e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.

battery pack or tool outside the temperature range

24.8 Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings

– Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blades.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. 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 cutting
blades stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer always fit the blade scabbard. Proper handling of
the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutting blades.
– Always hold your electric power tool by the insulated
handles because the cutting blades may contact hidden
electrical wires. Any blade contact with a live wire may
energize metallic parts of the power tool and result in an
electric shock.
