It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration and/or noise emission

level represents the main applications ofthe tool. However, ifthe tool used for diférent applications, with different accessories oris poorly maintained, the vibration and/or noise emission may diffr. This may signiflcant increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation ofthe level ofexposure to vibration and/or noise should also take into account thetimes when the tools switched ofor when ii running but not actual doing the job. This may significant reduce the exposure level over the total working period. identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects ofvibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm (relevant for vibration) organisation ofwork patterns EC-Decaration of Conformity Machinery Directive

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,

illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ire and/or serious injury:

The term “power tool”in the wamings refers to your mains-operated {corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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 umes.

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. Keep children and bystanders away while operating Unmodified 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 ofelectric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c} Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for canying, 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 ofelectric shock. Hfoperating 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.

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 ofinattention 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 shoës, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injures. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is inthe off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying

ENGLISH the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the suñtch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. À wrench or a key lefattached to a rotating part ofthe power tool may result in personal injury. <) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

À careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 ifthe 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 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 ofstarting the power tool accidentalÿ. Store idle power tools out ofthe 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage ofparts and any other condition that may affect the power tool operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by pooriy maintained power tools Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properiy maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less like) 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 ofthe 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. Sippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control ofthe tool in unexpected situations.

5) Battery Tool Use and Care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. À charger that is suitable for one type ofbattery pack may create arisk offre when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create arisk ofinjury and fire. When battery packs 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 orañre d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. [liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause iitation or burns e) Donotuse a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fre, explosion or risk ofinjury. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk offre.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety ofthe power tool is maintained. b} Never service damaged battery packs. Service ofbattery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or autharised service providers Safety Instructions for Hedge Trimmers Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings a) Donotuse the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
