General safety instructions for power tools WARNING! Read all safety direc- tions and instructions. Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, re and/or severe injuries. Retain all safety directions and in- structions for future use. The term “Power Tools” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and to battery-op- erated power tools (without power cord).

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac- cidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.66

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating 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. Unmodi- ed 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 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 carrying, 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 of electric shock. f) 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.

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 inu- ence of drugs, alcohol or medi- cation. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equip- ment. Always wear eye protec- tion. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro- priate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) 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 nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the pow- er tool on. A wrench or a key left at- tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This applies especially when working on slopes. This enables better control of the power tool in unex- pected situations. f) 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 be caught in moving parts.67

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and prop- erly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. h) Walk when holding the device in your hand. Do not run.

i) Do not touch any of the dange-

rous moving parts before you have removed the battery and all moving parts have come to a complete standstill. There is a risk of injury.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

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 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. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the bat- tery pack from the power tool before making any adjust -ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven- tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaIly. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not al- low persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) 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 main- tained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working condi- tions and the work to be per- formed. Use of the power tool for op- erations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Charge the batteries only in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of re if a charger that is suitable for a specic type of battery is used with other batteries. b) In the power tools, use only the batteries designed for the pur- pose. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and risk of re. c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects, which could cause bridging of the contacts. A short circuit between the battery con- tacts may cause burns or re. d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental contact, rinse off with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical68

assistance. Leaking battery uid may cause skin irritations or burns.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person us- ing only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Special Safety Directions for the cordless grass & shrub cutter

MERS a) Keep all body parts away from the blade. Do not attempt to remove clip- pings while the blade is operating or to hold on to material which is to be cut. Only remove trapped clippings when the tool is switched off. One moment of carelessness in the usage of the hedge trimmer can lead to severe injury. b) Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with an idle blade. Always pull on the protective cover during transport and storage of the hedge trimmer. Careful handling of the tool re- duces the risk of injury from the blade. c) Hold the power tool only on the insulated handle surfaces, as the cutting blade may come into con- tact with concealed power cables. Contact between the cutting blade and a live cable may render metallic compo- nents live and result in an elec- tric shock. d) Before the work, search the hedge for concealed objects, e.g. cable etc. To avoid damaging the equipment. e) Hold the hedge trimmer correctly, e.g. with both hands on the handles, if there are two handles. Loss of control of the equipment may result in injuries. f) Wear suitable clothing and work clothes when working with the equip- ment. Do not hold the equipment by the cutting blade or lift it on the cut- ting blade. Contact with the cutting blade can cause inju- ries.

ATED TOOLS a) To reduce the electric shock hazard, unplug the battery charger from the mains before cleaning the charger. b) Do not subject the battery to strong sunlight over long periods and do not leave it on a heater. Heat damages the battery and there is a risk of explosion. c) Allow a hot battery to cool before charging. d) Do not open up the bat- tery and avoid mechanical69

damage to the battery. Risk of short circuit and fumes may be emitted that irritate the respiratory tract. Ensure fresh air and seek medical assistance in the event of discomfort.
