■
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a
clear view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
■
Ensure all handles and guards are fitted when using
the hedge trimmer. Never attempt to use an incomplete
hedge trimmer or one fitted with an unauthorised
modification.
■
Ensure before each use that all controls and safety
devices function correctly. Do not use the product if the
"off" switch does not stop the product.
■
Inspect the product before each use. Check for loose
fasteners. Make sure all guards and handles are
properly and securely attached. Replace any damaged
parts before use. Check for battery pack leaks.
■
Do not modify the product in any way.
■
Wear full eye and hearing protection while operating the
product. If working in an area where there is a risk of
falling objects, head protection must be worn.
■
Wear heavy, long trousers, boots, and gloves. Do not
wear loose fitting clothing, short trousers, jewellery of
any kind, or use with bare feet.
■
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
■
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.
■
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk
of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to
enter your working area.
■
Do not use the product when you are tired, ill, or under
the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
■
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance and can
result in serious injury.
■
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
■
Before starting the product, make sure the cutting
blades will not come in contact with anything.
■
While operating the hedge trimmer, always hold it firmly
with both hands by the two handles. 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 fingers between blades or in any
position where they could get pinched or cut. Never
touch the blade or service the products unless the
battery pack is removed or the product has been
disconnected from any power supply.
■
Switch off and remove the battery pack or disconnect
from the power supply. Make sure all move parts have
come to a complete stop:
●
before leaving the product unattended
●
before cleaning or clearing a blockage
●
before adjusting the working position of the cutting
means
●
before checking, conducting maintenance, or
working on the product
■
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
22 mm
thick, or those obviously too large to feed
into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.
■
Do not operate the product with damaged or excessively
worn blades.
WARNING
If the product is dropped, suffers 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.
■
Electrical power should be supplied via a residual
current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more
than 30 mA.
■
If you need to use an extension cable, ensure it is
suitable for outdoor use and has a current capacity
sufficient to supply your product. Check it before every
use for damage. Always uncoil it during use because
coiled cables can overheat.
■
Before every use, examine the supply cord for damage.
If there are signs of damage, it must be replaced by
a qualified person at an authorised service centre to
avoid a hazard.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The product has an overload protection device that is
activated when overheating or when a current spike occurs,
automatically shutting down power within the product. To
resume operation, disconnect the product from the power
supply, wait for about 15 minutes, and reconnect the
product to the power supply.
