INSTRUCTION MANUAL

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is unsuitable for one
type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery. Use of any other battery may create a risk
of injury and fire
3. When the battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, which can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
5. 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.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. 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 materials. A
moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with 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.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surface 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.
INTENDED USE
The product is only intended for use outdoors. For safety reasons the product MUST be adequately
controlled by using the two-handed operation. The product is designed for home or domestic use. It is
intended to cut and trim hedges, shrubs and similar vegetation. It should be used in dry, well illuminated
conditions. It is NOT intended to cut grass, trees or branches. It should not be used for any other purpose
than hedge trimming.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as described, it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
1. The blades cannot be guarded whilst cutting. Contact with the blades can cause serious injury. Keep
the blade away from yourself and others. Cover it with the blade protector whenever not in use.
2. Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for the job, use designated handles and restrict
working time and exposure.
3. Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection and limit exposure
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers,
usually apparent 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. There
are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
1. Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and
wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
2. After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
3. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately stop use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.

3. Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection and limit exposure
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers,
usually apparent 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. There
are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
1. Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and
wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
2. After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
3. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately stop use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.

MAINTENANCE
A plastic blade cover is supplied with your trimmer for storing. Remove the battery and slip the hedge
trimmer blade into the sheath, as shown in (Figure 8).
WARNING
Remove battery before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the gardening appliance.
The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel and with normal usage, they will not
require sharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence (figure 9), stones, glass or other hard
objects, you may put a nick in the blade. There is no need to remove this nick if it does not interfere
with the movement of the blade. If it does interfere, remove the battery and have an approved service
dealer, use a fine-toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick. If you drop the trimmer,
carefully inspect it for damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken or if you see any
other condition that may affect the trimmer’s operation, contact your local approved service dealer for
repairs before putting it back into use.
Fertilisers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals.
Do not store the unit on or adjacent to fertilisers or chemicals.
With the battery removed, use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the unit. Never let any liquid
get inside the unit; never immerse any part of the unit into a liquid. Prevent the blades from rusting by
applying a film of light machine oil after cleaning.
