The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Risk of injury!
Do not use the product to cut lawns /
lawn edges, to chop up material or to
make compost.
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions!
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and / or serious injury.
