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 power tools may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected 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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
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
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools.
Such preventive 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 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
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely 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 conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c)When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other 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 a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush wih water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Hedge trimmer safety warnings:
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off
when clearing jammed material.
A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may
result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
