3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 General safety instructions for power tools

AL-KO HT 4055 - General safety instructions for power tools - 1

WARNING!

Read all safety instructions, instructions, illustrations and technical data that are provided with this power tool.

Failure to comply with the following instructions can lead to an electric shock, fire and/or series injuries.

- Keep all safety instructions and other instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with mains line) and to battery-operated power tools (without mains line).

3.2 Electrical safety

- Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as on pipes, heaters, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

- Keep electrical tools out of the rain and away from moisture. Water getting into an electrical tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

3.3 Personal safety

■ Be alert, pay attention to what you are doing and take a cautious approach to working with a power tool. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines. A moment's in-attentiveness when using the power tool can result in serious injury.

■ Wear personal protective equipment, and always use safety goggles. The injury risk can be reduced by wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip shoes, a protective helmet or ear defenders, depending on the type and application of the power tool.

■ Avoid starting to operate the appliance inadvertently. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the power tool. Accidents can be caused by leaving your finger on the

switch when you carry the power tool or when you connect it to the power supply.

■ Remove the adjusting tools or spanner before you switch on the power tool. A tool or spanner that is in a rotating part of the power tool can cause injury.

■ Avoid an abnormal bodily posture. Make sure you can stand safely and keep your balance at all times. This will enable you to control the power tool better if something unexpected happens.

■ Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear baggy clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be snagged on moving parts.

If dust extraction and catchment devices can be mounted, then these must be connected and correctly used. Using a dust extraction system can reduce the risk caused by dust.

■ Do not give yourself a false sense of safety; do not ignore the safety rules for power tools even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times.

One careless action can lead to serious injuries within seconds.

3.4 Use and handling of the electrical tool

  • Do not overload the power tool. Use the appropriate power tool for the job you are doing. Using the appropriate power tool will enable you to work more effectively and safely in the specified performance range.
  • Do not use a power tool if it has a defective switch. A power tool that can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
    ■ Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before you make adjustments to the appliance, replace parts or put the power tool away. This precautionary measure will prevent the power tool from starting inadvertently.
  • Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people to use the power tool if they are not familiar with it or have not read these instructions.

Power tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.

■ Look after power tools and the insertion tool with care. Check whether moving parts function perfectly and do not stick, whether there are any broken parts or parts that are damaged in such a way that the function of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents are caused by failure to maintain power tools properly.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharper cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
■ Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools, etc. according to these instructions. When doing so, take account of the working conditions and the activity to be undertaken. Using power tools for applications other than the intended purpose can result in dangerous situations.

- Keep the grips and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery grips and grip surfaces prevent safe operation and control of the power tool in unforeseen situations.

3.5 Safety in the workplace

- Keep your working area clean, and make sure it is well illuminated. Untidiness or dimly lit working areas can lead to accidents.

- Do not work with the power tool in a potentially explosive atmosphere with the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools give rise to sparks that can ignite the dust or vapours.

- Keep children and other people away from the power tool when using it. If you are distracted, you may lose control of the power tool.

3.6 Use and handling of the rechargeable battery-operated tool

■ Only recharge batteries with chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Using a charger intended for one particular type of

rechargeable battery with a different type of rechargeable battery represents a fire risk.

■ Only use batteries in the power tools that are intended for this purpose. Using other batteries can lead to injuries and represents the risk of fire.

- Keep the unused rechargeable battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could short-circuit the contacts. A short circuit between the rechargeable battery contacts can result in burns or fire.

■ Incorrect use can result in fluid leaking out of the rechargeable battery. Avoid coming into contact with it. In case of inadvertent contact, rinse off with water. If the fluid gets into your eyes, additionally seek medical assistance. Leaking rechargeable battery fluid can lead to skin irritations or burns.

■ Do not use a damaged or changed rechargeable battery. Damaged or changed

batteries can behave unpredictably and lead to fire, explosion or a risk of injury.

■ Do not expose a rechargeable battery to fire or high temperatures. Fire or temperatures over 130 °C can cause an explosion.
■ Comply with all of the instructions for charging, and never charge the rechargeable battery or the rechargeable battery-operated tool outside of the temperature range specified in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside of the permissible temperature range can destroy the rechargeable battery and increase the risk of fire.

3.7 Service

■ For your own safety, only have your power tool repaired by qualified specialist personnel using genuine spare parts. This ensures that the power tool remains safe.
■ Never maintain damaged batteries. All rechargeable battery maintenance should only ever be undertaken by the manufacturer or authorised customer service points.

3.8 Safety instructions for hedge trimmers (IEC 60745-2-15)

  • Keep all body parts away from the cutting blade. Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold onto material to be cut when the blade is operating. Switch off the appliance before you remove trapped cut material. A moment's inattentiveness when using the hedge trimmer can result in serious injuries.
  • Carry the hedge trimmer using the handle, and make sure the blade is switched off. Always put on the protective cover when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Careful handling of the appliance reduces the risk of injury from the blade.
    ■ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutting blade may contact concealed electrical cables or its own cable. Contact between the cutting blade and a live cable can result in electrical current flowing through metal parts of the appliance, leading to an electric shock.

- Keep the cable away from the cutting area. During operation, the cable can become obscured in the bushes and accidentally severed.

3.9 Safety instructions relating to operation

AL-KO HT 4055 - Safety instructions relating to operation - 1

Danger

3.9.1 Vibration load

AL-KO HT 4055 - Vibration load - 1

WARNING!

Danger due to vibration

The actual magnitude of the vibration emissions during the use of the appliance may deviate from that stated by the manufacturer. Observe the following influencing factors before or during use:

■ Is the appliance being used as intended?
■ Is the material being cut or processed in the proper manner?
■ Is the appliance in a proper condition of use?
Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or is the correct cutting tool installed?
Are the handle grips and any optional vibration grips mounted, and are they firmly attached to the appliance?

■ Only operate the appliance at the motor speed required for the respective work. Avoid using the maximum speed in order to reduce noise and vibrations.

■ The noise and vibrations of the appliance can increase due to improper use and maintenance. This leads to damage of the health. In this case, immediately switch off the appliance and have it repaired by an authorised service workshop.

The degree of stress due to vibration depends on the work to be performed or on the use that the appliance is put to. Estimate the stress and plan appropriate work breaks. This considerably reduces stress due to vibration over the entire working time.

■ Extensive use of the appliance exposes the operator to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk, wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, immediately consult a physician. These symptoms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, itching, pain, reduced muscular strength, changes in the colour or condition of the skin. Normally these conditions affect the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increases at low temperatures.

Take long breaks during your working day so you can recover from the noise and the vibrations. Plan your work in such a way that the use of appliances that generate strong vibrations is spread over several days.
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or discolouration of the skin on your hands when using the appliance, stop work immediately. Take sufficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.
- Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibrations. Maintain the appliance according to the instructions in the operating instructions.
If the appliance is used frequently, contact your dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories (e.g. handles).
- Avoid working with the appliance at temperatures below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load can be limited in a work plan.

3.9.2 Noise pollution

A certain level of noise exposure from this appliance is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at approved and specified time periods. Observe rest periods as necessary and restrict the duration of the work to a minimum.

NOTE

Repair work is only allowed to be carried out by expert workshops or our AL-KO service centres.

  • Do not get the appliance wet or expose it to moisture.
    ■ After each use, clean the housing and cutting blades with a brush or cloth. Do not use water and/or aggressive cleaning agents or solvents - risk of corrosion and damage to the plastic parts.
    ■ Remove the battery and check for damage after each use.
    ■ Clean the cutting blade and spray with rust-proofing oil.
    ■ Regularly check the cutting blade. Contact an AL-KO service centre under the following circumstances:
    ■ Defective cutting blade
    Blunt cutting blade
    Excessive wear

■ Check all screws for tightness.
- Check the electrical contacts on the appliance for corrosion, clean with a fine wire brush if necessary and then spray with a contact spray.

8 TRANSPORT

Before transporting, carry out the following measures:

  1. Switch off the appliance.
  2. Remove the rechargeable battery from the appliance.
  3. Pack the battery properly.

AL-KO HT 4055 - TRANSPORT - 1

NOTE

The nominal energy of the rechargeable battery is less than 100 Wh. Therefore, heed the following transport instructions.

The li-ion rechargeable battery contained in the appliance is subject to the hazardous goods law, but can be transported under simplified conditions:

The undamaged rechargeable battery can be transported on public roads by the private user without further conditions provided it is packaged for retail sale and the transport serves personal purposes. The weight limits for batteries sent separately must be observed:

Max. 30 kg total weight per package when transported by road, rail and water
No upper limit for air transport but max. 2 pieces per package

If damage to the battery (e.g. due to the appliance falling) is suspected, transport is not permissible.

■ Commercial users who carry out the transport in connection with their main activity (e.g. delivery from and to building sites, or demonstrations) can also take advantage of this simplification.

In both cases, it is essential to take the mandatory precautions mentioned above to prevent any leakage of the contents. In other cases, it is essential to comply with the regulations of the hazardous goods law. In the case of non-compliance, severe penalties can be imposed on the sender and possibly the transporter.

Additional notes on transport and shipment

■ Only transport or ship lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in an undamaged state.
- Secure the appliance in such a way as to prevent it from starting to operate inadvertently during transport.
- Secure the appliance with strong outer packaging (cardboard shipment box). Use the manufacturer's original packaging if possible.
■ Ensure correct identification and documentation of the consignment during transport or dispatch (e.g. by parcel or forwarding):

When transporting by road, rail and water, a warning sticker must be applied to the packaging when the battery/batteries accompany the appliance. No warning sticker is necessary if the battery/batteries are installed or fitted into the appliance, since the outer packaging/original packaging must already comply with specific regulations.

A warning sticker must always be placed on the packaging when transporting by air. The maximum weight limits for batteries sent together with the appliance must be observed: max. 5 kg battery weight per package and max. 2 pieces per package, if the battery/batteries are accompanying the appliance.

Please find out in advance whether transport is possible with the selected service provider, and show your shipment.

We recommend involving a hazardous goods specialist in the preparation of the shipment. Please heed any other national regulations.

9 STORAGE

9.1 Storing the appliance (04)

The blade guard can be attached to the wall as a holder for the hedge trimmer (04). Ensure that the fixing screws are tight!

Thoroughly clean the appliance and its accessories after each use and – if present – attach all covers.
■ Store the appliance in a dry place protected against frost.
- Keep out of the reach of children and unauthorised persons.

Carry out the following jobs before intervals in work lasting for longer than 30 days:

■ Clean the cutting blade and spray with rust-proofing oil.
■ Thoroughly clean the appliance and store it in a dry place.

9.2 Storing the battery and charger

AL-KO HT 4055 - Storing the battery and charger - 1

DANGER!

Danger of explosion and fire!

Persons will be fatally or severely injured if the rechargeable battery explodes because it was stored in front of naked flames or heat sources.

■ Store the rechargeable battery in cool and dry conditions, but not in front of naked flames or heat sources.

AL-KO HT 4055 - Danger of explosion and fire! - 1

NOTE

When charging, the rechargeable battery is protected from overcharging due to automatic detection of the charge status and thus can remain connected to the charging unit for some time, but not permanently.

  • Store the rechargeable battery in a dry, frost-free place at a storage temperature between 0°C – +35 °C and with a charge state of approx. 40 – 60 %.
    Due to a risk of short-circuit, do not store the battery near metallic or acid-containing objects.
    The battery must be recharged after a certain storage period. Please also comply with the rechargeable battery operating instructions.
