WARNING
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid 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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, 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.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent 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 nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove 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.

4
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
If 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.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction
of a second.
Power tool use and care
Do 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.
Do 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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, 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.
Store 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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use 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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a
re.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.

5
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 265 °F may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
DANGER Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Blades
continue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade stopped and taking care not to
operate any power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from the blades.
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit the blade cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all power switches are
off and the battery pack is removed or disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge
trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the blade may
contact hidden wiring. Blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
hedge trimmer “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area. Power cords or cables may be
hidden in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk
of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding
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 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.
Never allow children to operate the hedge trimmer.
Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
Never do anything to interfere with the intended function of a safety device or to reduce
the protection provided by a safety device.
Never operate the hedge trimmer without proper guards, plates, or other safety
protective devices in place.
Check damaged parts before further use of the hedge trimmer. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

6
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 identical SKIL replacement blade.
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 3/4” (19mm) thick.
Trim only in daylight or in good artificial light.
Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning, or removing material from the
hedge trimmer.
Do not wash with a hose; avoid getting water in motor and electrical connections.
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of parts which do not meet the
original equipment specications may lead to improper performance and compromised safety.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 212 °F (100°C) may cause explosion.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan this tool to someone else, also loan these instructions to
them to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
