SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Use non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves when operating

the shrubber and when installing or removing blades.

Replace any blade or other parts that are cracked or

damaged. Always make sure blade is installed correctly

and securely fastened before each use. Failure to do so can

cause serious personal injury to the operator, bystanders,

or damage to the unit.

Never cut any material over 3/8 in. diameter.

Maintain a firm grip on handle while cutting with a blade.

Keep the blade away from body.

Know how to stop the unit quickly in an emergency.

Check damaged parts. Before further use of the shrubber,

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,

mounting, 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.

Install the padlock (not included) or lock-out pin into

the switch before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the shrubber. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the product

accidentally.

Service on the product must be performed by qualified

repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user

or damage to the product.

Always stop motor and install padlock (not included) or

lock-out pin into switch when not in use, before attempting

to remove any obstruction caught or jammed in the blade,

and before removing, installing, or making any blade

adjustments.

Battery powered units do not have to be plugged into an

outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.

Be aware of possible hazards even when the unit is not

operating.

NEVER attempt to change the cutting attachments without

first padlocking (not included) the switch or installing the

lock-out pin into the switch.

Never use shrubber if the switch will not turn the unit on

or off. A unit that cannot be controlled by the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired before use.

Shrubber is for cutting hedges and shrubbery only. Do

not use for any other purpose.

Maintain shrubber with care. Keep cutting edge sharp

and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk

of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing

accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil

and grease.

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical

outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.

Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery

tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal

injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or

heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly

injury.

 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not

use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or

received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to

explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged

battery immediately.

Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the

presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light.

To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use

any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An

exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If

exposed, flush with water immediately.

For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a

location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less

than 100°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,

do not store outside or in vehicles.

Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use

them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan

someone this tool, loan them these instructions also to

prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
