Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²

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:hedge trimmer EN

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately

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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING: Read all safety

warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious

Save all warnings and instructions for

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers

to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs

with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) 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.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected

supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

a) Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

b) 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.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position

before connecting to power source

and/or battery pack, picking up or

carrying the tool. Carrying power

tools with your finger on the switch or

energising power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating

part of the power tool may result in

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and

collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use ofhedge trimmer EN

dust collection can reduce dust-related

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting

the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance

with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and

the work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different from

those intended could result in a hazardous

a) Have your power tool serviced by

a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is

1. 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. A moment

of inattention while operating the hedge

trimmer may result in serious personal

2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the

handle with the cutter blade stopped.

When transporting or storing the

hedge trimmer always fit the cutting

device cover. Proper handling of the

hedge trimmer will reduce possible

personal injury from the cutter blades.

3. Keep cable away from cutting area.

During operation the cable may be hidden

in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by

4. 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.hedge trimmer EN

place it over the hedge that you are

trimming where it may be cut by the

When trimming new growth, use a wide

sweeping action so that the stems are fed

directly into the blade.

Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed

before entering the material to be cut.

Always work going away from people and

solid objects such as walls, large stones,

trees, vehicles etc.

If the blade stalls, immediately stop the

Hedge trimmer. Disconnect the Hedge

jammed debris from the cutting blades.

Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly

Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the

branches directly into the blade cutting

Do not try to cut stems that are too large to

feed into the cutting blade.

TOP CUTTING (See Fig. G)

Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight

downward tilt of the cutting blades in the

direction of motion gives the best cutting

SIDE CUTTING (See Fig. H)

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin

at the bottom and cut upwards, tapering

the hedge inward at the top. This shape will

expose more of the hedge, resulting in a

more uniformed growth.

WARNING: Check extension cords

before each use. If damaged replace

immediately. Never use your tool with a

damaged cord since touching the damaged

area could cause electrical shock resulting in

If the supply cord is damaged, it should be

replaced by a local approved Service Centre.
