■ Never cut any material over 40 mm diameter with the saw
blade. Beware of falling branches when using the saw blade.
■ Cover the blade with the blade cover before storing the
product, or during transportation. Always remove the
blade protector before using the product. If not removed,
the blade protector could become a thrown object as the
blade begins to turn.
■ When installing or changing the battery pack, lay the product
on the ground with blade facing upwards to prevent the blade
from touching the ground and extend the blade life.
■ For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds
being cut from the right to the left. In the event that an
unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
practice could minimise the blade thrust reaction. Both
hands must be used at all times to control the product.
■ Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use
of the product. When using the product for prolonged
periods, ensure to take regular breaks.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
■ To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the product,
battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
■ Charge the battery pack in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 10°C and 38°C.
■ Store the battery pack in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 20°C.
■ Use the battery pack in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■ Turn off the product, remove the battery pack, and allow
both to cool down before storing or transporting.
■ Remove all foreign materials from the product.
■ Do not store or transport the product with the battery pack
fitted. Remove the battery pack, and secure it separately.
Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place
that is inaccessible to children. Keep the product away
from corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and
de-icing salts. Do not store the product outdoors.
■ For transportation in vehicles, secure the product
against movement or falling to prevent injury to persons
or damage to the product.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
■ Transport the battery pack in accordance with local and
national provisions and regulations.
■ Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or
tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
