1.2 General safety instructions

1.2.1 General machine safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this machine. 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 „machine“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.1) Work area safetya) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distrac-tions can cause you to lose control.2) Electrical safetya) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. 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 expose machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. 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 machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-tric shock.f) If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residu-al current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.3) Personal safetya) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Pro- tective equipment such as 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 o-position before connecting to power source and /or battery pack, picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your nger on the switch or energising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.f) Dress properly. 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.g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and col-lection 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 machines allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.4) Machine use and carea) Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your applica-tion. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.b) Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any machine 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 machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measu- res reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.d) Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow per-sons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.e) Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or bin-ding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aect the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.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. en Electric Rotary Lawnmower Original instructions.
