Milwaukee 2726-20 Manuel De L'utilisateur page 3

• 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 265°F (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 im-
properly 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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
HEDGE TRIMMERS
• Keep hands away from blade.
DANGER
Contact with blade will result in
serious personal injury. Keep all parts of the body
away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when blades
are moving. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. Blades coast after
turned off. A moment of inattention while operating
the trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Use both hands when operating the trimmer. Using
one hand could cause loss of control and result in
serious personal injury.
• Carry the trimmer by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper
handling of the trimmer will reduce possible personal
injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
•Do not use tool while standing on a ladder, rooftop,
or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Always wear eye protection, hearing protection,
and protective clothing and footwear. Wear heavy,
long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves. Contain
long hair. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Do
not wear short pants, sandals, or go barefoot.
•Risk of eye injury. Keep bystanders at least 15' away
during use. Objects may be thrown or ricochet in
all directions.
•Handles and guard must be properly installed during
use. Using the trimmer without both handles and the
guard installed can result in serious personal injury.
•Use both hands when operating the trimmer. Maintain
a firm grip. Using one hand could cause loss of control
and result in serious injury.
• Do not use guard as a handle.
• Before starting the trimmer check the work area for
hidden objects, such as wires, fencing, etc. Striking
a solid object could cause loss of control and serious
personal injury.
• Do not start the trimmer with blade in contact with
an object. Allow tool to reach full speed before starting
the job.
• Never cut any material with a diameter larger than
3/4". The tool may stall or kickback, causing a risk of
injury.
• Always turn off the tool between cuts or when
transporting from one location to another. Do not
carry tool with finger on the trigger. Accidental starting
can cause serious personal injury.
• Before setting down the tool, turn the switch off,
ensure the blade has stopped, and remove the
battery pack.
• Keep tool clean of trimmings and debris.
• Always remove the battery pack when tool is not
in use.
•Never use a hose to clean the tool. Keep handles
dry, clean, and free from debris. See "Maintenance"
for cleaning instructions.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
•
Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
