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 ) 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.
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.
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.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

DANGER: Keep hands away from
blade. Contact with blade will result in serious
personalinjury.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure
the switch is off when clearing jammed material.
Blades coast after turn off. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personalinjury.

cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing
the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible
personal injury from the cutterblades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electricshock.

Using one hand could cause loss of control and
result in serious personalinjury.
• Check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wirefences.
