6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of personal injury and property damage
in the event the hedge trimmer emits smoke, an unusual
smell or feels unusually hot while using, charging or
storing:
Immediately discontinue using or charging the
hedge trimmer. Contact the authorities in the event
of fire or explosion.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
Never bridge the electrical contacts of the activation
key socket with wires or other metallic objects (e.g.,
paper clips, nails, coins, keys).
Store the hedge trimmer indoors in a dry room.
Never store the hedge trimmer in damp or corrosive
environments or in conditions that could lead to
corrosion of its metal components or battery.
Protect the hedge trimmer from exposure to
corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-
icing salts, which may damage its battery and
increase the risk of short circuit, fire and explosion.
Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the
hedge trimmer. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside.
If the integrated battery is damaged, battery fluid can leak
out of the hedge trimmer. Leaking battery fluid can cause
skin and eye irritation or chemical burns.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Use an inert absorbent such as sand on spilled
liquids.
In the event of accidental contact, immediately rinse
the contact area thoroughly with mild soap and
water.
If fluid gets into your eye(s): Do not rub. Rinse water
over the open eye(s) for at least 15 minutes and
seek medical attention.
A battery fire can be dangerous. To reduce the risk of
severe personal injury and property damage in the event
of fire:
Evacuate the area. Fire can spread rapidly. Stay
clear of any vapors generated and maintain a safe
distance.
Contact the fire department.
Although water can be used to put out a battery fire,
use of a multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher
is preferable.
Consult the fire department regarding proper
disposal of the burned battery.
Use and store the hedge trimmer only
within an ambient temperature range of
32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C).
Never store the hedge trimmer in direct
sunlight or inside a vehicle in hot
weather.
Keep the hedge trimmer dry. Protect it
from rain and ensure that the hedge
trimmer and its battery are never
exposed to water, liquids or damp
conditions.
Never immerse the hedge trimmer in
water or other liquids.
