SAFETY WARNINGS FOR WORKING WITH THE HEDGE TRIMMER

Never point the trimmer at yourself or others when the weather conditions are unfavorable, especially when the blades are wet. This reduces the risk of injury from the blades. Keep the guards and cables away from the cutting area. The guards and cables can be caught in the blades and may be accidentally cut by the sharp edges. Wear anti-noise protection. Hearing protection devices do not reduce the risk of hearing loss. Keep the trimmer head away from the cutting surface, as the sharp edges may come into contact with hidden cables. The sharp edges that come into contact with a conductor carrying current may cause the current to flow through the uninsulated metal parts of the trimmer head and result in an electric shock to the operator. Keep all parts of your body away from the sharp edges. Do not remove cut material and do not hold material you are cutting while the blades are moving. The blades continue to rotate after the motor is switched off. Failure to pay attention while working with the product may result in serious physical injury. When you are replacing the cutting material or servicing the brush cutter, make sure that all guards are disconnected and the battery is removed or disconnected.

General safety warnings for the product

WARNING! Read all safety rules, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Keep all instructions and warnings for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work in a clean and well-lit area. Working in a dark or poorly lit area can lead to accidents. Do not use power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The plug of the power tool must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed. 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 the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled 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. 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 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. A 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, hard hat, or hearing protection used in appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Hold the power tool correctly and balance the entire time. This allows you to better control the tool in unexpected situations. Hold it correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can get caught in moving parts. If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection, make sure they are connected and used correctly. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related hazards. Do not let familiarity with the tool make you careless. Remember that a moment of carelessness can lead to serious injury.

USE AND CARE OF THE POWER TOOL

Do not overload 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. Before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power tool, disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack from the power tool if it is detachable. 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 and accessories. 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 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.

Performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. The handle and gripping surfaces of the tool must be kept dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

USE OF THE TOOL ON BATTERIES

Use only the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use the power tool only with the specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 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, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. Do not use a damaged or modified battery pack or tool. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior, leading to fire, explosion, and risk of injury. 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 instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool at temperatures outside the specified range. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
