Hazard levels DANGER ● Indication of an imminent threat of danger that will lead to severe injuries or even death. 몇 WARNING ● Indication of a potentially dan- gerous situation that may lead to severe injuries or even death. 몇 CAUTION ● Indication of a potentially dan- gerous situation that may lead to minor injuries. ATTENTION ● Indication of a potentially dan- gerous situation that may lead to damage to property. General Power Tool Safety Instructions 몇 WARNING ● Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri- ous injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1 Work area safety a Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents. b Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos- pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c Keep children and by- standers away while oper- ating 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 adapt- er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock. b Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces such as pipes, radia- tors, 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 elec- tric shock.English 19 d Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car- rying, pulling or unplug- ging 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. e When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex- tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re- duces the risk of electric shock. f If operating a power tool in a damp location is una- voidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro- tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. 3 Personal safety a Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operat- ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influ- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in se- rious personal injury. b Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri- ate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi- tion before connecting to power source and/or bat- tery 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. d 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 pow- er tool may result in personal injury. e Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. This ena- bles better control of the power tool in unexpected sit- uations. 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. g If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-20 English traction and collection fa- cilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related haz- ards. 4 Power tool use and care a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow- er tool for your applica- tion. The correct power tool will do the job better and saf- er 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 battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, chang- ing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven- tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d 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 us- ers. 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 op- eration. 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 main- tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g Use the power tool, acces- sories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these in- structions, taking into ac- count the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif- ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5 Battery tool use and care a Recharge only with the chargers 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. b Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of anyEnglish 21 other battery packs may cre- ate a risk of injury and fire. c When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metallic ob- jects, like paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metallic ob- jects that can make a con- nection from one terminal to another. Shorting the bat- tery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. d Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc- curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi- tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat- tery may cause irritation or burns. 6 Service a Have your power tool ser- viced by a qualified repair person using only identi- cal replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety instructions for lopping shears The device has a fixed length of p. 27

The following dangers can be present when using the device: Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools for the job, use the handles provided and restrict the working time and hazard exposure time. Severe injuries through con- tact with the cutting tools. Keep cutting tools away from hands and feet. Fit the blade guard when not using the de- vice, also during short work breaks. Injuries caused by hurled ob- jects, e.g. B. wood chips and splinters. Risk reduction 몇 CAUTION ● Using the device for longer pe- riods can cause poor circula- tion in the hands due to vibrations. A general period of use cannot be set, because this depends on several influ- encing factors: Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (fre- quently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fingers) Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect your hands. Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circulation. Continuous operation is more harmful than operation inter- rupted by work breaks. You should see a doctor if us- ing the device regularly and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of repeated occur- rences of symptoms such as tingling in the fingers or cold fingers.
