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.
BATTERY TOOL CARE AND USE
■ 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.
■ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
■ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
130°C

CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
■ Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove the cut material or hold the
material to be cut when blades are moving. Make
sure the switch is off when clearing jammed
materials. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
■ Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer reduces 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.
