battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
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 with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek 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 behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 °F (130 °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
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for Hedge Trimmers

Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings

a ) Keep all parts of the body away from the blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Blades continue to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury.
b ) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate any power
switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease the
risk of inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from
the blades.
c ) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always fit the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from
the blades.
d ) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
unit, make sure all power switches are off and the power
cord is disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge
trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
e ) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Blades contacting a "live" wire may

make exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
f ) Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
g ) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

cutter blade stopped. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
