Safety
•WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your battery-powered (cordless) power tool. Read
instructions carefully for the correct handling, preparation, maintenance, starting and stopping of the tool.
Be familiar with all controls and proper use of the tool.
•Never allow children to use the tool.
•Work area safety
−Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
−Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
−Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool..
•Electrical safety
−Beware of overhead power lines.
−Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
−Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
−The battery charger has designed for a specific mains voltage. Always check that the mains voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
•Personal safety
−Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
−Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye, ear and head protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
−Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
−Always use two hands to operate the tool.
−If you have not used a similar tool before, preferably seek practical instruction by an experienced
user in addition to studying this manual.
−Never touch the blades or cutting devices while the tool is running.
−Never attempt to force the blades or cutting devices to come to a standstill.
−Do not put the tool down until the blades or cutting devices have come to a complete standstill.
−Always be aware of falling debris when using the tool overhead.
−Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
−Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times, especially when on steps or using
ladders etc. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

−Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
−If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
•Power tool use and care
−The tool is designed for domestic use only.
−Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
−Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
−Remove the battery before cleaning, inspection, maintenance or transporting he tool.
−If the tool stalls, immediately switch it off. Remove the battery before attempting to remove any
obstructions.
−Do not operate the tool with a damaged or excessively worn cutting device.
−Always ensure that all guards are fitted when using the tool. Never attempt to use an incomplete tool
or a tool with unauthorized modifications.
−Regularly check the blades or cutting devices for damage and wear. Do not use the machine when
the blades are damaged.
−Take care to avoid hard objects (e.g. metal wire, railings) when trimming. Should you accidentally hit
any such object immediately switch the tool off and check for any damage.
−Should the tool start to vibrate abnormally, immediately switch it off and check for any damage.
−Do NOT attempt any tool adjustments while the tool is running.
−Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
−Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
−Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
−Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
−Do not submerge the tool in any liquid.
−Do not clean the tool with harsh solvents, fuel or abrasives.
•Service
−Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
−Do not attempt to repair the tool.
•Storage
−Clean and maintain the tool before storage.
−Fit any applicable protective equipment, such as blade sheaths, before transportation or storage.
Battery Safety

•Never attempt to open the battery.
•When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from metal objects that can make a connection
between its terminals. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
•Do not expose batteries to water.
•Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
•Do not store batteries in locations where the temperature may exceed 40°C (104°F).
•Use only the correct type of battery for the tool.
•When disposing of batteries, follow local environmental laws and regulations.
•Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid oozing out of the battery,
proceed as follows:
−Carefully wipe away the liquid using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
−In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
−The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin contact,
immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. In case of
eye contact, rinse with clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician.
Battery Charging Safety
•Electrocution / Electric Shock Hazard:
−Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by electrically conductive foreign material. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
−Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
−The battery charger plug must match the electrical supply socket. Never modify the plug in any way.
•Use your charger only to charge batteries of the type supplied with your tool. Other batteries could burst,
causing personal injury and damage.
•Do not leave the battery pack in the charger when the charging is finished, otherwise battery leakage
may occur.
•Charge batteries at room temperature only.
•Charge batteries using the charger provided with the tool.
•Before charging, make sure that the battery is dry and clean.
•Do not charge hot batteries – allow batteries to cool for approximately 30 minutes before charging.
•Do not charge more than 2 batteries consecutively without allowing the charger to cool before further
charging.
•When charging is finished, unplug the charger from mains socket outlet and take away the battery pack
from the charger, do not leave the battery pack in the charger.
•Never carry the charger by its cord or pull it to disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
•Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
•The cord of charger is not changeable, do not continue to use if the cord is damaged.
•Do not expose to water or rain, do not use in wet condition.
•Do not open the charger.

•Do not probe the charger.
•Intended for indoor use only.
•The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on
jobs that were easily done before.
•The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Important Charging Notes
•After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in about 4 to 7 hours. Allow the battery to
cool down before charging (NOTE: A hot battery placed in the charger may not charge).
•Do NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 4°C (40°F) or above 40°C (104°F). This is
important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest life and best performance can be
obtained if battery pack is charged when air temperature is about 24°C (75°F).
•While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does
not indicate a problem.
•If the battery pack does not charge properly
−Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
−Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the
lights.
•The battery pack must be charged before first using and should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using this product with
its battery pack in a depleted condition.
•To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charger for extended periods of time (over 30
days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall
battery life.
•The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during normal usage. There
is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best method of
discharging and recharging the batteries.
