General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all in-

structions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-

ence.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-

ated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

f Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

f Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-

pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-

uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

f Keep children and bystanders away while operat-

ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

Electrical safety

f Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt-

er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce

risk of electric shock.

f Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re-

frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

f Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

f Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-

rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving

parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the

risk of electric shock.

f 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.

f If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-

avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk

of electric shock.

Personal safety

f 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.

f 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 re-

duce personal injuries.

f Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the off-position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carry-

ing the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger

on the switch or energising power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

f Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-

ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at-

tached to a rotating part of the power tool may re-

sult in personal injury.

f Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

f 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.

f If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these

are connected and properly used. Use of dust col-

lection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

f Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow-

er tool for your application. The correct power

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.

f 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.

f Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool be-

fore making any adjustments, changing accesso-

ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive safe-

ty measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

f Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren 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.

f 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.

f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

f 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 opera-

tions different from those intended could result in

a hazardous situation.

Service

f Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-

pair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

Hedge trimmer safety warnings

f Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter

blade. Do not remove cut material nor hold mate-

rial 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.

f Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the

cutter blade stopped. When transporting or stor-

ing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting de-

vice cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer

will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter

blades.

f Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfac-

es only, because the cutter blade may contact

hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades con-

tacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts

of the power tool “live” and could give the operator

an electric shock.

f Keep cable away from cutting area. During opera-

tion the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be

accidentally cut by the blade.

Additional safety warnings

f This tool is not intended for use by persons (in-

cluding children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervi-

sion or instruction concerning use of the appliance

by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the appliance.

f When working with the machine, always hold it

firmly with both hands and provide for a secure

stance. The power tool is guided more secure with

both hands.

f Wait until the machine has come to a standstill

before placing it down.
