or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.

ating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

create a risk of injury and fire.
Store idle appliances - When not in use, the string trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked
place out of the reach of children.
Do not open or mutilate the batteries near fire or hear. This will reduce the risk of explosion and pos-
sibly injury.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of an open flame. An ex-
ploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery. Do noy use a battery or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or
damaged battery immediately.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or
vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
If the charger power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an
authorized service center to avoid risk.
Do not point the string trimmer in the direction of people or pets.
When not in use, the string trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked up place out of the
reach of children.
Maintain tool with care. Keep all vents and openings clean and clear of debris. Follow instructions for

ing the battery.
