CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not
remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades
are moving.
Blades continue to move after the switch is turned
o ff . A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade
stopped and taking care not to operate any power switch.
Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from the
blades.
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fi t
the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make
sure all power switches are o
ff and the battery pack is
removed or disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the
hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the blade may contact hidden wiring.
Blades
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
hedge trimmer "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area.
Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases
the risk of being struck by lightning.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Never allow children, persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the machine,
local regulations may restrict the age
of the operator.
WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test
given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for di ff erent
applications, with di ff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may di ff er. This may signi fi cantly
increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched o ff or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signi fi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the e ff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories,
keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
ENGLISH
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects, such
as cords, lights, wires, or strings which can be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting means.
Check the hedge for foreign objects, such as wire fences.
Never use the product near posts, fences, buildings, or other
immovable objects.
Beware of thrown objects; keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 15 m away from work area.
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear
view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
Inspect the product before each use. Check for loose fasteners,
etc. Make sure all guards and handles are properly and
securely attached. Replace any damaged parts before use.
Check for battery pack leaks.
Do not modify the product in any way.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use the
product.
Wear full eye and hearing protection while operating the
product. If working in an area where there is a risk of falling
objects, wear appropiate head protection.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
Do not use the product when you are tired, ill, or under the
in
fl uenceof alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Keep fi rmfooting and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching
can result in loss of balance or exposure to hot surfaces.
Before starting the product, make sure the cutting blades will
not come in contact with anything.
While operating the hedge trimmer, always hold it fi rmlywith
both hands by the two handles. Ensure that the operating
position is safe and secure. The manufacturer does not
recommend the use of steps or ladders. If higher trimming is
required, use an extended-reach tool.
Blades are sharp. When handling the blade assembly, wear
non-slip, heavy duty protective gloves. Do not place your hand
or
fi ngers between blades or in any position where they could
get pinched or cut. Never touch the blade nor service the
product unless the battery pack is removed.
Do not force the product through heavy shrubbery. This can
cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow
down, reduce the pace.
Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 28
mm, or those obviously too large to feed into the cutting blade.
Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large
stems.Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra
attention to what is going on in the working area.
WARNING! If the product is dropped, su ff ers heavy
impact, or begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop
the product and inspect for damage or identify the cause
of the vibration.
Any damage should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse
or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors o
ff er to retrieve old
batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme
load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery
acid wash it o
ff immediately with soap and water. In case of eye
contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and
immediately seek medical attention.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in
fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain
industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products,
etc., can cause a short circuit.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
