18.6 Recommended temperature

ranges For optimum performance of the pruning shears, battery and charger, note the following tempera- ture ranges: — Charging: 5°C to 40°C — Use: -10°C to 40°C — Storage: -20°C to +50°C Ifthe battery is charged, used or stored outside the recommended temperature ranges, perform- ance may be restricted. Ifthe battery is wet or moist, allow the battery to dry for at least 48 h between 15°C and 50°C and with less than 70% humidity. Higher humidity may extend the drying time.

18.7 Sound and vibration values

The K-value for the sound pressure level is 2 dB(A). The K-value for the vibration level is 2 m/s?. STIHL recommends wearing hearing protection: — Sound pressure level LL measured according to EN 62841-1: < 70 dB(A). — Vibration level a, measured according to EN 62841-1: — Control handle: < 2.5 m/s?. The sound and vibration levels indicated were measured according to a standardized test method and can be used as a basis for compar- ing electric power tools. The actual sound and vibration levels may vary from the values indica- ted, depending on the type of application. The sound and vibration levels indicated can be used for an initial estimate of the sound and vibration stress. The actual sound and vibration stress has to be estimated. The times can be taken into account in the estimate when the electric power

This chapter reproduces the pre-formulated, gen- eral safety precautions specified in the IEC 62841 standard for hand-held motor-oper- ated electric tools. STIHL is obliged to publish these texts. The safety precautions and warnings on avoiding an electric shock given under “Electrical Safety" do not apply to STIHL cordiess products. WARNING Read all safety warnings, tions and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions lis- ted below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "electric power tool” in the safety warn- ings refers to mains-operated (corded) power tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.

24.2 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. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

24.3 Electrical safety

2) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (groun- ded) power tools.Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

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 electric shock. 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 entan-

gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

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) Ifoperating 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. 244 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. À moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

24 General Power Tool Safety Warnings hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. 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 energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. À wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better con- trol of the power tool in unexpected situa- tions. Dress properiy. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 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. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. À careless action can cause severe injury within a frac- tion of a second.

24.5 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 dan- gerous and must be repaired Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha- ble, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor- ing power tools. 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 0458-059-9601-A

operate the power tool. Power tools are dan- gerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi- tion that may affect the power tool's opera- tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier 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 situa- tion. 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.

24.6 Battery tool use and care

ü)] Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. À charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use power tools only with specifically desig- nated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk 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 connec- tion 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. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam- aged or modified. Damaged or modified bat- teries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or 0458-059-9601-A

français temperature above 130 °C may cause explo- sion. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instruc- tions. Charging improperly or at tempera- tures outside the specified range may dam- age the battery and increase the risk of fire. 4€00"2+80-00000
