c) 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.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush

medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
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.

temperature. Exposure to fire or temperatures above
100 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the

clearing jammed material. Blades coast after turn off. A
moment of inattention while operating the garden shears
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Carry the garden shears by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. Proper handling of the garden shears will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
