GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCIONS FOR ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS
Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not work with the power tool in a hazardous environment where are flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. - Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with heart-hed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. . Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock.
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 and moving parts. Damagedor entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extensioncord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use commonsense when operating a power tool. Do not use a powertool 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.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can becaught in moving parts.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eyeprotection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
■ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is inthe off-position before connecting to power sourceand/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
■ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
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 reducedust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
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.
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.
■ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing powertools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
■ 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.
- Maintain power tools. 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 powertools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Pro-
perly maintainedcutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bindand are ea-
sier to control.
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.
Battery tool use and care
■ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of batterypack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery-pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated batterypacks. Use of any other battery packs may create arisk of injury and fire.
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 fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hedge trimmer safety warnings
- Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.Do not remove cut material nor hold material to be cutwhen blades are moving. Make sure the switch is offwhen clearing jammed material. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in seriouspersonal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutterblade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedgetrimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
