X The declared total vibration value and the declared noise emission value may also be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING! X The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared values depending on the manner in which the tool is used, especially what kind of workpiece is processed. X It is necessary to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time). Safety instructions z General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! X Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. Work area safety

1) Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.31GB/IE Electrical safety

1) 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2) 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.

3) Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4) 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.

5) 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.

6) If operating a power tool in a

damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Personal safety

1) 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2) Use personal protective

equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3) Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off- position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.32 GB/IE

4) Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

5) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

8) Do not let familiarity gained from

frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second. Power tool use and care

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) Disconnect the plug from the

power source and / or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4) Store idle power tools out of

the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.33GB/IE

5) Maintain power tools and

accessories. 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 maintained power tools.

6) Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

8) Keep handles and grasping

surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations. Battery tool use and care

1) Recharge only with the charger

specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

2) Use power tools only with

specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

3) When a battery pack is not in use,

keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

4) Under abusive conditions,

liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

5) Do not use a battery pack

for tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

6) Do not expose a battery pack

or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.34 GB/IE

7) Follow all charging instruction

and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instruction. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of the fire. Service

1) Have your power tool serviced

by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

2) Never service damaged battery

packs. Service of battery packs should be only be performed by the manufactured or authorized service providers. z Special safety directions for hedge trimmers

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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.

5) 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.

6) 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.

7) 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.

8) Before the work, search the hedge

for concealed objects, e.g. wire fences, cable etc. In this way you avoid damage to the appliance.35GB/IE

9) Hold the hedge trimmer correctly,

e.g. with both hands on the handles, if there are two handles. Loss of control of the equipment may result in injuries. z Further safety directions

1) The appliance is designed for

trimming hedges. Do not use to cut twigs, hard wood or other objects. This could damage the appliance.

2) Do not attempt to release a

blocked/jammed blade safety bar before turning off the power and removing the battery. There is a risk of injury.

3) When operating the appliance,

always hold it well with both hands and at some distance away from your body. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

4) Do not use the tool in the

vicinity of flammable liquids or gasses. Fire- and explosion risk exist in the event of a short circuit.

5) The blades have to be checked for

wear in regular intervals and re- sharpened. Blunt blades will overload the machine. Resulting damages are not covered by warranty.

6) Do not attempt to repair the tool

yourself, unless you are schooled in this field. All works, which are not described in this manual, may only be performed by our Service- Centre. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment.

7) Do not use any accessories

that are not recommended by PARKSIDE. This can result in electric shock or fire.

8) Work standing on the ground and

keep your balance. Do not work while standing on unstable support. z Vibration and noise reduction To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit the time of operation, use low- vibration and low-noise operating modes as well as wear personal protective equipment.

CAUTION! RISK OF PRODUCT

DAMAGE! X Before use, check that the edge of the safety knife bar [2] is sharp. A blunt edge can overstress and damage the product. Damages caused by cutting with a blunt edge are not covered by the warranty (see “Maintenance”). z Cutting techniques Before operating the product: Use branch clippers to cut away thick branches. The safety knife bar [2] enables cutting in both directions. Vertical cutting: Move the product uniformly forward or up and down (Fig. E). Horizontal cutting: – Tilt the product so that the safety blade shaft [2] is pointing downwards by approx. 0 to 10° in cutting direction. With the product in this position, move the product horizontally — not downwards (Fig. H). – Move the product in a sickle-shaped movement to the edge of the hedge, so that cut branches fall to the ground. To produce long straight lines: Place guiding cords as an aid for orientation. Cutting shaped hedges Cut hedges in a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent stripping off the lower branches (Fig. G). This corresponds to natural plant growth and allows the hedge to thrive. When cutting, only reduce new annual growth. This facilitates a dense branching. Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do this, move the product in the direction of growth from bottom to top. If you cut down from the top, the thinner branches will move out, which may result in some areas having sparse growth or holes. Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded shape (Fig. F).41GB/IE When trimming young plants to the required shape: The main growth should remain undamaged until the hedge has reached the planned height. Cutting free-growing hedges Trim the hedge regularly so that it grows densely and does not become too high. z Cleaning and care
