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 fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with plenty of soap and water. If liquid
contacts eyes, immediately seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible
personal injury from the cutter blades.

power tools should be stored indoors in a dry place, out
of reach of children.
•
Do not use the power tool in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
