SAFETY INFORMATION
• 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 the appliance that has the switch on
invites accidents.
• Always take care of your feet, children, or pets around you when removing the battery
pack from the appliance. NEVER remove the battery pack when in a high position.
Serious injury could result if the battery pack falls.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the appliance. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Use the appliance 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:
BATTERY PACK

• 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.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• 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 265°F (130°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.
• 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.
