Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
• Check damaged parts before using the appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, damaged mountings, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• Do not charge appliance in rain, or in wet locations.
• Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the gardening appliance.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
