WARNING
If the hedge trimmer blade jams or gets caught on an electrical cord or wires, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE FOR ANY
REASON! IT CAN BE ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY.
Release or drop the trimmer in the quickest and safest way. If possible, disconnect the damaged electrical cord or line from its
power source. If that is not possible, call an electrician, electrical contractor, or the power company for assistance. Failure
to heed this danger warning will cause serious personal injury and possible death.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT remove the blade assembly unless it needs sharpening, straightening, or replacing. Take it to a
qualified person for repair.
To avoid injury and to reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire:
• Replace the battery pack or charger immediately if the battery case or charger cord is damaged.
• Always make sure the hedge trimmer switch is OFF before inserting or removing the battery pack.
• Always make sure the battery pack is removed and the switch turned OFF before inspecting, adjusting, or maintaining
any other part of the hedge trimmer.
• Read, understand, and follow the Battery Charger instructions.
To avoid personal injury:
• Handle the blade with care.
• Do not place your fingers or hand between the notches in the blade or in any position where they could get pinched or cut.
• Never service the blade or hedge trimmer unless the battery pack is removed.
• Do not use if the blade assembly is damaged or bent. Take to a qualified person to straighten, replace, or sharpen.
• Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer handles to prevent your hand from touching the blade.
IMPORTANT!
Lubricate the blade before and after each use. Ignoring this step will decrease blade life and hamper operation.
