Worx WG186E Series Manual page 9

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.
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
Cordless Grass Line Trimmer & Brushcut-
ter, Attachment-Capable
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.
BRUSH CUTTER AND
GRASS 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 or blade and the cutter or
blade assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts
increase the risk of injury.
e) Follow instructions for changing accessories.
Improperly tightened blade securing nuts or
bolts may either damage the blade or result in it
becoming detached.
f) The rated rotational speed of the blade must be
at least equal to the maximum rotational speed
marked on the machine. Blades running faster than
their rated rotational speed can break and fly apart.
g) Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reducepersonal injury by
flying debris or accidental contact with the cutting
line or blade.
h) While operating the machine, always wear safety
footwear. Do not operate the machine when
barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces
the chance of injury to the feet from contact with a
moving cutter, line or blade.
i) While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of
injury from thrown objects.
j) Keep bystanders away while operating the
machine. Thrown debris can result in serious
personal injury.
k) Always use two hands when operating the
machine. Holding the machine with both hands will
avoid loss of control.
l) 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.
