HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
○Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the
switch is offwhen clearing jammed material. A
moment of inattention while operating the shrub shear
may result in serious personal injury.
○Carry the shrub shear by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
shrub shear always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible
personal injury from the cutter blades.
○Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
○Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CORDLESS HEDGE
TRIMMER
1. Before starting work make sure there are no power cables
in the work area. The blade could come into contact with
the power cable causing electric shock, ground faults
and other accidents.
2. Hold the tool firmly with both hands during use to prevent
injury.
3. Keep your hands and all parts of the body away from the
blade to prevent contact that could lead to injury.
4. Make sure the blade and all accessories are properly
installed. Improper installation could cause the blade or
accessories to come loose resulting in an injury.
5. Make sure the blade is not cracked, deformed or
excessively worn before starting work. Do not use a
blade in this condition as it could break and cause injury.
6. Do not use the tool to cut wire, metal plates or other hard
objects. The tool could be damaged and cause injury.
7. If the tool does not work normally and is producing strange
noise, turn it offimmediately and have it inspected and
repaired.
8. If the tool falls or strikes against an object, check the blade
and the body for damage, cracking and deformation. Use
of a damaged, deformed or cracked blade could result in
injury.
9. Do not disassemble the blade. This may result in injury.
10. This product generates vibration during operation. This
makes long continuous work physically strenuous so
avoid a poor work posture and be sure to take frequent
rests. Also during short work periods, stop work
immediately to take a rest when your fingers, hands,
arms or shoulders become tired.
11. Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when handling
the blade. Careless handling may lead to injury.
12. Do not expose the blade to excessive pressure during
cutting as the blade could be damaged.
13. The blade is extremely hot after cutting. Do not touch it to
prevent burn injuries.
14. When working in high places, make sure that no one
is standing below. They could be injured should you
accidentally drop the tool or other object.
15. To prevent unforeseen accidents, never leave the tool
running unattended on a stand or on the floor.
16. Do not expose the tool to insecticide and other chemicals.
Such chemicals could cause cracking and other damage.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY AND CHARGER
1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0 – 40°C.
Charging the battery at temperatures outside the range
of 0 – 40°C may prevent proper charging and reduce
battery life.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20 –
25°C.
2. When one charging is completed, leave the charger for
about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
Do not charge the battery more than 2 hours.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-
circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current
and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in fire. If the battery is burnt,
it may explode.
