Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings - Hitachi CH 36DL Mode D'emploi

5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
6) Service
a) 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.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infirm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infirm persons.

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

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. A
moment of inattention while operating the shrub
shear may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the shrub shear by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
shrub shear always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
Hold 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.
Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CORDLESS HEDGE
TRIMMER
1. Before starting work make sure there are no power
cables in the work area. The blade could come into
contact with the power cable causing electric shock,
ground faults and other accidents.
2. Hold the tool firmly with both hands during use to
prevent injury.
3. Keep your hands and all parts of the body away from
the blade to prevent contact that could lead to injury.
4. Make sure the blade and all accessories are properly
installed. Improper installation could cause the blade
or accessories to come loose resulting in an injury.
5. Make sure the blade is not cracked, deformed or
excessively worn before starting work. Do not use a
blade in this condition as it could break and cause
injury.
6. Do not use the tool to cut wire, metal plates or
other hard objects. The tool could be damaged and
cause injury.
7. If the tool does not work normally and is producing
strange noise, turn it off immediately and have it
inspected and repaired.
8. If the tool falls or strikes against an object, check
the blade and the body for damage, cracking and
deformation. Use of a damaged, deformed or
cracked blade could result in injury.
9. Do not disassemble the blade. This may result in injury.
10. This product generates vibration during operation.
This makes long continuous work physically
strenuous so avoid a poor work posture and be sure
to take frequent rests. Also during short work periods,
stop work immediately to take a rest when your
fingers, hands, arms or shoulders become tired.
11. Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when
handling the blade. Careless handling may lead to
injury.
12. Do not expose the blade to excessive pressure
during cutting as the blade could be damaged.
13. The blade is extremely hot after cutting. Do not
touch it to prevent burn injuries.
14. When working in high places, make sure that no
one is standing below. They could be injured should
you accidentally drop the tool or other object.
15. To prevent unforeseen accidents, never leave the
tool running unattended on a stand or on the floor.
16. Do not expose the tool to insecticide and other
chemicals. Such chemicals could cause cracking
and other damage.
17. Do not secure the front switch or trigger switch pulled.
If you pull it by mistake, the unit may work suddenly,
causing injury.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY AND CHARGER
1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0 –
40°C. Charging the battery at temperatures outside
the range of 0 – 40°C may prevent proper charging
and reduce battery life.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that
of 20 – 25°C.
2. When one charging is completed, leave the charger for
about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
Do not charge the battery more than 2 hours.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Short-
circuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage
to the battery.
