General Power Tool Safety Warnings
m WARNING!
Read all safety warnings
and instructions
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, re or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep work areas clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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 the
risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep
the cord a safe distance away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.

the off position before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
4) Use and care
a) Do not use the Grass Shear/Shrubber for
applications that are beyond its capacity. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer if it is used at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the tool applications 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

maintained cutting attachments with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

described in these instructions. Using the tool for
operations it is not intended for could cause damage to
the tool and hazardous situations. Always consider the
working conditions and the work to be performed.

of re when used with another battery pack.
b) Only use battery packs that are designated for this tool.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
c) When the battery pack is not in use, keep it at a
distance from other metal objects, such as paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to the
other. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a re.
