■
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.
■
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.
■
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
■
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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■
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.
■
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
■
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.
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.
■
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.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
■
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may cause explosion.
■
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.
SERVICE
■
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.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
■
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
GRASS TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
■
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.
■
Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the
machine during operation.
■
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.
■
Before using the machine, always visually inspect to
see that the cutter or blade and the cutter or blade
assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts increase
the risk of injury.
■
Follow instructions for changing accessories.
Improperly tightened blade securin
may either damage the blade or result in it becoming
detached.
■
Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
■
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 cutters or lines.
■
While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury
from thrown objects.
■
Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
■
Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutting line or blade may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the machine
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
■
Always use two hands when operating the machine.
Holding the machine with both hands will avoid loss of control.
■
Always keep proper footing and operate the
machine only when standing on the ground. Slippery
or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or
control of the machine.
Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
■
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
■
When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
■
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line
or blade when the machine is operating. Before you
start the machine, make sure the cutter, line or blade
is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention
while operating the machine may result in injury to
yourself or others.
■
Do not operate the machine above waist height.
This helps prevent unintended cutter or blade contact
and enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
