only with specifically designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire. Use only with Greenworks BAF749 battery
or other BAF series.
• 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 only with

• 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
