General Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failing to follow the warnings and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or a serious injury.
Save all warnings and all instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1. Work Area Safety
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas may cause
accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical Safety
a) Charger tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use adapters with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid any 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.
3

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 the 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.
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) Remove the battery from the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustment, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4

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 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 specified by the manufacturer.
b) Use power tools only with battery pack specified by the manufacturer.
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 fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
5

6
g) 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.
6. Service
a) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings
Keep all parts of your 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 or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
Check the hedge trimmer free of foreign objects such as wire fences, metal wires,
latticework etc. before to start working with the hedge trimmer.
7

Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with both hands, one hand on each handle.
Intended Use
Cutting and trimming of hedges, bushes and ornamental shrubs in the domestic
sector only. Not designed for commercial use.
Tools for private and hobby gardens are not suitable for use in public facilities,
parks and sport centre, along roadways, on farms or in the forestry sector.
Technical Specifications
Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745-2-15:2009+A1:2010.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745-2-15:
2009+A1:2010.
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745-2-15:2009+A1:2010 and
may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared 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.
8

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the
job. This may significantly reduce 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.

Working With the Hedge Trimmer
Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands and keep it a safe distance away from your
body. Ensure that you always maintain a stable position. It is possible to cut
branches up to a maximum thickness of 28 mm. In order to approach branches with
the blades, move the hedge trimmer forwards straight along the line of the cut. Cut
the sides of the hedge first, then the top. In order to obtain a perfect shape, we
recommend you cut upwards in the direction of the growth. If you cut from top to
bottom, the thinner branches will move outwards leaving holes or less bushy
places.
In order to cut the top in a straight line, stretch a wire along the entire length of the
hedge at the desired height.
Take care not to cut foreign objects such as metal wires, latticework which would be
likely to damage the blades or the drive.
If the blades are jammed or blocked by an obstacle, switch off the appliance
immediately and remove the battery, and only then can you intervene to free the
appliance.

adjustable to the right and left.
- Handle position should be adjusted only when appliance is off.
- Press the handle rotation knob (7) down to unlock the handle and rotate to the
right or left to tilt chosen.
NOTE: The switch should not be actuated when rotate the rear handle.

13
NOTE: The switch should not be actuated when rotate the rear handle.
Tips For Using Hedge Trimmer
- Do not use in the rain
- Start the trimmer before being in contact with the hedge to prevent the blade being
blocked.
- For hedge trimmeing, alternate using the two sides of the blade.
- For efficiency, tilt the blade about 10 degrees without poking the tip of the trimmer.
- For horizontal areas, go from the inside to the edge of the hedge to cut down the
branches on the ground.
- If the height of the hedge is excessive, making several passes. Between each
size, cut large branches with pruning shears or a lopper.
- Work carefully nearby fences to avoid blocking the blade.
- In case of blade blocking, stop the machine and remove the battery before
cleaning.
Season for cutting hedges:
It is recommended to cut leafy hedges in June and October.
Coniferous hedges in April and August.
Cut other hedges that grow quickly every 6 weeks starting in May.
