VIBRATION INFORMATION Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745: Vibration emission value a,=2.2m/s? Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s? The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ

from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used: How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool being in good condition and well maintained The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition. The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used. And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions. This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use

should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades. Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate) Ifthe tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days. Blade sheath 1 1 1 1 1 1 Safety guard 1 1 1 1 1 1 Charger 1 (WA3760) | 1 (WA3860) 1 1 (WA3760) | 1 (WA3880) !

HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE

TRIMMER Note that the front switch lever can be activated on three sides, giving you many choices for a comfortable grip. Before cutting an area, inspect it first and remove any foreign objects that could become thrown or entangled in the blades. Always hold the trimmer with both hands and with the blade away from you before turning it on. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into the blade. (See Fig. E1& E2) Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before cutting. When operating, keep the cutting blades away from people and objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles, etc. If the blade stalls, immediately stop the trimmer. Release the two Switch Levels (5 & 6] before attempting to clear jammed debris from the cutting blades. Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick for the cutting blade TOP CUTTING Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig. E1). A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results. SIDE CUTTING When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin atthe bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. E2), tapering the hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth. Cordless Hedge Trimmer
