Omissions in the compliancewithsafetydirections and instructions can cause electrical shock,reand/orsevereinjuries. Retain all safety directions and in- structions for future use. Theterm„powertool“inthewarningsrefers toyourmains-operated(corded)powertool orbattery-operated(cordless)powertool).

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutteredordarkareasinviteac- cidents.IEGB

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools createsparkswhichmayignitethedust or fumes. 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- edplugsandmatchingoutletswill reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re- frigerators. 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 enteringapowertoolwillincreasethe risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pull- ing 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 RCD (Residual Current Device) protected supply with a rated leakage current of not more than 30 mA. 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 operatingpowertoolsmayresultin seriouspersonalinjury. b) Use personal protective equip- ment. Always wear eye protec- tion.Protectiveequipmentsuchasdust mask,non-skidsafetyshoes,hardhat, orhearingprotectionusedforappro- priateconditionswillreducepersonal 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.Carryingpowertoolswithyour ngerontheswitchorenergisingpow- er 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- tachedtoarotatingpartofthepower toolmayresultinpersonalinjury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Thisenablesbettercontrolofthepower toolinunexpectedsituations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. KeepGB IE

your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caughtinmovingparts. g) If dust extraction and collection devices can be installed, make sure that these are connected and used correctly. Use of dust collectioncanreducedust-relatedhaz- ards. h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of se- curity and do not disregard the safety rules for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times. Careless action can lead to serious injuries within a fraction of a second.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.Thecorrectpowertool 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.Anypowertoolthatcannotbe controlled with the switch is dangerous andmustberepaired. c) Remove the plug from the wall socket and/or remove the re- chargeable battery before you change the device’s settings, change accessory parts or put away the power tool.Suchpre- ventive safety measures reduce the risk ofstartingthepowertoolaccidentaIly. 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) Look after the power tool and application tool carefully. 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. Manyaccidentsarecausedbypoorly maintainedpowertools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properlymaintainedcutting toolswithsharpcuttingedgesareless Iikelytobindandareeasiertocontrol. 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.Useofthepowertoolforop- erations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Allbatteryrepairsshouldbecar- ried out by the manufacturer or author- ised customer service centres only. Attention! Observe the de- tailed safety information and notes on charging and proper use as shown in the instruction manual for your battery and charger from the Parkside X 20 V Team series. A detailed description of the charging process and further informa- tion can be found in the sepa- rate operating instructions. Safety instructions for hedge trimmers a) Keep all body parts away from the blade. Do not attempt to re- move clippings or to hold onto material to be cut when the blades are running. The blades con- tinue to move after turning off the switch. A moment of inattention when using the trimmer can result in serious injuries. b) Hold the hedge trimmer by the handgrip when the blade is at a standstill and make sure you do not press the switch. Carrying the hedge trimmer correctly reduces the riskofinadvertentoperationandbeing injured by the blade as a result. c) Always place the protective cov- er onto the blades while trans- porting or storing the hedge trimmer.Careful handling of the hedge trimmer reduces the risk of injury from the blade. d) Ensure that all switches are turned off and the battery is removed or switched off before removing jammed clippings or maintaining the machine. Unex- pectedoperationofthehedgetrimmer when removing jammed material can lead to serious injuries.GB IE

e) Hold the hedge trimmer only by the insulated gripping surfaces as the cutting blades may come into contact with hidden wiring. The blades coming into contact with a live wire can also cause a charge in metalpartsoftheapplianceandresult in an electric shock. f) Keep all mains cables and lines away from the cutting range. Cables and lines may be concealed in hedgesandbushesandbeinadvert- ently cut by the blade. g) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather, especially if there is a danger of a storm. Thisreduc- es the risk of being struck by lightning. Additional safety instructions
