Technical documents for *4) - see page 3. 2000/14/EC: Conformity assessment procedures in accordance with Annex V. Measured sound power level *5), guaranteed sound power level *6), - see page 3. For UK only: We as manufacturer and authorized person to compile the technical file, see *4) on page 3, hereby declare under sole responsibility that these hedge trimmer, identified by type and serial number *1) on page 3, fulfill all relevant provisions of following UK Regulations S.I. 2016/1091, S.I. 2008/ 1597, S.I. 2001/1701, S.I: 2012/3032 and Designated Standards EN 62841-1:2015, EN 62841-4-2:2019, EN IEC 63000:2018. The hedge trimmer attachment, in combination with the cordless multifunction drive MA 36-18 LTX BL Q, is designed for cutting hedges and shrubs. Horizontal working near the ground is not allowed. This hedge trimmer attachment pole pruner attachment is intended for attachment to an original Metabo cordless multifunction drive with the designation MA 36-18 LTX BL Q. Use only with the cordless multifunction drive in place. The operating manual for the cordless multidrive must be observed.

Failure to follow all safety warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Pass on your power tool only together with these documents.

4.1 Hedge trimmer safety warnings:

a) 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. b) 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. c) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades. d) When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all power switches are off and the battery pack is removed or disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury. e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. f) 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. g) 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.

4.2 Extended-reach hedge trimmer safety

warnings: a) 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. b) 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. c) Always use head protection when operating the extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal injury.

4.3 Further Safety instructions

Inspect hedges and bushes for wire fences and concealed lines. Persons under the age of 16 must not used the hedge trimmer. Never use an incomplete tool, or one on which an unauthorised modification has been made. Do not switch on the tool if parts or guard devices are missing or defective. The machine features safety two-hand operation. Have the machine repaired if it can be activated with only one switch. The machine is provided with a "Quick stop" function. Have the machine repaired if braking time is clearly lengthened. Always hold the machine with both hands and stand firmly on the ground. The hedge trimmer is intended for work where the operator stands on the ground and not on a ladder or any other unstable floor space. Pay attention to obstacles in the working area - danger of tripping. Keep the cutting blade well away from the body. Examine the area to be cut and remove wire or other foreign bodies. If the cutting blades come to a standstill due to a particularly hard branch or foreign body (wire in a hedge) and the stoppage cannot be corrected by pulling the machine back, the motor must first be switched off and the battery pack removed from the machine before the cause of the blockage can be removed manually from the cutting blade. For other activities (e.g. removing twigs or cuttings), deposit the machine outside the working area. Lay the machine down such that persons are not at risk. Remove the battery pack from the machine when not in use. Remove battery packs from the machine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill before making any adjustments, retrofitting, maintenance, cleaning or before storing the machine. For storage and transportation, always slide the enclosure onto the cutting blades. (It has been slid on correctly if the Metabo lettering faces upwards). Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Danger of injury from the sharp edges of the blades. Never touch the blades. Wear protective gloves. Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and suitable shoes when working with the hedge trimmer. Always use only 1 shoulder strap. Keep at least 15 m distance to uninvolved persons. Additional safety instructions in the operating manual for the cordless multifunction drive must be observed.

Wear safety goggles. Wear ear protectors. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing. Wear head protection. Falling pieces can cause serious injury. Wear gloves. Wear non-slip foot protection. Read the operating instructions. DANGER- Keep hands away from the blade. WARNING – General hazards! DANGER – Always keep sufficient distance to power lines. WARNING! Unintentional start-up can cause serious injuries. Before setting, cleaning or maintenance: Switch off the machine, remove the battery packs. Protect the device from water and moisture. Do not expose to rain. Never use in rain or on wet hedges. See page 2. 1 Impact protection with twig feed 2Blades 3 Protective sheath for blade 4 Adjustment lever 5Locking lever 6Rod
