1. Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather

conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.Thisdecreasestheriskofbeingstruck bylightning.

2. Keep all power cords and cables away from

ment will reduce the risk of hearing loss.

4. Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire maymakeexposedmetalpartsofthehedgetrim- mer "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

5. 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 continuetomoveaftertheswitchisturnedo󰀨.A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmermayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

6. When clearing jammed material or servic-

ing the hedge trimmer, make sure all power switches are o󰀨 and the battery pack is removed or disconnected. Unexpected actua- tionofthehedgetrimmerwhileclearingjammed materialorservicingmayresultinseriousper- sonalinjury.

7. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the

blade stopped and taking care not to operate any power switch.Propercarryingofthehedge trimmer will decrease the risk of inadvertent start- ingandresultantpersonalinjuryfromtheblades.

8. When transporting or storing the hedge trim-

mer, always use the blade cover. Proper han- dling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personalinjuryfromtheblades. Additional safety warnings Preparation

WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity

with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.12 ENGLISH Important safety instructions for battery cartridge

1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.

2. Do not disassemble or tamper with the battery

cartridge.Itmayresultinare,excessiveheat, or explosion.

3. If operating time has become excessively

shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.

4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them

out with clear water and seek medical atten- tion right away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.

5. Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) Do not touch the terminals with any con- ductive material. (2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con- tainer with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc. (3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain. A battery short can cause a large current ow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.

6. Do not store and use the tool and battery car-

tridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if

it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery cartridge can explode in a re.

8. Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery

cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the battery cartridge.Suchconductmayresultina re,excessiveheat,orexplosion.

9. Do not use a damaged battery.

10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject

to the Dangerous Goods Legislation require- ments. Forcommercialtransportse.g.bythirdparties, forwarding agents, special requirement on pack- agingandlabelingmustbeobserved. Forpreparationoftheitembeingshipped,consult- ing an expert for hazardous material is required. Pleasealsoobservepossiblymoredetailed national regulations.

11. When disposing the battery cartridge, remove

it from the tool and dispose of it in a safe place. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal of battery.

12. Use the batteries only with the products

specied by Makita.Installingthebatteriesto non-compliantproductsmayresultinare,exces- siveheat,explosion,orleakofelectrolyte.

13. If the tool is not used for a long period of time,

the battery must be removed from the tool.

14. During and after use, the battery cartridge may

take on heat which can cause burns or low temperature burns. Pay attention to the han- dling of hot battery cartridges.

15. Do not touch the terminal of the tool imme-

diately after use as it may get hot enough to cause burns.

16. Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the

terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery cartridge.Itmaycauseheating,catchingre, burstandmalfunctionofthetoolorbatterycar- tridge,resultinginburnsorpersonalinjury.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-

tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove

it from the tool or the charger.

5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use

it for a long period (more than six months).13 ENGLISH FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched o󰀨 and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
