c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con tacts

6. 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.
Hedge trimmer safety warnings:
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold mate-
rial to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure
the switch is off when clearing jammed material.
A moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting
device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the 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.
