GENERAL WARNINGS FOR THE SAFETY OF POWER TOOLS

Warning! Read all safety warnings, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fi re or serious injury.

EN

Keep all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" used in warnings applies to all tools driven by power both wired and wireless.

Workplace safety

Keep the workplace well-lit and clean. Disorder and poor lighting can be causes of accidents.

Do not work with power tools in an environment with an increased risk of explosion, containing flammable liquids, gases or vapors. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite dust or fumes.

Children and third persons should not be allowed to enter the workplace. Loss of concentration can result in loss of control.

Electrical safety

The plug of the electric cable must match the power socket. You must not modify the plug in any way. Do not use any plug adapters with earthed power tools. An unmodified plug that fits the outlet reduces the risk of electric shock.

Avoid contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators and coolers. Grounding the body increases the risk of electric shock.

Do not expose power tools to contact with atmospheric precipitation or moisture. Water and moisture that gets inside the power tool increases the risk of electric shock.

Do not overload the power cable. Do not use the power cord to carry, pull or unplug the power plug from the power outlet.

Avoid contact of the power cable with heat, oils, sharp edges and moving parts. Damage or entanglement of the power cord increases the risk of electric shock.

In the case of working outside closed rooms, use extension cords intended for work outside closed rooms. The use of an extension cord adapted for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

When using a power tool in a humid environment is unavoidable as a protection against supply voltage use a residual current device (RCD). The use of RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, pay attention to what you do and keep common sense while working with the power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or medication. Even a moment of inattention while working can lead to serious personal injury.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings

Keep all body parts away from the blade. Do not remove the cut material or hold the cut material while the blades are in motion. The blades continue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment's inattention when operating a hedge trimmer can cause serious injury.

Carry the hedge trimmer by holding the handle with the blade stopped and being careful not to use any power switch.

Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce the risk of unintentional triggering and resulting injury from the blades.

When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the blade guard. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce the risk of injury from the blades.

When removing blocked material or servicing the tool, make sure all power switches are turned off and the power cord is unplugged. Unexpected activation of the hedge trimmer when removing blocked material or servicing can cause serious injury.

Hold the hedge trimmer only by the insulated handles, as the blade may come into contact with concealed electrical wires or its own power cord. Contact of the blades with a live wire can result in exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer becoming energised and give the operator an electric shock.

Keep wires and power cords away from the cutting area. Power cords or cables can be hidden in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.

Do not use hedge trimmers in poor weather conditions, especially if there is a risk of lightning. This avoids the risk of being struck by lightning.

Safety warnings for extended reach hedge trimmers

To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use extended reach hedge trimmers near electrical lines. Contact or use near power lines can cause serious injury or electric shock leading to death.

Always use both hands when operating an extended reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended reach hedge trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control.

Always wear head protection when operating extended reach overhead hedge trimmers. Falling debris can cause serious injury.

PRODUCT HANDLING

Trimmer preparation to work

Note! Prior to any assembly and adjustment operations disconnect the trimmer from power supply. Dismantle the battery from the socket of power tool!

Before first use mount both parts of the trimmer.

Make sure that blades have been protected by sliding over the guide rail. Lift the clamp lever (II), and then slide the part with a switch into a clamp of the part with blades. If clips placed on the switch cover are visible in clamp's slot this indicates that the connection may be protected by lowering the clamp lever (II). Make sure the trimmer parts would not disconnect during operation.

Before connecting the trimmer to mains check its technical condition. If any damages are found, it is forbidden to connect the trimmer to power source before removal of damages.

Adjustment operations

Setting the length of device is possible upon pulling the lock lever (III) and then adjusting the length of the device and clamping the lock lever. Smooth adjustment of length of the device is possible to the extent restricted by movement limiters.

Behind the front handle there is a clamp that allows attaching the carrying strap, second clip is located on the cover nearby the switch. Clip of carrying strap should be attached to clamp and clip (IV) so that the clip lock protects the tool against accidental release during operation.

The strap should be put on in such a way that it leans on one shoulder and then obliquely entangles the operator's chest allowing attachment of the device at the height of hips (V).

Preparation of work place

Before the start of cutting with the trimmer, properly prepare the work place to minimize the risk of hazards that are associated with the work with trimmer. Make sure that only authorised persons stay within the area of work place.

Make sure there is good visibility at the place of work, and be particularly careful when working under difficult field conditions, e.g. on a sloped terrain.

It is forbidden to start the work during atmospheric precipitations and in case of high air humidity, e.g. fog.

Put on protective clothing and personal safety equipment.

Avoid cutting wires, young trees and wooden beams.

Take into account that branches that have been cut and plant residues while falling down may rebound or be clogged up between

EN

other branches. Prepare the escape route in case of a risk of falling branches or plant residues. The escape route should be free from any obstacles also in the course of work. If in the course of work obstacles emerge along the escape route, they should be removed before re-staring the work.

Due to possibility of work with extension arm, make sure that a trimmer does not get in contact with power, telephone lines etc. Cutting or hooking such line may result in electric shock.

Adjustment of angle of cutting head (VI)

Trimmer's cutting head is capable of tilting towards the grip handle. This facilitates e.g. forming the upper part of the hedge.

Change of angle of cutting head is possible after pressing both lock buttons at the same time, holding them down and then changing the angle. The head may be locked in few positions. Make sure that the head was locked in new position, and both lock buttons returned to stand-by position.

Connecting the tool to power supply (VII)

Plug the battery to mains with contacts inside the tool and upward, until battery latches are tripped. Make sure the battery would not slip off during operation.

Disconnect the battery by pressing both latches and then slip the battery off from the cover of the device.

Starting the trimmer (VIII)

Remove the cover of trimmer's blades.

Grab the trimmer with your two hands, one hand holding front handle, the other one holding rear handle.

Make sure that blades are not touching any object and the surface.

Press and hold down with your finger the switch lock button located at the grip handle.

Press the switch and hold it in this position. Lock button may be released.

Before you start cutting wait till the engine reaches full speed and make sure that blades operate smoothly. In case any suspicious sounds or vibrations are detected, immediately stop the device by releasing the switch.

Switching off the device is done by releasing the pressure onto the switch.

After blades stop, the device should be disconnected from power supply and subject to maintenance.

Working with trimmer

Do not let the device operate with low rotational speed or during the start.

The work is most effective, when cutting is done by making full and wide movements. For higher efficiency you may tilt the blades at 5 - 10° angle in direction of cutting (IX).

To have even height of the hedge you may use a string stretched along the line of cutting. Cut the part of hedge above the string. Vertical cutting of hedge is possible. It is recommended to cut moving the trimmer from the bottom to the top, and then from the top to the bottom to utilize two sides of blades (X).

Useful tips when working

Take care of your balance and proper posture during work. Pay special attention during work on slippery, sloped or uneven ground.

Observe blades continuously during work. Cutting in places out of sight should not be carried out.

Before the work thoroughly inspect the work place and remove any loose branches and residues after previous cutting. Be particularly careful when processing high hedges. Before the work inspect also other side of the hedge.

The cover of trimmer's gear becomes hot during work. To prevent scald, avoid any contact with gear's cover.

During work make regular brakes. While operating, the device emits noise and vibrations, that affect the operator of the equipment. Making regular brakes and use of personal safety equipment such as gloves, ear and eye protectors allow reducing any effect of device operation on operator's physical condition.

Start the work when you are in good health conditions and fit. In case of occurrence of sickness, headache, vision disorder (e.g. reduced field of view), hearing disorder, dizziness, immediately stop the work with the device.

In case of trimmer jamming in the course of work, switch it off immediately using a switch and disconnect the battery, wait until trimmer components cool down completely, and then start removing the cause of jamming.

If in the course of jamming any element of blades or cover is damaged or deformed, replace it or repair it, before continuing the work.

Safety recommendations for battery loading

Attention! Before loading may start make sure the body of the charger, the cable and the plug are not broken or damaged. It is prohibited to use a damaged loading dock and charger! For the purpose of loading batteries only the charging dock and the charger provided may be used. Using another charger may be a cause of fire or damage the tool. Batteries may be charged only in a dry room, protected from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Do not use the charging dock and the charger without permanent supervision of an adult! If it is necessary to leave the room where loading is taking place, it is required to disconnect the charger from the mains, removing the charger from the mains socket. In case when smoke comes out of the charger, or a strange

EN

smell is emitted, etc., it is required to immediately remove the plug of the charger from the mains socket!

The drill and automatic return screwdriver is provided with an unloaded battery, so before work may commence, it is required to charge it following the procedure below, using the charger and charging dock provided. Li-ION batteries do not show the so called “memory effect”, so it is allowed to charge them at any moment. However, it is recommended to discharge them during normal work, and then load them to their full capacity. If due to the nature of the task it is not possible to do so each time, then it is required to do it at least from time to time. Under no circumstances is it allowed to discharge the batteries short-circuiting the electrodes, since this would cause irreversible damage! It is also prohibited to check the load of the batteries, short-circuiting the electrodes for sparking.

Storage of the battery

In order to prolong the life of the battery, it is required to provide adequate storage conditions. The batteries can go through approximately 500 „loading - discharging" cycles. The battery must be stored between 0 and 30^ , at the relative humidity of 50% . In order to store the battery for a prolonged period, it is required to charge it to approximately 70% of its capacity. In case of prolonged storage, it is required to recharge the battery once a year. Do not permit excessive discharging of the battery, since this would reduce its life and may cause irreversible damage.

During storage, the battery will be gradually unloading due to leakage conductance. The process of automatic unloading depends on the temperature of storage, since the higher the temperature, the fastest the process. In case of incorrect storage of batteries, there is a danger of electrolyte leakage. In case of leakage, it is required to protect the leakage with neutralizing agent. In case of contact of electrolyte with the eyes, it is required to rinse the eyes abundantly, and then immediately seek medical assistance. It is prohibited to use a tool with a damaged battery.

In case the battery is completely worn out, it is required to deposit it at a special point dedicated to disposal of such waste.

Transport of the batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are in accordance with legal regulations treated as dangerous waste. The user of the tool may transport the tool with the battery or only batteries by land. Then no additional conditions must be complied with. In transport is realised by third parties (for example dispatch through courier service), then it is required to proceed in accordance with regulations for transport of dangerous materials. Before shipment, contact an authorised person.

It is prohibited to transport damaged batteries. During transport the battery must be removed from the tool, and the exposed contacts protected, e.g. with insulating tape. Protect the batteries so that they do not move inside the package during transport. It is also required comply with the national regulations for transport of dangerous materials.

Charging the battery

Attention! Before charging you should disconnect the charger from the mains by unplugging the power supply plug from the mains. In addition, you should clean the battery and its terminals of dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.

The battery has a built-in charge indicator. When you press the button, LEDs will light up (XI), the more LEDs will light up, the more fully the battery pack is charged. If the button is pressed and the LEDs are off it means that the battery is discharged.

Disconnect the battery from the tool.

Push the battery in the charger socket (XI).

Plug the charger into a mains socket.

When the red LED lights up, it means the loading process.

When charging is complete, the red LED goes off, and green LED lights up, indicating a full charge of the battery.

Unplug the charger from the mains outlet.

Remove the battery from the charging station, by pressing the battery latch button.

Attention! If, when the charger is connected to the power supply, the green LED is on, this indicates a fully charged battery. In this case, the charger does not start charging.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Note! Prior to any action described below disconnect the trimmer from the power source. Tools supplied from mains should be unplugged, for battery driven tools, the battery should be disconnected.

After each use, check the condition of the tool paying particular attention to patency of ventilation slots.

Check the position of all tool components. Possibly tighten any loose bolted connection. Check the condition of blades. Clean them with a brush and then preserve using lubricant agent in spray. The excess of lubricant agent to be wiped out. In case of any damages or blade blunting, replace them in an authorised service point.

It is forbidden to use trimmer with damaged blades.

Take care that the blades are always lubricated. This will prevent corrosion which lowers the capacity of a tool, and may also increase the risk of injuries. The clearance between blades should be between 0.2 and 0.4 mm counted at the location of screw bonding two blades.

Blades are sharpened in the factory in order to attain the optimum capacity of operation, but they become blunt due to work. Prior to each job check the condition of blades. If the upper edge of blade becomes round or rounding of lower part of the blade dis-

EN

appears, you need to have blades sharpened (XII). Sharpening should be carried out in manufacturer's authorised service point. Before storing the trimmer for a longer period of time, spray the blades with preserving fluid or distribute it along blades using a brush. The excess of preserving fluid remove immediately before the work. Such maintenance will reduce the risk of blade corrosion.

The tool housing should be cleaned using a soft dry cloth. The housing should be cleaned from wooden residues, oil, lubricant and other dirt. The device to be stored in dry, contained room, disconnected from mains.

The device should be stored in a shaded, dry places equipped with proper ventilation preventing condensation of steam. The place should be inaccessible for third parties, children in particular. When storing, the guide rail and chain should always be protected by cover.
