POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
2.5

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• 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 power tools 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 from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with plenty of soap and water. If liquid
contacts eyes, immediately seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
English

excessive temperature.Exposure to fire or temperature
℃ may cause explosion.
above 130
• 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.
2.6

SERVICE

• 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.
• Never service damaged battery packs, Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3 HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit,
make sure all power switches are off and the battery
pack is removed or disconnected.Unexpected actuation
of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
• Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden
wiring.Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
