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.
• Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the gardening appliance.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the instructions for use and care. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• Be aware of blade thrust :
• Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts an object that it does not immediately cut.
• Blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the unit and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control of the unit.
• Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds.
• Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
• Condition of Unit before Use – The handles shall be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not attach any blade to a unit without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders. Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken, or damaged in any way. Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is more likely to snag and thrust.
