1. Important Safety Instructions

Read all safety warnings and instructions before operating this hedge trimmer. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

General Power Tool Safety

• Work Area Safety: Keep the 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.
• Electrical Safety: Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection and hearing protection. Use personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.

Hedge Trimmer Specific Safety

• 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.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped and taking care not to operate any power switch.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
• Before use, inspect the hedge for foreign objects such as wires or other hidden obstacles.
• Always use both hands to operate the hedge trimmer.

Battery Tool Use and Care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects.
• 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.

• Sharpening: If the blades become dull, they can be sharpened by a qualified service technician. Do not attempt to sharpen them yourself unless you have the proper tools and expertise.
