machine will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
■
Do not use the machine if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any machine that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
■
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the machine before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing machines. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the machine accidentally.
■
Store idle machines out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the machine or these instruc-
tions to operate the machine. Machines are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
■
Maintain machines and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the ma-
chine's operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained ma-
chines.
■
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are eas-
ier to control.
■
Use the machine, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the machine for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
■
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip-
pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the ma-
chine in unexpected situations.

Battery machine use and care

■
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
■
Use machines only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other bat-
tery 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 con-
nection 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. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If 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 modi-
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable be-
haviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
■
Do not expose a battery pack to fire or ex-
cessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explo-
sion.
■
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or machine
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.
3.1.6

Service

■
Have your machine serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the machine is maintained.
■
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be per-
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
3.2

Hedge trimmer safety warnings

■
Keep all parts of the body away from the
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are mov-
ing. Blades continue to move after the switch
is turned off. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in se-
rious personal injury.
■
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle
with the blade stopped and taking care
not to operate any power switch. Proper
carrying of the hedge trimmer will decrease
the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant
personal injury from the blades.
