GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, ïŹre and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term âpower toolâ in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
îKeep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
îDo not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ïŹammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
îKeep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
îPower tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. UnmodiïŹed plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
îAvoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
îDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
îDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
îWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
îIf operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
îStay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the inïŹuence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
îUse 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 reduce personal injuries.
îPrevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your ïŹnger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
îRemove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
îDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
îDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
îIf devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
îDo 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.
îDo 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.
îDisconnect 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.
îStore 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.
îMaintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power toolâs operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Page 3 â English
îDress Properly â Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and substantial footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair. Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves, boots and
gloves. Do not wear sandals or go barefoot.
îUse Safety Glasses â Always wear eye protection with
side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when
operating this product. Wear head protection when op-
erating this equipment above shoulder level.
îDo not use on a ladder, rooftop, or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
îBefore starting the hedge trimmer, make sure the blade
is not in contact with any object.
îIf blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the
blades to stop, and disconnect the plug from the power
source before attempting to remove the obstruction.
îUse non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves when operat-
ing the hedge trimmer and when installing or removing
blades.
îReplace any blade that has been damaged. Always make
sure blade is installed correctly and securely fastened
before each use. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
îStop the unit and make sure the blade has stopped before
setting the unit down.
îAlways stop the motor when cutting is delayed or when
walking from one cutting location to another.
îKeep unit clean of grass clippings and other materials.
They may become lodged in the cutting blades.
îIf hedge trimmer is equipped with a debris remover, do
not use the debris remover as a gripping surface.
îStore the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up or up
high to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of
the reach of children or untrained individuals.
îReplace blade cover when unit is not in use.
îKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
îUse 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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a
knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during
use. Make the knot as shown in ïŹgure 1, then connect the
plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the
extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two
extension cords together.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-
wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the toolâs
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualiïŹed service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replace-
ment parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is nominal 120V/60Hz
AC (typical U.S. household circuit). Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
GFCI
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the prod-
uct. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of safety.
EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 1.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriterâs Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with âW-Aâ or âWâ on the cordâs jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.

CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 5 - 6.
DANGER:
Never cut near electric cords or lines. If blade jams on
any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE!
IT CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY
DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by
the insulated rear handle or lay it down and away from
you in a safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service
to the damaged line or cord before attempting to free
the blade from the line or cord. Contact with the blade,
other conductive parts of the hedge trimmer, or live elec-
tric cords or lines will result in death by electrocution or
serious injury.
WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer handles.
Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate hedge trim-
mer with the other. Improper handling of hedge trimmer
could result in serious injury.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string which
can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a
risk of electric shock and serious personal injury.
îWhen operating the hedge trimmer, keep the extension
cord behind the trimmer. Never drape it over the hedge
being trimmed.
îDo not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery.
This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the
blades slow down, reduce the pace.
Page 10 â English
OPERATION
îDo not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
3/8 in. 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.
WARNING:
If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the
blades to stop, and disconnect the plug from the power
source before attempting to remove the obstruction. Fail-
ure to follow these steps could result in accidental starting
of the hedge trimmer and cause serious personal injury.
îIf desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Stretch a
piece of string along the hedge at the desired height.
Trim the hedge just above the guide line of string. Trim
the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at
the top. More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped
this way, and it will be more uniform.
îWear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action,
so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade.
Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed
easiest by using a sawing movement.
OPERATING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING:
Read the safety information for safe operation using the
blade. Extreme care must be taken when using blades to
ensure safe operation. Refer to Important Safety Instruc-
tions and SpeciïŹc Safety Rules.

erating. Use a ïŹrm grip on the handles. The unit is used
for cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping action
from side to side.
îStand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet.
Do not overreach.
îInspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
îNever use the hedge trimmer near power lines, fencing,
posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.
îNever use a blade after hitting a hard object without ïŹrst
inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is
detected.

AVERTISSEMENT
Lire tous les avertissements et toutes les instructions.
Ne pas suivre lâensemble des avertissements et des
instructions peut entraĂźner une Ă©lectrocution, un incendie
ou des blessures graves.
Conserver les avertissements et les instructions Ă des
ïŹns de rĂ©fĂ©rence ultĂ©rieure. Le terme « outil motorisĂ© »,
utilisé dans tous les avertissements ci-dessous désigne tout
outil fonctionnant sur secteur (cĂąblĂ©) ou sur piles (sans ïŹl).
SĂCURITĂ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL
îGarder le lieu de travail propre et bien Ă©clairĂ©. Les
endroits encombrés ou sombre s sont propices aux
accidents.
îNe pas utiliser dâoutils Ă©lectriques dans des
atmosphÚres explosives, par exemple en présence
de liquides, gaz ou poussiĂšres inïŹammables. Les
outils Ă©lectriques produisent des Ă©tincelles risquant
dâenïŹammer les poussiĂšres ou vapeurs.
îGarder les enfants et badauds Ă lâĂ©cart pendant
lâutilisation dâun outil Ă©lectrique. Les distractions
peuvent causer une perte de contrĂŽle.
SĂCURITĂ ĂLECTRIQUE
îLes ïŹches des outils Ă©lectriques doivent correspondre
Ă la prise secteur utilisĂ©e. Ne jamais modiïŹer la ïŹche,
de quelque façon que ce soit. Ne jamais utiliser
dâadaptateurs de ïŹche avec des outils mis Ă la terre.
Les ïŹches et prises non modiïŹĂ©es rĂ©duisent le risque de
choc Ă©lectrique.
îĂviter tout contact du corps avec des surfaces mises
Ă la terre, telles que tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisiniĂšres et
réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est accru
lorsque le corps est mis Ă la terre.
îNe pas exposer les outils Ă©lectriques Ă lâeau ou
lâhumiditĂ©. La pĂ©nĂ©tration dâeau dans ces outils accroĂźt
le risque de choc Ă©lectrique.
îNe pas maltraiter le cordon dâalimentation. Ne jamais
utiliser le cordon dâalimentation pour transporter
lâoutil et ne jamais dĂ©brancher ce dernier en tirant
sur le cordon. Garder le cordon Ă lâĂ©cart de la chaleur,
de lâhuile, des objets tranchants et des piĂšces en
mouvement. Un cordon endommagĂ© ou emmĂȘlĂ© accroĂźt
le risque de choc Ă©lectrique.
îPour les travaux Ă lâextĂ©rieur, utiliser un cordon
spécialement conçu à cet effet. Utiliser un cordon
conçu pour lâusage extrĂ©rieur pour rĂ©duire les risques
de choc Ă©lectrique.
îSâil est nĂ©cessaire dâutiliser lâoutil Ă©lectrique dans un
endroit humide, employer un dispositif interrupteur de
dĂ©faut Ă la terre (GFCI). Lâutilisation dâun GFCI rĂ©duit le
risque de décharge électrique.
SĂCURITĂ PERSONNELLE
îRester attentif, prĂȘter attention au travail et faire
preuve de bon sens lors de lâutilisation de tout
outil Ă©lectrique. Ne pas utiliser cet outil en Ă©tat de
fatigue ou sous lâinïŹuence de lâalcool, de drogues
ou de mĂ©dicaments. Un moment dâinattention pendant
lâutilisation dâun outil Ă©lectrique peut entraĂźner des
blessures graves.
îUtiliser lâĂ©quipement de sĂ©curitĂ©. Toujours porter une
protection oculaire. LâĂ©quipement de sĂ©curitĂ©, tel quâun
masque ïŹltrant, de chaussures de sĂ©curitĂ©, dâun casque
ou dâune protection auditive, utilisĂ© dans des conditions
appropriées réduira le risque de blessures.
îĂviter les dĂ©marrages accidentels. Sâassurer que
le commutateur est en position dâarrĂȘt avant de
brancher lâoutil. Porter un outil avec le doigt sur son
commutateur ou brancher un outil dont le commutateur
est en position de marche peut causer un accident.
îRetirer les clĂ©s de rĂ©glage avant de mettre lâoutil en
marche. Une clĂ© laissĂ©e sur une piĂšce rotative de lâoutil
peut causer des blessures.
îNe pas travailler hors de portĂ©e. Toujours se tenir
bien campé et en équilibre. Ceci permettra de mieux
contrĂŽler lâoutil en cas de situation imprĂ©vue.
îPorter une tenue appropriĂ©e. Ne porter ni vĂȘtements
amples, ni bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les vĂȘtements
et les gants Ă lâĂ©cart des piĂšces en mouvement. Les
vĂȘtements amples, bijoux et cheveux longs peuvent se
prendre dans les piĂšces en mouvement.
îSi les outils sont Ă©quipĂ©s de dispositifs de
dĂ©poussiĂ©rage, sâassurer quâils sont connectĂ©s et
correctement utilisĂ©s. Lâusage de ces dispositifs de
dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers présentés par
la poussiĂšre.
UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS
ĂLECTRIQUES
îNe pas forcer lâoutil. Utiliser lâoutil appropriĂ© pour
lâapplication. Un outil appropriĂ© exĂ©cutera le travail
mieux et de façon moins dangereuse sâil est utilisĂ© dans
les limites prévues.
îNe pas utiliser lâoutil si le commutateur ne permet
pas de le mettre en marche ou de lâarrĂȘter. Tout outil
qui ne peut pas ĂȘtre contrĂŽlĂ© par son commutateur est
dangereux et doit ĂȘtre rĂ©parĂ©.
îDĂ©brancher lâoutil et/ou retirer le bloc-piles avant
dâeffectuer des rĂ©glages, de changer dâaccessoire ou
de remiser lâoutil. Ces mesures de sĂ©curitĂ© prĂ©ventives
rĂ©duisent les risques de dĂ©marrage accidentel de lâoutil.
