c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, 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.
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 burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Cordless Grass Trimmer
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Lawn trimmer and lawn edge trimmer safety warnings
a) Do not use the machine in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
b) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where
the machine is to be used. Wildlife may be
injured by the machine during operation.
c) Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks,
wires, bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown
objects can cause personal injury.
d) Before using the machine, always visually
inspect to see that the cutter and the cutter
assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts
increase the risk of injury.
e) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is
loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly
may result in personal injury.
f) Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Blocked air inlets and debris may result in
overheating or risk of fire.
g) Wear eye protection and ear protection.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce
personal injury.
h) While operating the machine, always wear
non-slip and protective footwear. Do not operate
the machine when barefoot or wearing open
sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the
feet from contact with the moving cutter.
i) Always wear clothing such as trousers that
covers the operator's legs while operating the
machine. Contact with the moving cutter or line
may cause injury.
j) Keep bystanders away while operating the
machine. Thrown debris can result in serious
personal injury.
k) Do not operate the machine above waist height.
This helps prevent unintended cutter contact
and enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
l) Exercise caution when operating the machine
in wet grass. Walk, never run. This reduces the
