injury.
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged
only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of
battery may create a risk of when used with another battery.
• Use a battery-operated tool only with specified battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental s
tart-ups. Make sure the switch is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your on the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. A Hedge Trimmer can throw foreign
objects into your eyes which could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear
safety
goggles or safety glasses that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Ordinary eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses...they are NOT safety goggles or glasses.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool"in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
4
• Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
•
Maintain power tools. Before using, check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your tool. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by personnel may result in a ri
sk of injury.
SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that can not be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to be bind and are easier to control.
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better an
d safer at the rate for which it was designed.
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 a fire.
• 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.

FOR HEDGE TRIMMERS
D A N G E R
If
the hedge trimmer blade jams or gets caught on an electrical cord or wires, DO NOT TOUCH
THE BLADE FOR ANY REASON! IT CAN BE ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND CAUSE SERIOUS OR
FATAL INJURY! Release or drop the trimmer in the quickest, safest way. If possible, disconnect the
dbattery from the tool. If that is not possible, call an electrician, electrical contractor, or the power
company for assistance. Failure to heed this danger warning will cause serious personal injury
and possible death. Keep hands away from blade.
W A R N I N G
Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss of
control and result in serious personal injury. ALWAYS keep both hands on the hedge trimmer
handles to prevent your hand from touching the blade.
• 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. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.
•
DO NOT operate the hedge trimmer when you are tired or your visibility is limited. Do not
use the trimmer at night or in reduced light.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
• DO NOT use the hedge trimmer if the handle guard is damaged.
D A N G E R
To avoid serious injury, risk of fire, explosion and danger of electric shock or electrocution:
•
DO NOT probe the charger with conductive materials. The charging terminals hold 120V.
•
If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, DO NOT insert into the charger or tool.
Replace the battery pack.
• DO NOT charge these battery packs with any other type of charger.
• DO NOT allow liquid inside the charger.
• DO NOT try to use the charger for any other purpose than what is presented in this

• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the 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 wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
• Danger - Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade will result in serious personal
injury.
