For Hedge Trimmers
If the hedge trimmer blade jams or gets caught on an electrical cord or wires, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE FOR ANY
REASON! IT
CAN BE ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY! Release or drop the trimmer in the
quickest, safest way. If possible, disconnect the damaged electrical cord or line from its power source. If that is not possible,
call an electrician, electrical contractor, or the power company for assistance. Failure to heed this danger will cause serious
personal injury and possible death.
Avoid serious injury: The blades coast after turning off. ALWAYS keep both hands on the hedge trimmer handles to prevent
your hand from touching the blade.
• Make sure the hedge trimmer switch is off when clearing jammed material from blades. To avoid possible accidental
start-ups, remove or disconnect the battery before servicing, cleaning, or removing material from the hedge trimmer.
• DO NOT operate the hedge trimmer when you are tired or your visibility is limited. Do not use the trimmer at night or in
reduced light.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• DO NOT use the hedge trimmer if the handle guard is damaged.
For Battery Pack and Charger
To avoid serious injury, risk of fire, explosion and danger of electric shock or electrocution:
• DO NOT probe the charger with conductive materials. The charging terminals hold 120 V.

attention. Do not charge the battery pack in rain or in wet conditions. Do not immerse the tool, battery pack, or charger in
water or other liquid.
• Do not allow the battery pack or charger to overheat. If they are warm, allow them to cool down. Recharge only at room
temperature.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots on the top of the charger. Do not set the charger on a soft surface. Keep the ventilation
slots of the charger clear.
• Do not allow small metal items or material such as steel wool, aluminum foil, or other foreign particles into the charger cavity.
• Unplug the charger before cleaning and when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
• Do not place the battery charger or the battery pack in the sun or in a warm environment. Keep at normal room temperature.
