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 fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with plenty of soap and
water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and
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. Blades coast
after turn off. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material.
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. 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.
• 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.
• DANGER – Keep hands away from blade.
Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
• Keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
• Always store idle power tools indoors.
When not in
use, power tools should be stored indoors in a dry
place, out of reach of children.
