When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
u
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
u
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
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.
u
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 inatten-
tion while operating the hedge trimmer may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
u
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce pos-
sible personal injury from the cutter blades.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
u
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.

u

the hedge cutter, both controls must be actuated simul-
taneously. Do not use the tool, if it runs without a
switch being actuated or just one switch being actu-
ated.
