exposed metal parts of the pole saw "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the
cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut
by the saw chain.
• Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any
electrical power lines. Contact with or use near power
lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting
in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole saw. Hold
the pole saw with both hands to avoid loss of control.
• Always use head protection when operating the pole saw
overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal
injury.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the power 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 power switch or
energizing appliance that have the power switch on
invites accidents.
• Make sure the power switch is off and the battery pack is
removed before clearing jammed material, making
adjustments, changing accessories, storing or servicing
the appliance. Unexpected actuation of the appliance
while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
• 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 appliances 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 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 130°C may cause explosion. The temperature of
130°C can be replaced by the temperature of 265°F.
• 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
English
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 (as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
4 HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and result
in serious personal injury.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.
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. Blades coast after
turn off. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the
cutter blades.
• DANGER – Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
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.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
• Do not use the extended-reach hedge trimmer in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any
electrical power lines. Contact with or use near power
lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting
in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the extended-
reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge
trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control.
• Always use head protection when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling
debris can result in serious personal injury.
