GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term “power tool” in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite 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) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
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 safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging
in 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
these devices 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

98
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) Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such
preventative safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
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 tools 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, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repairperson using only
genuine replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

remove objects which can be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting blades.
Always hold the Hedge trimmer with both
hands and with the blade away from you before
turning it on.
Always keep the power cord behind the
Hedge trimmer when in use. Do not place
it over the hedge that you are trimming
where it may be cut by the blade.
When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action so that the stems are fed
directly into the blade.

hedge trimmer.
LUBRICATING THE CUTTING BLADE
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the
cutting blades before and after each use. Before
lubricating, make sure your Hedge trimmer is
disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
Apply the oil so that it runs between the two
blades (See K).
Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected
and oiled occasionally during use.

recycling advice.
PLUG REPLACEMENT (UK &
IRELAND ONLY)
If you need to replace the fitted plug then
follow the instructions below.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are colored in
accordance with the following code:
Blue – Neutral
Brown – Live
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of
this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before entering the material to be cut.
Always work going away from people and
solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees,
vehicles etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedge
trimmer. Disconnect the Hedge trimmer from
the mains and clear the jammed debris from
the cutting blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the branches
directly into the blade cutting edges.
Do not try to cut stems that are too large to feed
into the cutting blade.
TOP CUTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (See I). A slight
downward tilt of the cutting blades in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting
results.
SIDE CUTTING
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin
at the bottom and cut upwards (See J), tapering
the hedge inward at the top. This shape will
expose more of the hedge, resulting in a more
uniformed growth.
WARNING: Check extension cords
before each use. If damaged replace
immediately. Never use your tool with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting
in serious injury.
If the supply cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by a local approved Service
Centre.
Take care not to expose this tool to rain.
