Work Area Safety; Electrical Safety; Personal Safety - Stiga CS 48 Li 14 Manual De Instrucciones

• Loss of hearing, if no ear protection
is used during work.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains operated (corded) power
tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase 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 lapse
of attention 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
appropriately will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before connecting
to power source and/ or battery pack
and when picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energizing 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 over-reach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
power tool for the 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 the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting
the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
• 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
