ence of alcohol, medications, or drugs.

mable liquids or gases are present.
- Do not operate Pole Trimmer while standing on a
ladder or in a tree.
- Do not operate Pole Trimmer if it is damaged or not
securely and fully assembled.
3. Keep Children Away – Keep all visitors, children and

mer. Never allow children to operate Pole Trimmer.
6. Dress Properly when operating Pole Trimmer

caught in the moving blades or parts of the Pole
Trimmer.
- Always wear rubber gloves and substantial foot
wear when working outside.
- Always wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
- Always wear a face or dust mask if operation is
dusty.
7. Always wear eye protection.
8. Your power tool is not insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never
operate this power tool in the vicinity of any wires or
cables (power, etc.) which may be carrying electric
current. Electricity can jump from one point to another
by means of arcing. Higher voltage increases the
distance electricity can arc. Electricity can also move
through branches, especially if they are wet. Maintain
a clearance of at least 30 feet (10 m) between the
pole trimmer (including any branches it is contacting)
and any electrical line carrying live current. Before
working with less clearance, contact your electric util-
ity and make sure the current is turned off.
9. This power tool has a large range. In order to reduce
the risk of personal or even fatal injury to bystand-
ers from falling objects or inadvertent contact with
the moving blades of your power tool always keep
bystanders at least 30 feet (10 m) away when the
power tool is running.
When using the telescopic hedge trimmer
1. WARNING: Pay attention to what you are doing. Be
careful when using the telescopic hedge trimmer.
2. Avoid leaning out when working with the hedge
trimmer: make sure that your footing and balance is
always secure.
DANGER: Keep hands away from blades at all
times. Keep both hands on handle areas when
Pole Trimmer is on. Do not attempt to remove cut
material nor hold material to be cut when blades are
moving. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades
or cutting edges when picking up or holding the
Pole Trimmer.
CAUTION: The blades are hot after the trimmer has
been switched off.
3. Disconnect Pole Trimmer – Always remove the bat-
tery before inspection and adjustment work:
- when not in use
- before servicing
- when changing accessories such as blades
- when clearing jammed material from blades
- when moving from one worksite to another.
4. Do Not Force Pole Trimmer – It will do the job better
and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for
which it was designed.
5. Make sure the blades are not touching anything be-
fore starting the telescoping hedge trimmer.
Before commissioning
Unpacking
1. Remove the telescoping hedge trimmer and every-
thing else from the packaging.
2. Due to modern mass production techniques, it is
unlikely that your power tool is faulty or that a part is
missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate
the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault
has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
