b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufactur-
er or authorized service providers.
5.8. Hedge trimmer safety warnings
a) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather con-
ditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
b) Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
c) Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment will
reduce the risk of hearing loss.
d) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the blade may contact hidden
wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
e) Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do
not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. Blades continue to move after the switch
is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
f) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
hedge trimmer, make sure all power switches are
off and the battery pack is removed or disconnect-
ed. Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clear-
ing jammed material or servicing may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
g) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate any
power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will
decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant per-
sonal injury from the blades.
h) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from
the blades.
5.9. Extended-reach hedge trimmer safety
warnings
a) Always use head protection when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling
debris can result in serious personal injury.
b) Always use two hands when operating the extend-
ed-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge
trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control.
c) To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the ex-
tended-reach hedge trimmer near any electrical
power lines. Contact with or use near power lines may
cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
Inspect the surface to be cut carefully and remove any wires
■
or other obstructions.
The hedge trimmer is intended for work where the operator
■
is standing on the ground and not on a ladder or other
unstable surfaces.
