tool for your application.
The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
B.
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.

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.

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.

Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
G.
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.

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 any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
C.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
the 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.
D.
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.

when the temperature is not between 41 to 104 degrees
F (5 to 40 degrees C).
6.
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.
Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electric shock.

The device should not be used by persons ( including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they receive supervision or

manufacturer, its authorized service agent, or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid hazard.
