6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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,
8.
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.
9.
When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1.
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.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
4.
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. 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
1.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
4.
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
Cordless grass trimmer safety
warnings
1.
Do not use the machine in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
2.
Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where
the machine is to be used. Wildlife may be
injured by the machine during operation.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Improperly tightened blade securing nuts or bolts
may either damage the blade or result in it becom-
ing detached.
The rated rotational speed of the blade must
6.
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.
7.
Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce per-
sonal injury by flying debris or accidental contact
with the cutting line or blade.
8.
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 con-
tact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
9.
While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of
injury from thrown objects.
10. Keep bystanders away while operating the
machine. Thrown debris can result in serious
personal injury.
11.
Always use two hands when operating the
machine. Holding the machine with both hands
will avoid loss of control.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
