READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
• Do not use in wet conditions.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETy
• A battery-operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged
only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of
battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use a battery-operated tool only with specified battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
• Use only Greenworks batteries.
PERSONAL SAFETy
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental start-ups. Make sure the switch is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
ALWAyS WEAR EyE PROTECTION. A Hedge Trimmer can throw foreign
objects into your eyes which could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAyS wear
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Ordinary eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses...they are NOT safety goggles.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that can not be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
