INTENDED USE
This multi-tool is designed for the cutting and trimming of hedges, bushes and ornamental
shrubs in the domestic environment.
For safety reasons it is essential to read this entire instruction manual before initial operation
and to observe all the instructions inside.
This product is intended for private domestic use only, not for commercial trade use. It must
not be used for any purposes other than those described.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety directions and
instructions.
Omissions in the compliance with safety directions
and instructions can cause electrical shock, re
and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and instructions for
future use.
The term “Power Tools” used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated power tools
(with power cord) and to battery operated power
tools (without power cord).
Work area safety
a). Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas increase the chances of accidents.
b). Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, in the presence of ammable Iiquids,
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
momentary loss of control.
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.
Unmodied 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.
f). 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
a). Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
inuence 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
masks, nonskid safety shoes, hard hats, and
hearing protection can all reduce personal injury.
c). 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 nger on the switch or
energizing 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. The use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
a). Do not use excessive force while using the
power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and more safely 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 and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing. Such preventive 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. 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 its operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused due to poor maintenance.
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, 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
a). Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
b). Use power tools only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
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 re.
d). Under intensive use, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
