7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
8.
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
4.
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
1.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Cordless trimmer safety warnings
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
1.
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by your hand or against
the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
2. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
3. Only use a trimmer bit that is rated at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the
tool. If the tool has a variable speed control
function, set the tool speed under the speed
rating of the trimmer bit.
4. The trimmer bit shank must match the
designed collet chuck.
5. Wear hearing protection during extended
period of operation.
6. Handle the trimmer bits very carefully.
Check the trimmer bit carefully for cracks or
7.
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged trimmer bit immediately.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
8.
nails from the workpiece before operation.
9. Hold the tool firmly.
10. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
Make sure the trimmer bit is not contacting the
11.
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
12. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate improperly
installed trimmer bit.
13. Be careful of the trimmer bit rotating direction
and the feed direction.
14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
15. Always switch off and wait for the trimmer bit
to come to a complete stop before removing
the tool from workpiece.
16. Do not touch the trimmer bit immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
17. Do not smear the base carelessly with thin-
ner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause
cracks in the base.
18. Use trimmer bits of the correct shank diameter
suitable for the speed of the tool.
19. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
20. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
