GreenWorks 22282, Owner'S Manual

4

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before 

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety 

measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in 

the hands of untrained users.

• 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition 

that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many 

accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your tool. Accessories 

that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance 

performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. follow instructions in 

the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow 

Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
