Safety, performance, and dependability have been given
top priority in the design of your cordless pole hedge
trimmer.
INTENDED USE
The cordless pole hedge trimmer is only intended for
use outdoors by a single person who is standing firm on
a solid ground. For safety reasons, the product must be
adequately controlled by using two-handed operation.
The product is designed for home or domestic use. It is
intended to cut and trim hedges, shrubs, and similar
vegetation. The product is designed to be extended to a
maximum length of 2.93 m. Do not exceed this working
length.
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.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruction for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
■
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.
■
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■
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.
■
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.
■
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
■
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.
■
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.
■
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
■
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.
■
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injury.
■
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 finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
■
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.
■
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power in
unexpected situations.
■
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.
■
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
■
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
■
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
■
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
■
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.
■
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
