IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
F. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
G. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
A. Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
B. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
C. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
D. 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.
E. 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.
6. SERVICE
A. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will make sure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

the switch is off when clearing jammed material. Blades coast after
turn off. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may
