11 Do not place hand between pivoting head and threaded base. Failure to heed this caution could result in a pinch point injury.
CUTTING TIPS WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer/branch lopper handles. Never hold shrubs or branches with one hand and operate hedge trimmer /branch lopper with the other. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious injury or even death. 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 serious personal injury. When operating the hedge trimmer/branch lopper, keep the mains lead behind the trimmer/lopper. Never drape it over the hedge /branches being cut. Do not force the hedge trimmer/branch lopper through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace or diameter of the branches. If blades become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to stop, and take down the battery from machine before attempting to remove the obstruction. If 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. Take extra care not to cut or entangle the string in the cutting blades of the trimmer. Wear gloves when trimming/cutting branches, thorny or prickly growth hedges. 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.

Maintenance And Servicing
-Before carrying out any checks or maintenance operations, REMOVE the battery from machine. -Check your machine regularly before starting the work. Damaged cutting blades have to be repaired or exchanged by a qualified serviceman before working with the machine. -After each cutting operation, clean the cutting blade with a soft brush and cloth with lubricating fluid oil and spray a thin layer of fluid protective oil to help prevent rust. -Always keep the ventilation slots in motor housing clean -Never clean or spray a machine with water. Clean the motor housing only with a moist cloth and never use detergents or solvents! These could ruin the plastic parts of the machine. Finally, dry the motor housing carefully. -Store the machine with the supplied protection cover. MAINTENANCE OF SAW CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ·Saw Chain It is very import for smooth and safe operation to always keep the cutters sharp. Your cutters need to be sharpened when: Sawdust becomes powder-like; You need extra force to saw and the chain becomes over-heated; The cutting path does not go straight; Vibration increases; Fuel consumption increases. Note: Be sure to wear safety gloves. Before Filing: Make sure the saw chain is held securely; Make sure the engine is stopped; Use a round file of proper size for your chain.
12 Place your file on the cutter and push straight. Keep the file position as Figure16 After every cutter has been set, check the depth gauge and file it to the proper level as Figure17 Warning: Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the chance of kickback or tie-strap breakage. (1) Appropriate gauge checker (2)Make the shoulder round (3)Depth gauge standard Make sure every cutter has the same length and edge angles as Figure18 (4)Cutter length (5)Filing angle (6)Side plate angle (7)Top plate cutting angle
