A moment of inattention while operating
the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury.
DANGER:
The hedge trimmer
cutting blades will coast after the
switches are turned OFF. Wait for the
cutting blades to come to a complete
stop before removing the Power Cell.
Never allow children or untrained
persons to use the hedge trimmer.
Never leave the hedge trimmer out in
the rain.
Never use the hedge trimmer in wet
conditions or in rain. The water will
damage the motor. It will also create
very unsafe working conditions.
Always be aware of obstacles such as
roots, stumps and holes which could
cause you to trip.
Never walk backwards while the hedge
trimmer is turned ON as you might trip
and may not hear approaching persons
or vehicles.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves
when handling the cutting blade for
removal of foreign objects that may be
jammed in the cutting blades.
Ensure the switches are in the OFF
position before inserting the Power
Cell.
Inserting the Power Cell into the
tool with the switches ON invites
accidents.
Use both hands when operating the
hedge trimmer. Using one hand
could cause loss of control and
result in serious personal injury.
When transporting (even for short
distances), leaving the tool idle or
unattended, or storing the hedge
trimmer always carefully fit the
protective blade guard over the
cutting blades. Carry the hedge
trimmer by the forward assist handle
with the cutting blades stopped and
the cutting blades facing rearward.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce the risk of injury from the
cutting blades.
Use this hedge trimmer only with the
Power Cell specified in this manual.
Use of any other battery pack may
create a risk of injury and fire.
DANGER:
Only use the hedge
trimmer with the handle and guard in
good condition and properly
assembled to the hedge trimmer. The
use of the hedge trimmer without the
proper guard and handle provided
may result in serious personal injury.
Recharge the Power Cell only with
the one of the chargers specified in
this manual.
A charger that is suitable
for another type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with a
Power Cell.
When the Power Cell 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 the other.
Shorting the Power Cell terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the Power Cell.
Avoid contact with this liquid. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts the
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
