SAFETY INFORMATION
• When not in use, the string trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place out of the
reach of children.
•
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 damage 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 possible 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 an open flame.
An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery. Do not use a battery 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 50°F but less than 100°F. 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.
• If the charger power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by
an authorized service center to avoid risk.
• Do not point the string trimmer in the direction of people or pets.
• When not in use, the string trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked up place-out of the
reach of children.
• Maintain tool with care. Keep all vents and openings clean and clear of debris. Follow instructions
for proper maintenance. Do not attempt to clear clogs from tool without first switching it off and
removing the battery.
