Inch Length or sizekg Kilogram WeightIMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USEKEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE DANGER! Do not operate near electrical power lines. The unit has not been designed to provide protection from electric shock in the event of contact with overhead electric lines, Consult local regulations for safe distances from overhead electric power lines and ensure that the operating position is safe and secure before operating the tool.HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS DANGER! Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade will result in serious personal injury. ◾ 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. ◾ On machines with a dened transport position (cutting blade folded at against the hedge trimmer shaft): Never start the machine in the transport position, since the blades are not engaged in that position and you therefore cannot visually check to see that they will be stopped at idle when you start to adjust the cutting blade to the desired cutting position (where the blades are engaged). ◾ Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always t the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades. ◾ Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the hedge trimmer. ◾ 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. ◾ Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade. ◾ Check the hedge for foreign objects before operating, e.g. wire fences. ◾ To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, be absolutely sure that the cutting blade is clear of you and all other obstructions and objects, including the ground, because when the tool starts, the motor speed will be fast enough to engaged and move the cutting blade on the tool. ◾ Do not allow other persons in the general work area. Ensure that other people and pets remain at least 15m away from the hedge trimmer when it is in use. ◾ Never allow children to operate the hedge trimmer. ◾ Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss of control and result in serious personal injury. ◾ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Special care must be taken in slippery conditions (wet ground, snow) and in difcult, overgrown terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to avoid fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be extremely cautious when working on slopes or uneven ground. ◾ Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the hedge trimmer in unexpected situations. ◾ Observe the cutting blades at all times – do not cut any area if the hedge that you cannot see. When cutting the top of a taller hedge, check the other side of the hedge frequently for bystanders, animals and obstructions.HEDGE TRIMMER ATTACHMENT — HTA2000 7

◾ Check damaged parts before further use of the hedge trimmer. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. ◾ Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, and worn). Replace the blade only with a blade from EGO

◾ Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked. An unbalanced blade causes vibration that could damage the motor drive unit or cause personal injury. ◾ If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. ◾ The trimmer shall be used to cut stems less than 26mm thick. ◾ Trim only in daylight or in good articial light. ◾ Do not use the battery-operated hedge trimmer in rain.
