SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
nBefore starting the hedge trimmer, make sure the blade is not in contact with any object.
nStop the unit, remove the battery pack, and make sure the blade has stopped before setting the unit down.
nNever cut any material with a diameter larger than 3/8 in.
nDANGER: Risk of cut. Keep hands away from blades. Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Keep both hands on handles when power is on. Make sure battery pack is removed and the trigger is released when clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the unit.
nBlades coast after unit is turned off.
nAlways stop the motor when cutting is delayed or when walking from one cutting location to another.
nKeep unit clean of grass clippings and other materials. They may become lodged in the cutting blades.
nStore the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up or up high to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of the reach of children or untrained individuals.
nReplace blade cover when unit is not in use.
nNever douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from debris. Clean after each use; see Storage instructions.
nSecure the unit while transporting.
BATTERY SAFETY
nBattery operated units do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit is not operating.
nRemove the battery pack before making any adjustments, cleaning, storing, or removing material from the unit, or when not in use.
nA battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery pack. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use battery pack only with charger listed.

| or 130224028 | or 140237021 |
nTo reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury, DO NOT place battery units or their batteries near fire or heat.
nDo not mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
n Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery pack can propel debris and chemical. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
nDo not charge unit in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
nFor best results, your battery unit should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F (10°C) but less than 100°F (38°C). Do not store outside or in vehicles.
nUnder extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery pack leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
nA damaged battery pack is subject to explosion. To avoid serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged battery pack.
nDo not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. Batteries should be recycled. Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
nWhen 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 pack terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
