Service; Safety Instructions For Hedge Trimmers - PrimAster PMTHS 600 Original Instructions Manual

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack 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 unfamili-
ar 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. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If dama-
ged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Proper-
ly 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 inst-
ructions, 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 hazar-
dous 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) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical repla-
cement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:

Keep all parts of your body away from the
-
cutting blades. Do not try to remove cut-off
matter with the tool running. Do not try to
hold material to be cut off with your hand.
Remove cut-off matter that is stuck be-
tween the blades only with the tool being
switched off! When working with hedge trim-
mers even a short moment of inattentiveness
may result in severe injury.
Hold the power tool by its insulated han-
-
dling surfaces as the cutting blades might
get in touch with the tool's own power
cable. If the cutting blades should acciden-
tally cut into a live power cable this might turn
metal parts of the tool 'hot' thereby causing an
electric shock.
Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with
-
the cutting blades standing still. Always
put on the protection cover when trans-
porting or storing the hedge trimmer. Care-
ful handling reduces the risk of injury through
the cutting blades.
Keep the cable away from the cutting area.
-
When working with the trimmer the cable
might be hidden in bushes and accidentally
cut through.
• Check the hedge for hidden objects such as
wire fencing before beginning to cut.
• The hedge trimmer may not be used by per-
sons who are younger than 16 years of age
or by persons who have not been trained to
use it.
• Keep the hedge trimmer away from children,
other persons and pets.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. This could become
caught in moving parts. Wearing rubber
gloves and sturdy footwear is recommended.
Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
• Wear a dust mask if it is dusty where you are
working.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer if the cutter is
not properly secured or if it is damaged.
• Make sure before switching on the hedge
trimmer that the blades do not come into con-
tact with stones or rubble.
• When working, keep the cutter away from
your body and extremities.
• Do not cut hard objects. This can cause inju-
ries and damage the hedge trimmer.
• Use only in daylight or if there is sufficient
artificial lighting.
• Never carry the hedge trimmer by the cable
or pull on the cable to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil
and sharp edges.

store it in a dry location in such a way that the
blade is not exposed and the hedge trimmer
is out of the reach of children.
• The mains voltage must match the voltage
specified on the type plate.
