CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETYWARNINGS

GEB062-5

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 injury.
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. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet or very damp conditions. The electric motor is not waterproof.
5. First-time users should have an experienced hedge trimmer user show them how to use the trimmer.
6. The hedge trimmer must not be used by children or young persons under 18 years of age. Young persons over 16 years of age may be exempted from this

restriction if they are undergoing training under the supervision of an expert.

1. Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good physical condition. If you are tired, your attention will be reduced. Be especially careful at the end of a working day. Perform all work calmly and carefully. The user is responsible for all damages to third parties.
2. Never use the trimmer when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
3. Work gloves of stout leather are part of the basic equipment of the hedge trimmer and must always be worn when working with it. Also wear sturdy shoes with anti-skid soles.
4. Before starting work check to make sure that the trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure guards are fitted properly. The hedge trimmer must not be used unless fully assembled.
5. Make sure you have a secure footing before starting operation.
6. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
7. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
8. Immediately switch off the motor and remove the battery cartridge if the cutter should come into contact with a fence or other hard object. Check the cutter for damage, and if damaged repair immediately.
9. Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults, or removing material caught in the cutter, always switch off the trimmer and remove the battery cartridge.
10. Switch off the trimmer and remove the battery cartridge before doing any maintenance work.
11. When moving the hedge trimmer to another location, including during work, always remove the battery cartridge and put the blade cover on the cutter blades. Never carry or transport the trimmer with the cutter running. Never grasp the cutter with your hands.
12. Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter after use, and before putting the trimmer into storage for extended periods. Lightly oil the cutter and put on the cover. The cover supplied with the unit can be hung on the wall, providing a safe and practical way to store the hedge trimmer.
13. Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a dry room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never store the trimmer outdoors.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10^ - 40^ (50^ - 104^) . Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

CAUTION:

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.

To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.

To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it

into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.

CAUTION:

• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Battery protection system

The tool is equipped with a battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend battery life.

The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

Overloaded:

The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current.

In this situation, release the switch trigger on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the switch trigger again to restart.

If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the switch trigger again.

• Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. If you pull the switch trigger, the motor runs again but stops soon. In this situation, remove and recharge the battery.

Switch action

CAUTION:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.

For your safety, this tool is equipped with a dual switching system. To turn on the tool, press the lock-off button and triggers A and B. Release either one of the two pressed triggers to turn off. The sequence of switching is unimportant as the tool only starts when both switches are activated. (Fig. 2)

Indication lamp (Fig. 3)

Running the tool allows the indication lamp to show the battery cartridge capacity status.

When the tool is also overloaded and has stopped during operation, the lamp lights up in red.

Refer to the following table for the status and action to be taken for the indication lamp.

Indication lamp Status Action	to be taken
The lamp blinks in red.	This indicates the appropriate time to replace the battery cartridge when the battery power becomes low.	Recharge the battery cartridge as soon as possible.
The lamp lights up in red. (Note 1)	This function works when the battery power is almost used up. At this time, tool stops immediately.	Recharge the battery cartridge.
The lamp lights up in red. (Note 1) Auto stop due to overload. Turn off the tool.

Note 1: The time at which the indication lamp lights up varies by the temperature around the work area and the battery cartridge conditions.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal fence or other hard objects while trimming. The blade will break and may cause serious injury.
  Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly from a ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not work from anything wobbly or infirm.

Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 10mm diameter with this trimmer. These should first be cut with shears down to the hedge trimming level. (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

• Do not cut off dead trees or similar hard objects. Failure to do so may damage the tool.
  Hold the trimmer with both hands and pull the switch trigger A or B and then move it in front of your body. (Fig. 5)

As a basic operation, tilt the blades towards the trimming direction and move it calmly and slowly at the speed rate of 3 - 4 seconds per meter. (Fig. 6)

To cut a hedge top evenly, it helps to tie a string at the desired hedge height and to trim along it, using it as a reference line. (Fig. 7)

Attaching the chip receiver (optional accessory) on the tool when trimming the hedge straight can avoid cut off leaves' being thrown away. (Fig. 8)

To cut a hedge side evenly, it helps to cut from the bottom upwards. (Fig. 9)

Trim boxwood or rhododendron from the base toward the top for a nice appearance and good job. (Fig. 10)

Installing or removing chip receiver (optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing chip receiver.

NOTE:

• When replacing the chip receiver, always wear gloves so that hands and face does not directly contact the blade. Failure to do so may cause personal injury.
• Always be sure to remove the blade cover before installing the chip receiver.
• The chip receiver receives cut-off leaves and alleviates collecting thrown-away leaves. This can be installed on either side of the tool.

Press the chip receiver on the shear blades so that its slits overlap with the nuts on the shear blades. (Fig. 11)

At this time, the chip receiver needs to be installed so that its hooks fit into grooves in the shear blade unit. (Fig. 12)

To remove the chip receiver, press its lever on both sides so that the hooks are unlocked. (Fig. 13)

CAUTION:

• The blade cover (standard equipment) cannot be installed on the tool with the chip receiver being installed. Before carrying or storing, uninstall the chip receiver and then install the blade cover to avoid blade exposure.

NOTE:

• Check the chip receiver for secure installment before use.
• Never try to uninstall the chip receiver by an excessive force with its hooks locked in the blade unit grooves. Using the excessive force may damage it.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

Cleaning the tool

Clean out the tool by wiping off dust with a dry or soap-dipped rag.

CAUTION:

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Blade maintenance
