3. Keep your hands and all parts of the body away from

the blade to prevent contact that could lead to injury.

4. Make sure the blade and all accessories are properly

installed. Improper installation could cause the blade

or accessories to come loose resulting in an injury.

5. Make sure the blade is not cracked, deformed or

excessively worn before starting work. Do not use a

blade in this condition as it could break and cause

injury.

6. Do not use the tool to cut wire, metal plates or

other hard objects. The tool could be damaged and

cause injury.

7. If the tool does not work normally and is producing

strange noise, turn it off immediately and have it

inspected and repaired.

8. If the tool falls or strikes against an object, check

the blade and the body for damage, cracking and

deformation. Use of a damaged, deformed or

cracked blade could result in injury.

9. Do not disassemble the blade. This may result in injury.

10. This product generates vibration during operation.

This makes long continuous work physically

strenuous so avoid a poor work posture and be sure

to take frequent rests. Also during short work periods,

stop work immediately to take a rest when your

fingers, hands, arms or shoulders become tired.

11. Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when

handling the blade. Careless handling may lead to

injury.

12. Do not expose the blade to excessive pressure

during cutting as the blade could be damaged.

13. The blade is extremely hot after cutting. Do not

touch it to prevent burn injuries.

14. When working in high places, make sure that no

one is standing below. They could be injured should

you accidentally drop the tool or other object.

15. To prevent unforeseen accidents, never leave the

tool running unattended on a stand or on the floor.

16. Do not expose the tool to insecticide and other

chemicals. Such chemicals could cause cracking

and other damage.

PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY AND CHARGER

1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0 –

40°C. Charging the battery at temperatures outside

the range of 0 – 40°C may prevent proper charging

and reduce battery life.

The most suitable temperature for charging is that

of 20 – 25°C.

2. When one charging is completed, leave the charger for

about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.

Do not charge the battery more than 2 hours.

3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for

connecting the rechargeable battery.

4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and

charger.

5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-

circuiting the battery will cause a great electric

current and overheat. It results in burn or damage

to the battery.

6. Do not dispose of the battery in fire. If the battery is

burnt, it may explode.

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.

PRECAUTION

Keep children and infirm persons away.

When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of

children and infirm persons.

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

⅜ Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter

blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material

to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the

switch is off when clearing jammed material. A

moment of inattention while operating the shrub

shear may result in serious personal injury.

⅜ Carry the shrub shear by the handle with the cutter

blade stopped. When transporting or storing the

shrub shear always fit the cutting device cover.

Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce

possible personal injury from the cutter blades.

⅜ Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,

because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring.

Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electric shock.

⅜ Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation

the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be

accidentally cut by the blade.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CORDLESS HEDGE

TRIMMER

1. Before starting work make sure there are no power

cables in the work area. The blade could come into

contact with the power cable causing electric shock,

ground faults and other accidents.

2. Hold the tool firmly with both hands during use to

prevent injury.
