OPERATOR’S MANUAL

WARNING:

Some dust created by power cutting 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 and cement and other masonry products, and

 Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of

work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well-ventilated area, and

work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to ﬁlter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING:

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Fail to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warning 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. Unmodiﬁed

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 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 GFCI protected

supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER—HT24108

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 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 ﬁnger on the switch or energizing 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.

 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 devices

can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 more safely 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 the battery pack 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.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER—HT2410 9

 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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools

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, 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.

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 ﬁre 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 ﬁre.

 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 ﬁre.

 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid

contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂush with water. If liquid contact eyes,

additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

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.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER—HT241010

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

DANGER

– Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade will result in serious

personal injury.

 Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut

material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the

switch is off when clearing jammed material. Blades coast after turn 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 cutter blade stopped. Proper

handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter

blades.

 Hold the power tool 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 power tool “live” and could give the operator an

electric shock.

 Keep cable away from cutting area. During operating the cable may be hidden in

shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.

 Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand could

cause loss of control and result in serious personal injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Do not charge the battery pack in rain, or in wet locations.

 Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:

BATTERY CHARGER

BA1120, BA1400, BA2240

BA2800, BA4200

CH2100

CH5500

 Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding

the hedge trimmer.

 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.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER—HT2410 11

 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. Any 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. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an

authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

 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 the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

 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 1 in. (26mm) 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 listed in this manual. Use of

parts which do not meet the original equipment speciﬁcations 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.

 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.

the hedge trimmer by the insulated rear handle or lay it down and away from you in

a safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service to the damaged line or cord before

attempting to free the blade from the line or cord. Failure to heed this warning will

result in serious personal injury or possible death.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER—HT2410 19

WARNING:

If any parts are missing, damaged or broken, do not operate your

trimmer until they have been replaced. Failure to do so could result in possibly serious

personal injury.

WARNING:

To prevent serious personal injury, always use both the front handle

and the rear handle to hold the hedge trimmer during operation.

WARNING:

To prevent serious personal injury, keep hands away from blades.

Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when the blades

are moving. Make sure that the blades have totally stopped and the battery pack is

removed before clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed

cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the unit.

WARNING:

Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such

as cords, lights, wire, or string that could become entangled in the cutting blade and

create a risk of serious personal injury.

 Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do

not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves. Hold

the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always

use the hedge trimmer properly.

 Do not trim too much at one time. This can cause the blades to bind and slow,

reducing the cutting efﬁciency.

 Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the

blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace of

your work.

 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 most easily by using a sawing movement.

 Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 1 in. thick. Use a non-powered hand

saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER—HT241020

TOP CUTTING (Fig. 7)

Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight

downward tilt of the cutting blades in

the direction of motion gives the best

cutting results. If desired, you can use a

string to help guide you as you cut your

hedge level. Decide how high you want

the hedge. Then, stretch a piece of string

along the hedge at this height. Trim the

hedge just above this guide line.

SIDE CUTTING (Fig. 8)

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards. Trim the

side of a hedge so that it will be slight narrower at the top.This shape will expose more

of the hedge to sunlight, resulting in a more uniform growth.
