INTENDED USE
The product is only intended for use
outdoors. For safety reasons the product

the two-handed operation. The product is
designed for home or domestic use. It is

RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as
described, it is still impossible to completely
eliminate certain residual risk factors. The
following hazards may arise in use and the
operator should pay special attention to
avoid the following:
1.
The blades cannot be guarded whilst
cutting. Contact with the blades can
cause serious injury. Keep the blade
away from yourself and others. Cover it
with the blade protector whenever you
are not cutting.
2.
Injury caused by vibration. Always use
the right tool for the job, use
designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
3.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing
injury. Wear ear protection and limit
exposure
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from
hand-held tools may contribute to a
condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in
certain individuals. Symptoms may include
tingling, numbness and blanching of the
fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to
cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold
and dampness, diet, smoking and work
practices are all thought to contribute to
the development of these symptoms. There
are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of
vibration:
1.
Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the unit wear gloves to
keep the hands and wrists warm. It is
reported that cold weather is a major
factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.
2.
After each period of operation, exercise
to increase blood circulation.
3.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the
amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of
this condition, immediately stop use and
see your doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING:
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure you
take regular breaks.
DANGER OF FIRE!
Never charge batteries in the vicinity of
acids or easily flammable materials.
Charge battery only at a temperature bet-
ween 10 - 45 °C. After a heavy load, first
allow the battery to cool.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Protect the device from direct exposure to
heat and fire.
Do not place on heating units or expose to
strong sunlight for an extended period.
Operate the device only at temperatures
between -10 °C to + 45 °C..
RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT!

where they could get pinched or cut.
NEVER
touch blade or service unit unless the
battery pack is removed.
Switch off and remove the battery pack off
before:
1.
adjusting the working position of the
cutting device
2.
cleaning or clearing a blockage
3.
leaving the product unattended
4.
checking, maintenance or working on
the machine
Do not force the hedge trimmer 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 16 mm thick, or those
obviously too large to feed into the cutting
blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.
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 working area.
WARNING:
If the machine is dropped, suffers heavy
impact or begins to vibrate abnormally,
immediately stop the machine and inspect
for damage or identify the cause of the
vibration. Any damage should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised
service centre.
TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE

allow both to cool before storing or
transporting
Clean all foreign material from the product.
Store it in a cool dry and well-ventilated
place that is inaccessible to children. For
extra safety, store the battery separately

Cover the blade with the blade protector
before storing the unit, or during
transportation.
For transportation, secure the machine
against movement or falling to prevent
injury to persons or damage to the
machine.
