GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous, and must be repaired.
• Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. (15 m) away.
• Use only Greenworks batteries: LB60A03 (2 .5Ah), LB60A00 (2.0Ah).
• Use only Greenworks Chargers: CH60A00.
•
Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Do not operate in poor lighting.
•
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts and all hot surfaces of the unit.
•
Do not put any object into the openings. Do not use with any opening blocked. Keep openings free of
dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
•
Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects that can be thrown or become entangled in
the machine, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string.
• Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
FOR BATTERY-OPERATED EQUIPMENT:
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the equipment. Carrying the equipment with your finger on the switch or
energizing equipment that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Turn off all the controls before removing the battery.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the equipment before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing equipment. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
equipment accidentally.
•
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 only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to recharge.
•
Use equipment 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 contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or equipment that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or equipment to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause an explosion.
•
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
