SAFETY RULES
OREGON® CORDLESS TOOL SYSTEM
HEDGE TRIMMER MODEL HT255
AD 0213 F/N 558936
• Do not use, charge, or store near heat
higher than °C (°F). This can
cause overheating and internal short-
circuiting.
• Do not expose to extremely wet
conditions. This can damage safety
features, cause extremely high current
and voltage charging, and lead to
abnormal chemical reactions.
• Use only the charger specifically
designed for the battery pack, and
follow the safety precautions described
in “Charger Safety”. Using another
charger can damage safety features,
cause extremely high current and
voltage charging, and lead to abnormal
chemical reactions.
• Do not use OREGON® branded battery
packs in non-OREGON® branded tools.
• Do not strike, pierce, or throw the
battery pack, and do not use a damaged
or deformed battery pack.
• If recharging fails, do not attempt to
recharge. If the battery pack gives off an
odor, generates heat, or is discolored,
deformed, or abnormal in any way
during use, recharging, or storage,
immediately remove from the hedge
trimmer or charger.
• Any liquid leaking from the battery is
corrosive, can damage eyes and skin,
and may be toxic if swallowed.
