with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from intended use could lead to a
hazardous situation.
6. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do

cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut
by the blade.

Battery & Charger Safety
Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be
guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of
the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care
of high-performance batteries are the main factors responsible
for personal and/or product damage.
m
WARNING!
Always follow these safety guidelines. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up
or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your
finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the appliance accidentally.
• 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.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
• 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
