can get 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 con-
tain long hair.
- Always wear a face or dust mask if operation
is dusty.
7. Always wear eye protection.
8. Use only electrical voltage noted on model
name-plate on Pole Trimmer.
Extension Cord: Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your Pole Trim-
mer will draw. An under sized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
9. Your power tool is not insulated against elec-
tric 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 50 feet (15
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 utility
and make sure the current is turned off.
10. This power tool has a large range. In order
to reduce the risk of personal or even fatal
injury to bystanders from falling objects or
inadvertent contact with the moving blades
of your power tool always keep bystanders
at least 50 feet (15 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. Pay attention to the extension cable when us-
ing the telescopic hedge trimmer. Be careful
not to trip on the extension cable. Keep the
blade away from the extension cable.
3. Make sure the hedge trimmer does not start
accidentally: do not connect the telescopic
hedge trimmer to the mains if your fingers
are on the switch. Make sure the telescopic
hedge trimmer is switched off when connect-
ing it to the mains.
4. 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 trim-
mer has been switched off.
5. Disconnect Pole Trimmer – Disconnect the
Pole Trimmer from the power supply:
- 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.
6. 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.
7. Do Not Abuse Power Cord – Never carry
Pole Trimmer by power cord or yank it to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep power cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
8. Make sure the blades are not touching any-
thing before starting the telescoping hedge
trimmer.
