a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
c) 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) 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.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety notes for battery-operated shrub and grass shears
• Keep away all body parts from the cutting blades. Do not
attempt to remove cut material or to hold material to be
cut while the cutting tool is in operation. Only remove
jammed material after the unit was switched off. A single
moment of inadvertence when using the hedge shear may
result in severe injury.
• Make sure that all protective devices and handles are
attached before using the unit. Never attempt to put into
service an incomplete unit or a unit that was improperly modi-
fied.
• Hold the power tool on the insulated handle surfaces as
the cutting blades may come into contact with the unit's
mains supply cable. A contact of the cutting blades with a
live conductor may apply hazardous voltage to metallic parts
of the unit and cause electric shock.
• Carry the hedge shear on its handle with the cutting tool
stopped. Always install the guard when transporting or stor-
ing the hedge shear. A careful handling of the unit minimises
the risk of injury by the cutting tool.
• Keep the cable away from the cutting area. During the
work, the cable may be hidden by shrubbery and accidentally
cut.
• This device is not intended to be used by persons (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities
or a lack of experience and/or know-how unless they are su-
pervised by a person responsible for their safety or they have
been instructed by such a person on the use of the device.
• Supervise children to make sure they do not play with the
device.
• Adhere to national regulations that might specify an age
limit for the user of the unit.

Safety notes for chargers
•
Do not use the charger in moist or wet ambience. There
is an increased risk of an electric shock when water pene-
trates into the charger.
Only use the charger for the dedicated power tool. Its use
•
for other power tools may result in injuries and fire.
Keep the charger clean. Contamination may result in elec-
•
tric shock.
•
Do not operate the charger on combustible surfaces
(such as paper, textiles). There is a risk of fire as the
charger heats up during the charging process.
Before each use, check the charger, charger cable and
•
cable connector for damages. Do not use damaged
chargers. Have your charger only be repaired by qualified
specialized personnel with genuine spare parts. This will en-
sure that the device is kept in a safe condition.
