tool for your application – The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools –
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use – Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

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 those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Rules for Hedge
Trimmer
1. Remove any blade that has been damaged. Always make
sure that the blade is installed correctly and securely
fastened before each use. Failure to do so can cause
serious injury.
2. Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may electrify
exposed metal parts of the power tool and could give the
operator an electric shock.
3. Maintain a firm grip on both handles while cutting with the
blade. Keep the blade away from body.
4. Hold hedge trimmer properly, e.g., with both hands if two
handles are provided. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
5. Check the hedge for foreign objects before operation,
e.g., center fences. Take care that the cutting device does
not come in contact with wire or other metal objects.

repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user

blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off and the
battery is removed when clearing jammed material.

may result in serious personal injury.
8. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutting
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer always keep the blade covered. Proper handling
of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutter blades.
9. Do not use the hedge trimmer 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.

with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from intended use
could lead to a hazardous situation.
