20. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appro-
priate conditions.
21. Be aware that this appliance is always in an
operating condition, because it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
22. Do not operate appliances in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Appliances create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
23. A battery operated appliance with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger for
the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one
type of battery may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery.
24. Use battery operated appliance only with spe-
cifically designated battery pack. Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fire.
25. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the appliance on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the appliance
may result in personal injury.
26. Do not use appliance if switch does not turn it
on or off. An appliance that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
27. Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one appliance may create a
risk of injury when used on another appliance.
28. Appliance service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or mainte-
nance performed by unqualified personnel may
result in a risk of injury.
29. When servicing an appliance, use only identi-
cal replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
30. Before cutting grass, remove foreign matter
such as rocks and large sticks from the work
area. Be careful not to catch foreign matter
between blades, otherwise blades may be
jammed. If this happens, switch the appliance off.
Then remove the obstruction from the blades.
31. When not in use, be sure to cover the blades
with blade cover.
32. If the blades stop moving due to the stuck of
foreign objects between the blades during
operation, switch off the tool and remove the
battery cartridge, and then remove the foreign
objects using tools such as pliers. Removing
the foreign objects by hand may cause an injury
for the reason that the blades may move in reac-
tion to removing the foreign objects.
33. During operation, keep bystanders or animals
at least 15 m (50 ft.) away from the tool. Stop
the tool as soon as someone approaches.
34. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
35. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the
tool when the battery cartridge is installed
and with finger on the switch. Make sure that
the switch is off when installing the battery
cartridge.
36. When not in use, attach the blade cover to the
tool and store the tool indoors in dry, and high
locked-up place, out of reach of children.
37. When attaching or removing the blade cover,
be careful not to injure your hands.
38. Before operation, examine the work area for
wire fences, stones, or other solid objects.
They can damage the blades.
39. Check the hedges and bushes for foreign
objects, such as wire fences or hidden wiring
before operating the tool.
Battery tool use and care
1.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
machine. Carrying the machine with your finger
on the switch or energizing machine that have the
switch on invites accidents.
2.
Disconnect the battery pack from the machine
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machine. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
machine accidentally.
Recharge only with the charger specified by
3.
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.
4.
Use machines only with specifically desig-
nated 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
5.
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.
6.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
7.
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
8.
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
9.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or machine outside of
the temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the machine
or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
