USER MANUAL Green Keeper 7056815 Batavia

Before first use, please familiarize yourself with the proper usage of the device. Keep these operating in- structions for future reference. This operating instruction contains important details for handling the device. Please pass it on along with the unit if it is handed over to a third party! Please read the safety instructions most carefully! These instructions will make it easier for you to handle the device appropri-ately and help prevent misunderstandings and possible damages. ! WARNING Read all Safety warnings and all instructions. 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. 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 refrige- rators. 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 electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro- tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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. General Power Tool Safety Warnings10 | 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 atta- ched to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. 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 of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 con- trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before ma- king 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 untrai- ned users. 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 dif- ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

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 maintained. GB| 11 Hedge trimmer safety warnings:

Installation and Using In some circumstances you may wish to adopt a ver- tical technique (see fig.3 below) bringing the Green Keeper down onto the growth in a vertical action. Tip: We strongly recommend regular use of the Green Keeper, which will produce exceptional performance, speed of operation and ensure professional results.

Remove all parts from the packaging. Keep packaging material out of reach of children. There is risk of suffocation! SWTICH ARRANGEMENT Your Green Keeper will operate when the main switch (|4) and the front switch (|2) located on the front handle are depressed, To operate the main switch. HORIZONTAL TRIMMING (TOP OF HEDGES) Move the Green Keeper in a sweeping pendulum motion from side to side (See fig. 1). The flat underside of the Green Keeper provides a natural guide, so the most inexperienced gardener can achieve great results. Tip: The Green Keeper has been designed to cut growth of up to 1 year in age, 10mm in diameter. Use on heavier material may result in damage to the machine. VERTICAL TRIMMING (SIDE OF HEDGE) Move the Green Keeper in a vertical sweeping action, ensuring the flat underside of the machine is level with the surface of the hedge (see fig. 2). Tip: For a tighter professional finish, bury the head of the machine into the hedge, to the desired depth, working the machine upwards. See fig.3 (below). To trim long stalks growing parallel with the surface of the hedge. move the head down in the opposite direction to growth (fig.4). Please note: The capture rate of material is reduced using the able of cut.

TRIMMING EXTRA LONG GROWTH

The Green Keeper has been designed to trim hedge of 150 mm or less. However it will trim exceptionally long growth but this operation will inevitably result in a lower rate of capture (on vertical cuts only), due to the sheer dynamics and volume of material to be managed. To trim exceptionally long growth (within the recommended cutting diameters) we advise the following techniques: trim the growth in several stages (see fig.5 below) layering down until you arrive at the de- sired level.| 13
