HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

￿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.

￿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.

￿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.

￿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.

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.
