GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS
• READ and understand all instructions.
• A BATTERY OPERATED UNIT with integral batteries or a separate
battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for
the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• USE BATTERY OPERATED UNIT ONLY with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a
risk of fire.
• AVOID accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off
position before inserting battery pack. Carrying units with your
finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a unit with the
switch on invites accidents.
• DO NOT use unit if switch does not turn it on or off. A unit that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• DISCONNECT battery pack from unit or place the switch in the
locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the unit. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.
• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT - Do not use or charge
hedge trimmers in damp or wet locations.
• DO NOT USE OR CHARGE battery operated hedge trimmer in
rain.
• DO NOT OPERATE hedge trimmer in gaseous or explosive
atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks
might ignite fumes.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY - All visitors should be kept at a safe
distance from the work area.
• DRESS PROPERLY - Donʼt wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and
substantial footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
