WARNING
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
The power cord on this product contains
lead, a chemical known to the State
of California to cause birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
Use of this product may cause exposure
to chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects,

General Safety Rules
WARNING: When using electric gardening appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
Read all instructions.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1.
Work area safety
A.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
B.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
C.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2.
Electrical safety
A.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
B.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
C.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
D.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
E.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a supply protected by a residual
current device (RCD) in AUS or a ground fault
interrupt (GFI) in the USA.
Use of an RCD or GFI reduces the risk of electric shock.
F.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
G.
Disconnect the plug from the power source when
the appliance is not in use.
3.
Personal safety
A.
Stay alert; watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
B.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
C.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
D.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
E.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
