Battery/Battery charger safety warnings
To prevent the risk of electric shock, protect the battery charger from rain and moisture.
Recharge the battery only with the charger provided. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
The supplied battery charger is only suitable for charging the trimming shears and, to
prevent the risk of fire and explosion must not be used for charging any other tool.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug for signs of damage. If the
battery charger is damaged, do not use it or attempt to repair it. Instead take it to your
local hardware store for repair, as damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
To prevent the risk of fire, do not operate the battery charger on flammable surfaces
(e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in combustible environments.
If the trimming shears are dropped, or subjected to a hard impact, liquid can be
ejected from the battery. Should this liquid accidentally contact your skin, immediately
flush the area with water as it can cause irritation and even burns. Should the liquid
contact your eyes you will also need to seek medical attention.
To prevent the risk of short circuit, do not open the battery yourself.
To prevent the risk of explosion, protect the battery from heat, such as continuous
sunlight or fire.
To prevent the risk of explosion, do not short-circuit the battery.
If the battery becomes damaged due to improper use, vapour may be emitted. Should
this happen get fresh air and consult a doctor should any respiratory complaint
develop.
