tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only
be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER WARNINGS
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove
the cut material or hold the material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed materials. A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with cutter blade stopped. When
transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit the cutting device
cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer reduces possible personal injury
from the cutter 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 lock-off is in the locked position. Unexpected
actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
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.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product. Check with
your local authority for advice. Read all instructions.

wires, or strings, which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
means.
Check the hedge for foreign objects, such as wire fences.

other immovable objects.
Beware of thrown objects. Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 15 m
away from work area. Stop the product if anyone enters the area.

that all guards and handles are properly and securely attached. Replace any
damaged parts before use. Check for battery pack leaks.
Do not modify the product in any way.
Wear full eye and hearing protection while operating the product. If working

protection.
Wear heavy, long trousers, boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose-fitting
clothing, short trousers, or jewellery of any kind, and do not use the product
with bare feet.
Secure long hair so that it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement
in moving parts.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts or
alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is going on in the

in contact with anything.
While operating the hedge trimmer, always hold it firmly with both hands
by the two handles. Ensure that the operating position is safe and secure.
The manufacturer does not recommend the use of steps or ladders. If higher
trimming is required, use an extended-reach tool.

●
before changing accessories
●
before leaving the product unattended
●
before checking for damage after striking a foreign object

whenever the product starts to vibrate abnormally
Do not force the product through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades
to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.
Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 25 mm thick, or
obviously too large to feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand
saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.

to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product and inspect for
damage or identify the cause of the vibration. Any damage should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or
conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and
bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
