or servicing the unit.
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.

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.
alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Keep
fi
rmfooting and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result
in loss of balance.
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
rmly with 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 19 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 machine is dropped, su
ff
ers heavy impact or
begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the machine and
inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.
Any damage
should be properly repaired or replaced by an MILWAUKEE service
station.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of
overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after
used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from
the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away
from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that
cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the
fuel gauge will
fl
ash,and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the
trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery
pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will
fl
ash
until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go o
ff
, the work may
continue.
