ated (cordless) power tool.
tions, illustrations and specica-
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
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 inuence 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 protection. Protective equipment such
as a 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 o-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• 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. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may aect 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 dierent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
2
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specied
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
BRUSH CUTTERS
General brush cutter safety warnings:
• Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where
the machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured
by the machine during operation.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires,
bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown objects
can cause personal injury.
• Before using the machine, always visually inspect
to see that the cutter or blade and the cutter or
blade assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts
increase the risk of injury.
• Follow instructions for changing accessories.
Improperly tightened blade securing nuts or bolts
may either damage the blade or result in it becoming
detached.
• The rated rotational speed of the blade must be
at least equal to the maximum rotational speed
marked on the machine. Blades running faster than
their rated rotational speed can break and y apart.
• Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury by
ying debris or accidental contact with the cutting
line or blade.
• While operating the machine, always wear safety
footwear. Do not operate the machine when
barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces
the chance of injury to the feet from contact with a
moving cutter, line or blade.
• While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of
injury from thrown objects.
• Keep bystanders away while operating the machine. Thrown debris can result in serious personal
injury.
• Always use two hands when operating the
machine. Holding the machine with both hands will
avoid loss of control.
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutting line or blade
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the machine "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the
machine only when standing on the ground.
Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of
balance or control of the machine.
• Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control,
slipping and falling which may result in personal
injury.
• When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result
in personal injury.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter,
line or blade when the machine is operating.
Before you start the machine, make sure the
cutter, line or blade is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating the machine
may result in injury to yourself or others.
• Do not operate the machine above waist height.
This helps prevent unintended cutter or blade
contact and enables better control of the machine
in unexpected situations.
• When cutting brush or saplings that are under
tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension
in the wood bres is released, the brush or sapling
may strike the operator and/or throw the machine
out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the blade
and be whipped toward you or pull you o balance.
• Maintain control of the machine and do not touch
cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous
moving parts while they are still in motion. This
reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
• Carry the machine with the machine switched
o and away from your body. Proper handling of
the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
• When transporting or storing the machine, always
t the cover on metal blades. Proper handling of
the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the blade.
• Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting
heads and blades specied by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement parts may increase the risk
of breakage and injury.
• When clearing jammed material or servicing
the machine, make sure the switch is o and
the battery pack is removed. Unexpected starting
of the machine while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING
Blade thrust causes and related warnings:
WARNING
• Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or
backward motion of the machine, which may occur
when the blade jams or catches on an object such as
a sapling or a tree stump. It can be violent enough to
cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled
in any direction, and possibly lose control of the
machine.
• Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
• Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the
machine and position your arms to resist blade
thrust. Position your body to the left side of the
machine. Blade thrust can increase the risk of injury
due to the machine moving unexpectedly. Blade
thrust can be controlled by the operator if proper
precautions are taken.
• If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch the machine o and hold
the machine motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. While the blade
is binding, never attempt to remove the machine
from the material or pull the machine backward
while the blade is in motion, otherwise blade
thrust may occur. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or
damaged blades increase the risk of jamming or
catching on an object, resulting in blade thrust.
• Always maintain good visibility of the material
being cut. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in
areas where it is dicult to see the material being cut.
• If you are approached by another person while
operating the machine, switch the machine o.
There is an increased risk of injury to other persons
being struck by the moving blade in the event of
blade thrust.
