SAFETY INFORMATION
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Battery Tool Use and Care
• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 tool 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 tool 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 tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Grass Trimmer Safety Warnings
• Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the machine is to be used. Wildlife may
be injured by the machine during operation.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause personal
injury.
• Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see that the cutter or blade and
the cutter or blade assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
• Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improperly tightened blade securing nuts
or bolts may either damage the blade or result in it becoming detached.
• Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate protective equipment will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
• While operating the machine, always wear non-slip and protective footwear. Do not
operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance
of injury to the feet from contact with the moving cutters or lines.
