Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tool may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as safety glasses, a
dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, and hearing
protection, when used for appropriate conditions, will reduce
the possibility of personal injuries.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF position before connecting to the power source/battery
charger, or before picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or charging power
tools with the switch ON can lead to accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before starting the
power tool. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Dangling articles such as these can become caught in
moving parts. Using work gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear
a protective hair covering to contain long hair.
7. Use dust-reducing equipment (e.g. dust masks) when
available. Using these devices can greatly reduce
dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1. Do not force the appliance. It will do the job better with
less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it
was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing
the power tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle appliances indoors. When not in use, appliances
should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up
place out of the reach of children.
5. Maintain appliance with care. 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.
6. Keep cutting blades sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting blades with sharp edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular use of the power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Using
the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
8. 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
product may result in serious personal injury.
9. Carry the product by the handle with the cutter blade
stopped. When transporting or storing the product, always fit
the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the product will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
10. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutter
blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
11. Check the hedge for foreign objects before operation,
e.g. wire fences. Take care that the cutting device does not
come into contact with wire or other metal objects.
12. Hold the product properly, e.g. with both hands if two
handles are provided. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
