exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger).
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. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations
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.
Hedge trimmer safety warnings - Personal
safety
• Use both hands when operating the hedge
trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss of
control and result in serious personal injury.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving. Make
sure the switch is off when clearing jammed
material. A moment of inattention while operating
the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting
device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter
blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surface only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter
blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool " live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
• DANGER – Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
Safety instructions for extended-reach
hedge trimmers
• Do not use the extended-reach hedge trimmer in
bad weather conditions, especially when there is
a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being
struck by lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use
near any electrical power lines. Contact with or
use near power line may cause serious injury or
electric shock resulting in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the
extended-reach hedge trimmer with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
• Always use head protection when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling
debris can result in serious personal injury.
