WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure. The declared vibration and noise emission level
represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for
diff erent applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the
vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of
exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when
the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job.
This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the
eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns Before
starting the product, make sure the cutting blades will not come in contact
with anything. While operating the hedge trimmer always hold it fi rmly with
one hand on the handle and ensure that your thumb is wrapped around it. Be
aware to keep your free hand away from the cutting blades. Ensure that the
operating position is safe and secure. The manufacturer does not recommend the
use of steps or ladders. If higher trimming is required, use an extended reach
tool. Blades are sharp. When handling the blade assembly, wear non-slip, heavy
duty protective gloves. Do not place your hand or fi ngers between blades or
in any position where they could get pinched or cut. Never touch the blade nor
service the product unless the battery pack is removed. Do not force the
product through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow
down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace. Do not attempt to cut stems or
twigs that are larger than 19 mm, or those obviously too large to feed into
the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large
stems.Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts
or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is going on in the
working area.
WARNING! If the product is dropped, suff ers heavy impact, or begins to
vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product and inspect for damage or
identify the cause of the vibration. Any damage should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre. Remove the battery pack before
starting any work on the machine. Do not dispose of used battery packs in the
household refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors off er to retrieve
old batteries to protect our environment. Do not store the battery pack
together with metal objects (short circuit risk). Use only System M12 chargers
for charging System M12 battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other
systems. Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or
extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash it off
immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for
at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention. Warning! To reduce
the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit,
never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid
to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc.,
can cause a short circuit.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
- Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
- Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
- The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
- For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after used.
- To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
- For battery pack storage longer than 30 days: Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion Akkus
- In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash,and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
- Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will fl ash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off , the work may continue.
Transport of Lithium Batteries
- Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
- Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local, national and international provisions and regulations.
- The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
- Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
- Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuit.
- Ensure that the battery pack is secured against movement within packaging.
- Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
- Check with the forwarding company for further advice

MAINTENANCE
After each use, clean the body and handles of the product with a soft, dry cloth. After each use, clean the debris from the blades with a stiff brush, and then carefully apply a rust preventative lubricant before refi ttingthe blade protector. The manufacturer recommends you to use a rust preventative and lubricant spray to apply an even distribution and reduce the risk of personal injury from contact with the blades. For information about suitable spray product, please contact one of our Milwaukee service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses). You may wish to lubricate the blades lightly before use if necessary using the above method. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that the machine is in safe working condition.
