Personal Safety; Battery Tool Use And Care; Power Tool Use And Care; Backpack Sprayer Specific Safety Warnings - AEG ABS1858B Original Instructions Manual

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injury.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
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.
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. 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. lf contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. lf 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
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery
packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised service providers.

BACKPACK SPRAYER SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

Do not spray flammable liquids, such as gasoline, to reduce the
risk of fire or explosion.
The sprayer shall be used only with plant protection products
follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions printed on their
product labeling for use, cleaning, and storage. Chemicals
should be stored out of the reach of children.
Do not spray any material where the hazard is not known.
To reduce exposure to spray materials, wear approved safety
equipment, such as face mask designed for spraying, gloves,
and other appropriate protective equipment.
