WARNING
The term “appliance” in the warnings refers to your
battery-operated (cordless) power tool. When using
electric gardening appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
• Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t use
appliances in damp or wet locations.
• Don’t Use In Rain.
• Keep Children Away – All visitors should be kept at
a distance from work area.
• Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of
rubber gloves and substantial footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Use Safety Glasses – Always use face or dust mask
if operation is dusty.
• Use Right Appliance – Do not use appliance for any
job except that for which it is intended.
• Avoid Unintentional Starting – Don’t insert battery
pack in appliance with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when inserting battery pack. And
ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying
the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your
finger on the switch or energizing appliance that
have the switch on invites accidents.
• Don’t Force Appliance – It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
• Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate appliance when you
are tired.
• Disconnect Appliance – Disconnect the appliance
from the battery pack when not in use, before
servicing, when changing accessories such as
blades, and the like, or storing appliance. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
• Store Idle Appliances Indoors – When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high
or locked-up place – out of reach of children.
• Maintain Appliance With Care – Keep cutting edge
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect appliance cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an
authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean, and free from oil and grease
• Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the
appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other condition that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• 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 terminal together may cause
burns or a fire.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire,explosion or risk of injury.
