4) 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
tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.

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.

a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Hedge Trimmer
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
POINTS FOR YOUR HEDGE
TRIMMER
1. 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 the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. A moment
of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
2. carry the hedge trimmer by the
handle with the cutter blade stopped.
When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting
device cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible
personal injury from the cutter blades.
3. 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 the operator an electric shock.
4. keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation the cable may be hidden
in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by
the blade.
5. check the hedge for foreign objects,
e.g. wire fences
6. Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g.
with both hands if two handles are
provided
