GreenWorks STE456, Operator'S Manual

• Check damaged parts before using the appliance, a

guard or other part that is damaged should be

carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check

for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, damaged mountings, and

any other condition that may affect its operation. A

guard or other part that is damaged should be

properly repaired or replaced by an authorized

service center unless indicated elsewhere in this

manual.

• Do not charge appliance in rain, or in wet locations.
• Remove or disconnect battery before servicing,

cleaning or removing material from the gardening

appliance.

• Use appliances only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and fire.

• 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.

• 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 a

fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or

burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is

damaged or modified. Damaged or modified

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior

resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or

excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or

temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause an

explosion.

• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cells

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.

• 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.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge

the battery pack or appliance outside of the

temperature range specified in the instructions.

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of

the specified range may damage the battery and

increase the risk of fire.

• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the product is

maintained.

• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Keep hands and feet away from cutting area.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

appliance accidentally.

• Use only with the nylon cutting line of 0.08" (2 mm)

diameter. Do not use heavier lines than

recommended by the manufacturer and line

materials of other types – for example, metal wire,

rope, and the like.
