• The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

*Work Area Safety

• K

eep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• P

ower 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 the risk of electric shock.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

• 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

• S

tay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool if 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.

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

• D

o not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at the

rate for which it was designed.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Maintain power tools. 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.

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

• 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.

Battery Tool Use and Care

• R

echarge 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.

• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, such as 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.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If the liquid

contacts eyes, seek medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

• H

ave 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.

Starting and Stopping the Hedge Trimmer

The hedge trimmer has two switches, and a lock-off button used together to prevent accidental start-ups.

1. Place one hand on the front handle (3). Press the button on the handle (4) and hold.

2. Push the lock-off button (5) forward with the thumb of your other hand, then squeeze the trigger (6) to start

the hedge trimmer.

3. Release the lock-off button. The hedge trimmer will stay on as long as both the front and rear switches are

squeezed.

4. The hedge trimmer will stop if you release either the front button or rear trigger.

Using the Hedge Trimmer

Warning: Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or

loose string that could become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal

injury.

•

Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance, and do not overreach. Wear safety

goggles, non-skid footwear, and rubber gloves.

•

Hold the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always use the hedge trimmer

properly.

•

Do not trim too much at one time. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down, reducing cutting

efficiency.

•

Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down.

If the blades slow down, reduce the pace of your work.

•

Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 3/4" thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim

larger stems.

•

When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting

blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed most easily by using a sawing movement.

•

Always hold the hedge trimmer with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on the handles. The unit is

used for cutting in either direction with a slow, sweeping action from side to side.

Lithium Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 3 Battery Care Requirements

1. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of this the

battery must be charged for 1.5 hours on the initial charge and 1.5 hours for each subsequent

charge.

2. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will

permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of time, fully

charge the battery before storing.

3. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the unit

when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

•

For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the

charger.

•

If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining

when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a

new battery.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the

battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles,

whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully

recharged again.

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat, for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store

batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding batteries

can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury

may result.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the

battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local

regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being

reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating, or fire may result.

Maintenance

General

•

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. The use of any other parts may create a hazard or

cause product damage.

•

Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., to come into contact

with plastic parts at any time. These substances contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy

plastic.

•

DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage tools as well as the workplace.

•

Do not attempt to modify or create accessories not recommended for use with the charger. Any such

alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition, leading to possible serious

personal injury.

Cleaning

•

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various

types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,

grease, etc.

Warning: Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in

contact with plastic parts. These chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic, which may result in

serious personal injury.

•

Electric tools used on fibreglass material, wallboard, speckling compounds, or plaster are subject to

accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fibreglass chips and grindings are highly

abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended to use this tool for

extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is

extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.

Sharpening the Cutting Blade

1. Start and stop your hedge trimmer until the cutter blade and the guard are slightly offset. This will allow

clearance for the file between cutter teeth and guard teeth.

2. Remove the battery pack from your hedge trimmer.

3. Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and file the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth. Remove as

little material as possible. Be sure to retain the original angle of each tooth when filing.

4. Remove the hedge trimmer from the vise, restart it, and stop it to expose the unsharpened edges of the

blade teeth.

5. Remove the battery pack and repeat the sharpening procedure above.
