Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. 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 con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery
pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect
the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, 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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
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 maintained.
2.3 Safety instructions for
operating the grass shears
DANGER
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRASS
SHEARS
Do not use the grass shear in bad weat-
her conditions, especially when there is
a risk of lightning. This decreases the
risk of being struck by lightning.
Keep all power cords and cables away
from the cutting area. Power cords or
cables could be accidentally cut by the
blade.
Hold the grass shear by the insulated
handle surfaces only, as the blade
may come in contact with hidden
power lines. Contact of the blades
with a live cable can energize metal
parts of the grass shear and result in
an electric shock.
Keep all parts of the body away from
the blade. Do not remove cut materi-
al or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. Blades continue
to move after the switch is turned
off. A moment of inattention while
operating the grass shear may result
in serious personal injury.
When removing trapped clippings or
carrying out maintenance on the
grass shear, make sure the on/off
switch (D) is turned off, the mains
cable is unplugged and the power
lock is engaged or the battery is
removed. Unexpected start-up of the
grass shear when removing trapped
clippings or carrying out mainte-
nance can result in serious injury.
Carry the grass shear by the handle
with the blade stopped and taking
care not to operate any power
switch. Proper carrying of the grass
shear will decrease the risk of inad-
vertent starting and resultant perso-
nal injury from the blades.
When transporting or storing the
grass shear, always use the blade
cover. Proper handling of the grass
shear will decrease the risk of perso-
nal injury from the blades.
