For your safety, this tool has a dual switching system. To
turn on the tool, press the push rod and press the switch
handle and the handle button (you can release the push
rod after pressing down on the switch handle). To turn off
the switch, release the switch handle or the button on the
handle. The tool only starts by pulling the switch handle and
the handle button.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
- Be careful not to accidentally meet a metal fence or other
hard objects while trimming. The blade will break and can
cause serious injury.
- Reaching too far with a hedge trimmer, particularly from a
ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not work with anything
that is wobbly or sick.
Do not attempt to cut branches larger than 10mm in dia-
meter with this trimmer. These should first be cut with scis-
sors down to hedge trim level.
CAUTION:
- Do not cut dead trees or similar hard objects.
Failure to do so can damage the tool.
Hold the trimmer with both hands and pull the switch hand-
le and manual button and then move it in front of your body.
As a basic operation, tilt the blades towards the cutting
direction and move them calmly.
To cut the top of a hedge evenly, it helps to tie a string at
the desired height of the hedge and trim it, using it as a
refe rence line.

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power
tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your live
(corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for
the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious
personal injury.
1 Work area
1) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Untidy or dark
areas cause accidents.
2) Do not use in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks that can ignite dust or fumes.
3) Keep children and bystanders away during use. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2 Electrical Safety
1) Never modify the plug. Do not use adapters. Unmodified
plugs and corresponding sockets will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
2) Avoid contact of the body with grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water will increase the risk of electric shock.
