◾
On machines with a defined transport position
EN
(cutting blade folded flat against the hedge
trimmer shaft): Never start the machine in the
transport position, since the blades are not engaged
in that position and you therefore cannot visually
check to see that they will be stopped at idle when you
start to adjust the cutting blade to the desired cutting
position (where the blades are engaged).
◾
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing
the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
◾
Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting
edges when picking up or holding the hedge trimmer.
◾
Hold the machine 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 machine "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
◾
Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
◾
Check the hedge for foreign objects before
operating, e.g. wire fences.
◾
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control,
be absolutely sure that the cutting blade is clear
of you and all other obstructions and objects,
including the ground, because when the tool starts,
the motor speed will be fast enough to engaged
and move the cutting blade on the tool.
◾
Do not allow other persons in the general work
area. Ensure that other people and pets remain at least
15m away from the hedge trimmer when it is in use.
◾
Never allow children to operate the hedge trimmer.
◾
Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and
result in serious personal injury.
◾
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in difficult,
overgrown terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles
such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to avoid
fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or uneven
ground.
◾
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other
unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the hedge trimmer in
unexpected situations.

HEDGE TRIMMER ATTACHMENT — HTA2000S
◾
Observe the cutting blades at all times – do not
cut any area if the hedge that you cannot see.
When cutting the top of a taller hedge, check the
other side of the hedge frequently for bystanders,
animals and obstructions.
◾
Check damaged parts before further use of the hedge
trimmer. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other condition that may affect its operation.
◾
Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent
intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect
blade for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, and worn).
Replace the blade only with a blade from EGO
◾
Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked. An
unbalanced blade causes vibration that could damage
the motor drive unit or cause personal injury.
◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the motor and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
◾
The trimmer shall be used to cut stems less than
26mm thick.
◾
Trim only in daylight or in good artificial light.
◾
Do not use the battery-operated hedge trimmer in rain.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
◾
Do not charge the battery pack in rain or in wet
locations.
◾
Use only with battery packs and chargers listed
in fig.A
◾
The battery pack must be removed from the appliance
before it is scrapped.
◾
The battery shall be disposed of safely.
◾
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cells may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
◾
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
CAUTION!
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid
that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically
conductive and corrosive.
◾
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not
to short the battery with conducting materials
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
◾
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
even when the tool is not operating. Take care when
performing maintenance or service.
