SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this outdoor power equipment.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "outdoor power equipment" in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
outdoor power equipment or battery-operated
(cordless) outdoor power equipment.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate outdoor power equipments
in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Outdoor power equipments create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
EN
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a outdoor power equipment.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Outdoor power equipment plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) outdoor power equipments.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock. Do not
operate the machine in rain or wet conditions.
This may increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the outdoor
power equipment. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a outdoor power equipment
outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a outdoor power equipment in a
damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of
4
an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a outdoor
power equipment. Do not use a outdoor
power equipment while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating outdoor
power equipments may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying outdoor power
equipments with your finger on the switch or
energising outdoor power equipments that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the outdoor power equipment on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the outdoor power equipment may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the outdoor power equipment in unexpected
situations.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4. Outdoor Power Equipment use and care
a) Do not force the outdoor power equipment.
Use the correct outdoor power equipment for
your application. The correct outdoor power
equipment will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the outdoor power equipment
if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any outdoor power equipment that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) 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
outdoor power equipments. Such preventive
