Parts Overview

GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY WARNINGS
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term  power tool in the warnings refers to your mains-operated corded power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep 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

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. 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 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. Use of 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

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not overreach.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• 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.

Power tool use and care

• 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.
• 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

• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
• Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When 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.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
• If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
• liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
• Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

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.

The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING
The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependent on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used: How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool being in good condition and well maintained The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition. The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used. And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not

adequately managed

WARNING
To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated where appropriate. If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

OPERATION|

HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

Before cutting an area, inspect it first and remove any foreign objects that could become thrown or entangled in the blades. Always hold the trimmer with both hands and with the blade away from you before turning it on. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into the blade.
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before cutting. When operating, keep the cutting blades away from people and objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles, etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the trimmer. Release the two Switch Levers before attempting to clear jammed debris from the cutting blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick for the cutting blade.

Top cutting

Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results.

Side cutting

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards, tapering the hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth
