• The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. Wear hearing protection such
as earplugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing. Long-term and regular users are advised to
have hearing checked regularly. Be especially vigilant and cautious when wearing ear protection
because your ability to hear alarm warnings will be reduced.
• Noise emissions for this equipment is unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at approved times and
for certain periods. Limit the working time to a minimum. For your personal protection and
protection of people working nearby it is also advisable for them to wear hearing protection.
• See Certificate of Conformity section for Outdoor Noise declaration of conformity.
• Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the effects of/from
vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or carpal tunnel
syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate temperature,
causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue
death.
• Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking and other
diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large and long-lasting impact
of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white finger. Note the following to reduce the
risk of white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome;
- Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
- Take regular breaks.
• All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule out
the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended to observe
the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical attention immediately if any of the above
symptoms should occur.

• 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.
• Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 15mm thick, or those obviously too large to
feed into the cutting blade. Use a hand saw or pruning cutters to trim large stems.
• An easy way to keep your hedge level is to run a string line guide. Stretch a piece of string
along the hedge just below your intended cutting line. Trim the hedge just above this guide line.
• Trim the side of a hedge so that it tapers slightly towards the top (the hedge will be slightly
wider at the bottom than at the top. This improves the strength of the hedge and allows more
light to reach the leaves.
• If the blades do become jammed, release the trigger switch and allow the blades to stop.
Remove the battery pack before attempting to remove the obstruction.
• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
• 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 easiest by using a
sawing movement.

varying changes in temperature. DO NOT store a machine that has not been given time to fully
cool down. Store the machine in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
4. Store the battery and the unit separately. Charge the battery before storing the unit in winter.
5. DO NOT stack other items on top of the machine when in storage.
6. Keep the unit, in particular its plastic components, away from brake fluids, petrol, petroleum
products, penetrating oil, etc. They contain chemical substances which may damage, attack
or destroy the plastic components of the unit. To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals
and de-icing salts.
7. Always fit the blade cover over the blade before storage. This will protect the blades from
damage and prevent injury on the sharp blades.
