SAFETY INFORMATION
• Maintain appliance with care - Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance
and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• Check damaged parts - Before further use of the trimmer, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• Do not charge the battery pack in rain or in wet locations.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the "off" position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger
on the switch or energizing appliances that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Use the battery-operated trimmer only with specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
• Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:

• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire explosion or risk of
injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 212°F (100°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance
outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes
for possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• 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 overheat and
cause burns.
• Use Only With the 40V Lithium-Ion Power Head KMH 1040-03.
• Do not operate the trimmer while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 100 ft. (30.5m) away.
• Always hold the trimmer firmly, with both hands on the handles, while operating.
Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles.
• To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder or on any
other insecure support. Never hold the cutting attachment above waist height.
