◾ Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning. ◾ Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade. ◾ Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment will reduce the risk of hearing loss. ◾ Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. ◾ Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Blades continue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury. ◾ When clearing jammed material or servicing the hedge trimmer, make sure all power switches are off and the power cord is disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury. ◾ Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade stopped and taking care not to operate any power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from the blades. ◾ When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.

EXTENDED-REACH HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY

WARNINGS ◾ Always use head protection when operating the extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal injury. ◾ Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control. ◾ To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the extended-reach hedge trimmer near any electrical power lines. Contact with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death. ◾ Check the hedge for foreign objects before operating, e.g. wire fences and hidden wiring. ◾ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only. ◾ The hedge trimmer is intended to be used by the operator at ground level and not on ladders or any other unstable support ◾ Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed in Fig.A2

DANGER: Never cut near power lines, electric

cords, or other electric sources. If the cutting blades jam on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE OR THE ALUMINUM POLE! THEY CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND MAY BE VERY DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the hedge trimmer attachment by the insulated handle or lay it down and away from you in a safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service to the damaged line or cord before attempting to free the blade from the line or cord. Contact with the blade, other conductive parts of the hedge trimmer attachment, or live electric cords or lines will result in death by electrocution or serious injury.56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION HEDGE TRIMMER ATTACHMENT — PTX51008

WARNING: Always use two hands when operating

the extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended- reach hedge trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control. Following the instructions in the section “HOLDING THE TELESCOPIC POWER POLE” in PPX1000 operator’s manual WORKING TECHNIQUES Horizontal Cutting (with cutting head at an angle) Cut close to the ground from a standing position, e.g. for trimming low shrubs. Swing the cutting head right and left as you move along the hedge-use both sides of the blades and do not rest the cutter blade on the ground (Fig. H) Horizontal Cutting (with straight cutting head) Hold the cutting head at an angle of 0°as you slowly swing the hedge trimmer horizontally. Swing the cutting head in an arc towards the outsides of the hedge so that the cuttings are swept to the ground (Fig. I). Recommendation: Cut hedges that are no more than chest height in this working position. Vertical Cutting (cutting head at an angle) Cutting without standing directly next to the hedge, e.g. owerbed between operator and hedge. In this cutting position, for your better control of the hedge trimmer, it is recommended that connect the hedge trimmer with the cutting head at the side cutting position. Swing the cutting head up and down in an arc as you move along the hedge – use both sides of the cutting blade (Fig. J). Vertical Cutting (with straight cutting head) Extra long reach without the need for other aids. Swing the cutting head up and down in an arc as you move along the hedge – use both sides of the cutting blade (Fig. k). Overhead Cutting (with cutting head at an angle) Hold the hedge trimmer vertically and swing it in an arc to make maximum use of its reach (Fig. L1&L2). For extreme high hedge, the extension pole is suitable for aids in trimming.

WARNING: Any working position above head height

is tiring. To minimize the risk of accidents, work in such positions for short periods only. Set angle of adjustable cutting head to maximum so that the tool can be held in a lower, less tiring position (with shoulder strap) while still providing adequate reach.

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts. Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION HEDGE TRIMMER ATTACHMENT — PTX5100 9
