Safety Warnings - Dolmar AH1851 Instruction Manual

Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN60745-2-15:
Model AH1851
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
Model AH1860
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
Model AH1875
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

Cordless Hedge Trimmer Safety
Warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold mate-
rial 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.
2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cut-
ting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from
the cutter blades.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces 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.
4. DANGER - Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
5. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in
wet or very damp conditions. The electric motor
is not waterproof.
