Noise and vibration values have been determined according to the standards and regulations mentioned in the declaration of conformity. The stated vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a standard testing procedure and may be used to com- pare one power tool to another. The stated vibration emission value may also be used for a preliminary exposure assessment.

The vibration emission value may differ during actual use of the power tool from the stated value depending on the manner in which the power tool is used. Try to keep the exposure to vibra- tions as low as possible. Examples of measures to reduce vibration exposure are the wearing of gloves when using the tool and limiting the working hours. For this purpose all parts of the operating cycle have to be considered (for example, times when the electric tool is switched off and times when it is switched on but running without any load). Charging time The device is part of the Parkside X12V TEAM series and can be operated with batteries of the Parkside X12V TEAM series.

Read all safety directions and instructions. Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, re and/or severe injuries. Retain all safety directions and in- structions for future use. 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 ac- cidents.GB MT

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable Iiquids, 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. Unmodi- ed 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 electric shock. f) If operation of the power tool in a damp environment is una- voidable, please use a residual current circuitry. The use of a re- sidual current circuitry reduces the risk of an 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 infl u- ence of drugs, alcohol or medi- cation. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equip- ment. Always wear eye protec- tion. 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-po- sition before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the pow- er tool on. A wrench or a key left at- tached 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 pow- er 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, jew- ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.GB MT

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and prop- erly 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 controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the bat- tery pack from the power tool before making any adjust -ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven- tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaIly. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not al- low persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained 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 main- tained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less Iikely 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 condi- tions and the work to be per- formed. Use of the power tool for op- erations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Charge the batteries only in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of re if a charger that is suitable for a speci c type of battery is used with other batteries. b) In the power tools, use only the batteries designed for the pur- pose. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and risk of re. c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects, which could cause bridging of the contacts. A short circuit between the battery con- tacts may cause burns or re. d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental contact, rinse off with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical assistance. Leaking battery fl uid may cause skin irritations or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person us- ing only identical replacementGB MT

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Special Safety Directions for the device

• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold ma- terial to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed ma- terial. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.

• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer al- ways fi t the blade guard. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will re- duce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.

• Hold the power tool only on the insulated handle surfaces, as the cutting blade may come into contact with concealed power cables. Contact between the cutting blade and a live cable may render me- tallic components live and result in an electric shock.

• Before the work, search the hedge for concealed objects, e.g. cable etc. In this way you avoid damage to the appliance

• Hold the hedge trimmer cor- rectly, e.g. with both hands on the handles, if there are two handles. Loss of control of the equip- ment may result in injuries.

• Wear suitable clothing and work clothes when working with the equipment. Do not hold the equipment by the cutting blade or lift it on the cutting blade. Contact with the cutting blade can cause injuries.

trimmer will run at top speed. Turning off:

5. Release the safety switch (3) or the

On/Off switch s (8). Checking the battery charge level The battery charge indicator (

ises the state of charge of the battery (

while the device is operating. 3 LEDs are on (red-yellow-green): Battery charged 2 LEDs are on (red-yellow): Battery partially charged 1 LED is on (red): Battery needs to be charged Only charge the battery ( 9) when the red LED on the charge level indicator is on. Working with the Hedge Trimmer During cutting work, ensure that no contact is made with objects, e.g. such as wire fencing or main plant stems. This may result in damage to the cutter bar.

• If the blades become jammed with solid objects, turn the device off immediately and remove the rechargeable battery. Only then should you remove the object.

• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur- ing work. Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a branch clippers.

• The double-sided cutter bar enables cut- ting in both directions or, with a swing- ing action, from one side to the other.

• In case of vertical cutting, move the hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up and down in an arc movement.

• In case of horizontal cutting, move the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped movement to the edge of the hedge, so that cut branches fall to the ground.

• In order to achieve long straight lines, the placing of tensioned guiding cords is recommended. Cutting Shaped Hedges: It is recommended that hedges be cut in a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent stripping off of the lower branch- es. This corre- sponds to the natu- ral plant growth and allows the hedge toGB MT

thrive optimally. During cutting, only the new annual growths are reduced and thus a dense branching and a good screen will develop.

• Cut the sides of a hedge rst. To do this, move the hedge trimmer in the direction of growth from bottom to top. If you cut down from the top, the thin- ner branches will move out, which may result in some areas having sparse growth or holes.

• Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a fl at shape, roof shape or rounded shape

• Trim young plants to the required shape. The main growth should re- main undamaged until the hedge has reached the planned height. All other shoots are lopped off to half size. Care of Free-Growing Hedges: Free-growing hedges are not shaped when cut, although they must be regularly main- tained so the hedge does not become too high. Cleaning and Maintenance Repair and servicing work not described in this manual should always be carried by our Service Centre. Use only original parts. Turn off the appliance and, before doing any servicing, remove the battery. Wear gloves when handling the safety knife bar. This will protect you against cuts. The following cleaning and servicing should be done regularly. This will ensure a long and reliable service life. Cleaning Do not spray the appliance with water and do not im- merse it in water. Electric shock hazard!
