glass, nails, wire, string, etc.) which can be thrown or
become entangled in cutting head.
■ Keep the air vents clean and free of debris to avoid
overheating the motor. Clean after each use.
■ Stop the unit and disconnect the power source when
not in use. Carry the unit with the motor stopped.
■ Store out of the reach of children.
■ Do not hang unit so that the switch trigger is depressed.
■ Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.
Be aware of possible hazards when not using your
battery tool or when changing accessories. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
■ Do not charge battery tool in rain, or damp or wet

electric shock.

■ Remove or disconnect battery before servicing,

■ Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
■ Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
■ Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or
heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
■ Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with
water immediately.
■ Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use
a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
■ Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short
the battery with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause burns.
■ For best results, your battery tool should be charged in
a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but
less than 37˚C. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water,
then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets
into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least
10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
