GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails,
wire, or string which can be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
• Use only identical manufacturer’s replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other parts
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
• For household use only.
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or serious
personal injury.
• Do not charge battery tool in rain, or damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.
• Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the
gardening appliance.
• Use only the type and size batteries (Model # 29232).
• Store idle appliances - When not in use, trimmer should be stored indoors in a dry, locked
place out of the reach of children.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a re. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate 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 re or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly 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 open
ame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water
immediately.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack 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, ush 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 power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an
authorized service center to avoid risk.

W A R N I N G (PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
