_ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
_ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
_ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
_ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
_ Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
_ 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 power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
_ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
_ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
_ 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.
_ Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
_ If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
Power tool use and care
_ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
_ Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
_ Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
_ Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
_ 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.
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.
Shrub shears safety warning
_ 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 machine may result in serious
personal injury.
_ Carry the machine by the handle with the
cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
storing the machine always fit the cutting device
cover.
Proper handling of the machine will reduce possible
personal injury from the cutter blades.
_ Keep cables away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
Grass shears safety warning
_ Keep supply and extension cords away from
cutting means.
_ Use the machine only in daylight or good artificial
light.
_ Never operate the machine with damaged guards
or shields or without guards or shields in place.
_ Switch on the motor only when the hands and feet
are away from the cutting means.
_ Always disconnect the machine from the power
supply (i. e. remove the plug from the mains or
remove the disabling device)
– whenever leaving the machine unattended
– before clearing a blockage
– before checking, cleaning or working on the unit
– after striking a foreign object
– whenever the machine starts vibrating abnormally
_ Take care against injury to feet and hands from
the cutting means.
_ Always ensure that the ventilation openings are
kept clear of debris.
