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.

POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
◾ Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the pole saw is operating. Before you start the pole saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating pole saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chain. ◾ Avoid unintentional contact with the stationary saw chain or guide bar rails. These can be very sharp. Always wear gloves and long pants or chaps when handling the pole saw, saw chain, or guide bar. ◾ Always hold the pole saw with your one hand on the rear handle and your other hand on the front handle. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or bystanders can result from one-handed operation. ◾ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. ◾ Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain. ◾ Do not operate a pole saw in a tree. Operation of a pole saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury. ◾ Always keep proper footing and operate the pole saw only when standing on xed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the pole saw. ◾ Never operate a pole saw that is damaged or improperly adjusted or that is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the trigger switch is released. ◾ Inspect the work piece for nails, wire, or other foreign objects prior to cutting. ◾ When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood bers is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the pole saw out of control. ◾ Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. ◾ Aggressive or abusive cutting or misuse of the pole saw can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear, as well as broken chain or bar, leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of material. ◾ Never use the guide bar as a lever. A bent guide bar can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear, as well as a broken chain or bar, leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of material.POLE SAW ATTACHMENT — PSA1000 7
◾ Carry the pole saw with two hands on the handles, with the pole saw switched off. When transporting or storing the pole saw always t the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pole saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain. ◾ 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. Saw chain continues to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the pole pruner may result in serious personal injury. ◾ Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback. Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. ◾ Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control. ◾ Cut wood only. Do not use pole saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use pole saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the pole saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation. ◾ Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning. ◾ Stop the motor and remove the battery pack whenever you leave the tool. ◾ Store Idle Appliances Indoors. When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up place with the battery pack removed, out of reach of children. ◾ Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the product, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation.

TO START/STOP THE TOOL
See “STARTING/STOPPING THE POWER HEAD” section in the power head PH1400E operator’s manual. BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE (Fig. E & F) Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth saw ing motion.1. Make a shallow rst cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the underside of the limb close to the main limb or trunk.2. Make a second cut from the top side of the limb outboard from the rst cut. Continue the cut through the limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be prepared to balance the weight of the tool when the limb falls.3. Make a nal cut close to trunk. NOTICE: For second and nal cuts (from top of limb or branch), hold the bucking spikes against the limb being cut (Fig. F). This will help steady the limb and make it easier to cut with light downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or motor can result in.4. Release the trigger on the power head as soon as the cut is com pleted. NOTICE: Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will result in the bar and chain binding and becom ing pinched or trapped in the limb. If this should happen:1. Stop the motor and remove the battery pack. 2. If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the limb while holding the saw. This should release the “pinch” and free the saw. 3. If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.
This pole saw attachment is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 20cm in diameter. For best results, observe the following precautions.1. Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall.
WARNING: Branches may fall in unexpected
directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being cut. 2. The most typical cutting application is to posi tion the unit at an angle of 60° or less (Fig. G). As the angle of the pole saw shaft to the ground increases, the difculty of making the rst cut (from the underside of limb) increases. 3. Remove long branches in several stages. 4. Cut lower branches rst to allow the top branch es more room to fall. 5. Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a rm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance. 6. Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dan-gerous. Leave such operations for professionals.7. Do not make the ush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off much of limb to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will prevent stripping the bark from the main member. 8. Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking. 9. To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 15m of overhead electrical lines and keep bystanders at least 15m away (Fig. G). MAINTENANCE
