Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
u
tery 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
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.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
u
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-
u
ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
u
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
u
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 bat-
u
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Hedge trimmer safety warnings
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather condi-
u
tions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
u
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment
u
will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping sur-
u
faces only, because the blade may contact hidden wir-
ing. Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not
u
remove cut material or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. Blades continue to move after the
switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while oper-
ating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal in-
jury.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the
u
hedge trimmer, make sure all power switches are off
F 016 L94 792 | (08.08.2024)
and the battery pack is removed or disconnected. Un-
expected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing
jammed material or servicing may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blade
u
stopped and taking care not to operate any power
switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will de-
crease the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant per-
sonal injury from the blades.
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, al-
u
ways use the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the
blades.
