Additional Safety Warnings - Stiga SGT 2220 Manual De Instrucciones

SAFETY WARNINGS
7) Power tool use and care
a) 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 de-
signed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the accumulator from its compartment be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safe-
ty measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er 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 misalignment or ob-
struction of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. 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 main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less like-
ly to become jammed 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. Using the power tool for operations other than
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
8) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
