.
NOTE: When shaping it is advisable to achieve a
trapezoidal shape (See Fig. 6d). A trapezoidal cut
corresponds to the natural growth of plants and
results in optimal hedge growth, as it will expose
more light to the bottom of the hedge.
