NOTE emphasizes essential information.

SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces

the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired

or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or

medication.

01Eng_CH36DL_US.p65 12/17/12, 2:38 PM3

English

A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal

injury.

b) 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.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the

switch or energising power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating

part of the power tool may result in personal

injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool

in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly

used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related

hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions to

operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

e) 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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

g) 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.

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

1. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter

blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities

contains chemicals known [to the State of California]

to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

●

Lead from lead-based paints,

●

Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

●

Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well

ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

How to make the batteries perform longer.



Recharge the batteries before they become

completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes

weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its

battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust

the electric current, the battery may be damaged

and its life will become shorter.



Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately

after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately

after use, its internal chemical substance will

deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened.

Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled

for a while.

CAUTION

●

When the battery charger has been continuously

used, the battery charger will be heated, thus

constituting the cause of the failures. Once the

charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest

until the next charging.

●

If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to

battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp

may light in green.

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,

let the battery cool before charging.

●

If the battery charger does not work while the

battery is mounted correctly, it is probable that

the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it

to your authorized Service Center.

●

When the pilot lamp flickers rapidly in red (at 0.2–

second intervals), check for and take out any

foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation

hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable

that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take

it to your authorized Service Center.

●

Since the built-in microcomputer takes about 3

seconds to confirm that the battery and back pack

power supply being charged with UC36YRSL is

taken out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds before

reinserting it to continue charging. If the battery

is reinserted within 3 seconds, the battery and

back pack power supply may not be properly

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING

●

Be sure to turn the tool off and remove the battery

from the tool before making inspections or

carrying out maintenance.

●

Do not disassemble to blade. Failure to heed this

warning may result in injury.

●

Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when

handling the blade. Failure to heed this warning

may result in injury.

1. Sharpening the blade (Fig. 12)

Move an iron file in the direction of the arrow for a

rough sharpening then use an oil stone to give the

blade a good finish.

(1) Use a fine iron file or one of intermediate

coarseness.

(2) Coat the oil stone with machine oil (bicycle oil or

the like).

(3) Use a whetstone to gently remove any burrs from

the back of the blade edge.

When to sharpen the blade

While this will vary the type of trees that are trimmed

and how often it is used, it is a good idea to sharpen the

blade about once a year to maintain a sharp edge.

Fig. 12

NOTE

Do not use water for cleaning the blade to prevent

rust or other damage.

2. Lubricating the blade

During trimming, sap adhering to the blade edge

will increase load and wear down the battery more

rapidly. Use machine oil (or bicycle oil or the like)

to lubricate the blade and wipe the blade with a

cloth. To prevent the blade from rusting, be sure

to lubricate the blade after use and when it will

not be used for an extended period of time before

placing it in the blade case.

3. Check the Screws

Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect

them and make sure they are tight.

CAUTION

Using this power tool with loosened, screws is

extremely dangerous.

4. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the

power tool.

Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not

become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

5. Check for Dust

Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth

dampened with soapy water.

Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner,

for they may damage the plastics.

6. Transport of the tool

Remove the battery and attach the blade case to

the blade before carrying this tool.

If you carry it without the blade case, the blade

may come in contact with your body, causing

injury.
