TOOLCRAFT 1619740 Notice Originale page 26

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, 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.
e) 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.
• Before each use, check the power adapter, cable and plug for signs of damage. If the power
adapter is damaged, do not use it or attempt to repair it. In case of malfunction, repairs are to be
conducted by qualified personnel only.
• Never short-circuit the contacts of the battery pack.
• Never cover the power adapter. Keep the power adapter away from easily flammable materials (e.g.
curtains).
• Do not pull the power adapter out of the power outlet by the power cord and do not wrap the power cord
around the product.
• Never charge a battery unattended.
f) Shrub trimmer safety warnings
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material nor hold
material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed
material. A moment of inattention while operating the shrub trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the shrub trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
storing the shrub trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the shrub 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 or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
