the unit and charger before each use. If there  
is any damage, do not use until damage is re-  
paired by your authorized service dealer.  
S Do not insert any object into the motor area.  
S Battery-powered units do not have to be

tion. Be aware of possible hazards when you  
are not using your battery-powered unit.  
S Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire.  
The cell may explode. Check with local code  
for proper disposal. Do not open or mutilate

blades away from your body.  
IMPORTANT!  
DISPOSE OF YOUR OLD  
BATTERIES SAFELY.  
DO NOT CUT OPEN, BURN OR  
INCINERATE.  
S Secure the unit before storing or transport-  
ing it in a vehicle.  
S Store unit so blades cannot accidentally  
cause injury.  
DOUBLE INSULATION  
CONSTRUCTION  
S Do not store near fertilizers or chemicals  
which can corrode metal parts.  
The charger supplied with this unit is double  
insulated to help protect against electric  
shock. Double insulation construction con-  
sists of two separate “layers” of electrical in-  
sulation instead of grounding.  
S Store unit indoors in a high, dry place out of  
the reach of children.  
S Do not hang unit so that the trigger switch is  
depressed.  
Tools built with this insulation system are not  
intended to be grounded. No grounding  
means is provided on this unit, nor should a  
means of grounding be added to this unit.  
Safety precautions must be observed when  
operating any electrical tool. The double in-  
sulation system only provides added protec-  
tion against injury resulting from an internal  
electrical insulation failure.  
BATTERY CARE  
S If over a period of time the battery pack  
quickly runs down after a full 5--6 hour  
charging period,  
pack is needed.  
S There will be some charge present in the bat-  
tery pack, but to ensure maximum running  
time, recharge your battery pack for 5--6  
hours before use.  
a
replacement battery  
S To prevent permanent battery damage, never  
store in a discharged condition.  
S Contact your authorized service dealer for  
a replacement battery pack and for safe  
disposal of your old battery pack.
