General Safety Warnings for Trimmers
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
u
and specifications provided with this machine. Failure
to follow the safety warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future
u
reference.
The term machine in the warnings refers to your mains-
u
operated (corded) machines or battery-operated (cord-
less) machines.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
u
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate the machine in explosive atmospheres,
u
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating
u
the machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control
over the machine. Never operate the machine while
people, especially children or pets, are nearby.
Electrical safety
The plug of the machine must match the outlet. Never
u
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
u
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat-
ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose the machine to rain or wet conditions.
u
Penetration of water in the machine increases the risk of
an electric shock.
Never use the cord for carrying, hanging up or unplug-
u
ging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension
u
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
When operating the machine in damp environments is
u
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD). The
use of a residual current device (RCD) reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
u
sense when operating the machine. Do not use a ma-
chine while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
