◾
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 surface 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
◾
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 objects, that can
make a connection 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 modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
◾
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
◾
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool 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.
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.
◾
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR LINE TRIMMER
◾
Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
◾
Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the
machine during operation.
◾
Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires,
bones, and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can
cause personal injury.
◾
Before using the machine, always visually inspect
to see that the cutter or blade and the cutter or
blade assembly are not damaged. Damaged parts
increase the risk of injury.
◾
Follow instructions for changing accessories.
Improperly tightened cutter securing nuts or bolts
may either damage the blade or result in it becoming
detached.
◾
Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
◾
While operating the machine, always wear non-
slip and protective footwear. Do not operate the
machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
This reduces the chance of injury to the feet from contact
with the moving cutters or lines.
◾
While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury
from thrown objects.
◾
Keep bystanders away while operating the
machine. Thrown debris can result in serious personal
injury.
◾
Always use two hands when operating the
machine. Holding the machine with both hands will avoid
loss of control.
◾
Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutting line or blade
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades
contacting a «live» wire may make exposed metal parts of
the machine «live» and could give the operator an electric
shock.
◾
Always keep proper footing and operate the
machine only when standing on the ground.
Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance
or control of the machine.
