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 acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. Service
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.
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 hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing
the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device
cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the 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.
