SPECIFIC RULES FOR BATTERY OPERATION
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.
Be aware of possible hazards when not using your bat-
tery tool or when changing accessories. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.
Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning
or removing material from the gardening appliance.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed
in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation sup-
plement 995000850.
Store idle appliances – When not in use, string trimmer
should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place out of
the reach of children.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electro-
lyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or
skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or
heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ig-
nition, 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 can pro-
pel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short
the battery with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may over-
heat and cause burns.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your
skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at
least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
