SAfETY INfORMATION

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions 

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

 

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. 

The term “power tool”in all of the 

warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of 

flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

 Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or 

fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

 Distractions 

can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, 

ranges and refrigerators.

• A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be 

recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.

 A charger that may be suitable 

for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

• Use a battery-operated tool only with specified battery pack.

 Use of any other batteries 

may create a risk of fire.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current 

device (RCD) protected supply.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power 

tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

 

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

 Protective equipment 

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate 

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

 Contain long hair. Keep your hair, 

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be 

caught in moving parts.

• 

Prevent unintentional starting.

 Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to 

battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

 A Hedge Trimmer can throw foreign objects 

into your eyes which could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety 

goggles or sa fety glasses that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Ordinary eyeglasses have 

only impact-resistant lenses...they are NOT safety goggles or glasses.
