F. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair tied back and your
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
G. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure that these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
3. Power tool use and care
A. 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.
B. Do not use the power tool 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.
C. 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.
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 tools
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. Using the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
4. Battery tool use and care
A. Charge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for 1 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. Using 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, such as 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.
E. Charging time increases if the battery is charged
when the temperature is not between -10°C
(14°F) and 50°C (122°F).
5. Service
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.
Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings
•
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure that the switch is
off when clearing jammed material. The blades coast
after you turn them 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
cutter blade stopped. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
reduces possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give you an electric shock.
•
DANGER—Keep your hands away from blade.
Contact with blade will result in serious personal injury.

•
Keep hands and feet away from the cutting device at all
times and especially when switching the product on.
