IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE .
The term “power tool” in 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 ammable 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. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not operate the machine in rain or wet conditions. Water entering the machine
may increase the risk of electric shock or malfunction that could result in personal injury.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
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 inuence 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 a 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 nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
4
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or
modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk
of injury.
5
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to
re or temperature above 265℉ (130 °C) may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the
risk of re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
String Trimmer Safety Warnings
a) Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk
of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
b) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the machine is to be used. Wildlife
may be injured by the machine during operation.
c) Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove all
stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
d) Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see that the cutter or blade
and the cutter or blade assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts increase the
risk of injury.
e) Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improperly tightened blade securing
nuts or bolts may either damage the blade or result in it becoming detached.
f) Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate protective equipment will reduce
personal injury by ying debris or accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
g) While operating the machine, always wear non-slip and protective footwear. Do
not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces the
chanceof injury to the feet from contact with the moving cutters or lines.
h) While operating the machine, always wear long trousers. Exposed skin increases
the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
i) Keep bystanders away while operating the machine. Thrown debris can result in
serious personal injury.
j) Always use two hands when operating the machine. Holding the machine with both
hands will avoid loss of control.
k) Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutting
line or blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the machine "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
l) Always keep proper footing and operate the machine only when standing on the
ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the
machine.
m) Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
n) When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing, always work across the
face of slopes, never up or down and exercise extreme caution when changing
direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result
in personal injury.
6
o) Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or blade when the machine is
operating. Before you start the machine, make sure the cutter, line or blade is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating the machine may result
in injury to yourself or others.
p) Do not operate the machine above waist height. This helps prevent unintended
cutter or blade contact and enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
q) When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension, be alert for spring back.
When the tension in the wood bers is released, the brush or sapling may strike the
operator and/or throw the machine out of control.
r) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may
catch the blade and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
s) Maintain control of the machine and do not touch cutters, lines or blades and
other hazardous moving parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the risk
of injury from moving parts.
t) Carry the machine with the machine switched off and away from your body. Proper
handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with a moving
cutter, line or blade.
u) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and blades specied by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage and
injury.
v) When clearing jammed material or servicing the machine, make sure the switch
is off and the battery pack is removed. Unexpected starting of the machine while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
w) Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:
Battery Charger
BY8705-00, BY8708C-01, BY8708-00, BY8723C-00 SC5364-00, SC5376C-00
x) Damage to Trimmer - If you strike a foreign object with the trimmer or it becomes
entangled, stop the tool immediately, check for damage and have any damage repaired
before further operation is attempted. Do not operate with a broken guard or spool.
y) If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. A loose head
may vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer, which may result in serious or fatal
injury. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly xed in position. If the head
loosens after xing it in position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer with a
loose cutting attachment.
