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 the power tool.
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 the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
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 fire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a ) 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 Instructions for Hedge
Trimmers

WARNING: Cutting elements continue to rotate after the
motor is switched off.
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 off. 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
fit 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 off 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.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the
extended-reach hedge trimmer near any electrical
power lines. Contact with or use near power lines may cause
serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
Always use two hands when operating the extended-
reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge
trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control.
Always use head protection when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris
can result in serious personal injury.
Check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wire fences.
The hedge trimmer is intended to be used by the operator
at ground level and not on ladders or any other unstable
support; before operating the hedge trimmer, the user should
make sure the locking device(s) of any moving elements (e.g.
the extended shaft and pivoting element), if any, are in the
locked position
The intended use is described in this instruction manual. The
use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any
operation with this tool other than those recommended in this
instruction manual can present a risk of personal injury and/or
damage to property.
Do not carry the tool with your hands on the front
handle, switch or the trigger switch unless the battery has
been removed.
If you have not used a hedge trimmer before, preferably seek
practical instruction by an experienced user in addition to
studying this manual.
Never touch the blades while the tool is running.
Never attempt to force the blades to come to a standstill.
Do not put the tool down until the blades have come to a
complete standstill.
Regularly check the blades for damage and wear. Do not use
the tool when the blades are damaged.
