Safety At The Workplace; Electric Safety; Use; Maintenance - CAMPAGNOLA Stark Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

• Leakage of liquid from the battery could cause injuries to the operator. Do not touch the battery fluid. In case of
contact, rinse abundantly with clean water. If the liquid comes into contact with the eyes, thoroughly rinse with clean
water and immediately contact a specialized doctor.
Carefully read the following instructions. Failure to follow them could cause electric shocks, fire or serious
damages.
2.2.1

Safety at the workplace

• Use the shear only in good visibility conditions. A dark work area could cause accidents. Do not make cuts in low
light conditions, such as in the dark in closed or open environments, at night, at sunset, at dawn, with dust / sand in
the air that prevents clear visibility from less than 2 meters. To check whether the visibility is acceptable, put the
tool at 2 meters with visible labels, which must be clearly read.
• Do not use the shear in an explosive, flammable or damp environment.
• Keep children, bystanders or animals at a safe distance before operating the shear, in order to avoid dangers or
injuries. When determining the safety distance, assess the risk of taut branches being thrown at people, objects or
animals. Under normal conditions of tension, 5 meters is the adequate safety distance from the ends of the
branches.
2.2.2

Electric safety

• The supplied battery charger needs a socket which is compatible with its amperage and power supply voltage. Do
not modify either the plug or the socket.
• Before, during or after its use, do not leave the shear in the rain or water, in humid environments or in any other
damp condition, in order to avoid the risk of electric shocks or short circuits.
• Keep the shear away from heat, oil, solvents, sharp edges and moving parts.

Use

• Use the tool only for the purposes described in par "Product description". Any other use could cause injuries and is
expressly forbidden by the Manufacturer.
• Do not use the tool if it is damaged, wrongly adjusted or not completely assembled.
• Always leave the shear with the blade group (1-2) closed.
• Wear protective glasses or a visor, safety shoes, anti-vibration gloves and a noise-abatement headset (par. 2.8).
• Keep a safe and stable working position, which guarantees a perfect balance (i.e. flat and dry surfaces).
• The switched-on LED light (8) indicates that the tool is working.
• Do not leave the tool in the rain. Keep it in a dry place.
• Do not use a battery charger other than that supplied by the Manufacturer. Neglecting this requirement can cause
serious damages to the tool and to the user.
• When a shear is not operated, remove its battery and store it in a clean and dry place.

Maintenance

Before performing any maintenance operations or adjustments on the mechanical parts of the equipment, put
on heavy-duty work shoes, protective gloves and goggles.
• Routine maintenance and repairs can be carried out only by an operator with the necessary physical and intellectual
qualifications, as defined by the employer.
• Special maintenance (such as disassembling the gear motor or the main board) and repairs can be carried out only
by a qualified mechanic.
• Before any maintenance or adjustment operations, disconnect the tool from its battery
• Keep bystanders at least 2 meters away, when servicing or repairing the machine.
Only qualified mechanics are authorised to inactivate the tool safety devices, if any, when special maintenance is
•
to be performed. It is their responsibility to safeguard the operators and the machine and to re-activate the safety
devices as soon as maintenance work has been completed.
• All maintenance procedures not dealt with in this manual are to be performed at CAMPAGNOLA Authorised Service
Points.
• When maintenance or repairs have been completed, the machine can be started again only if duly authorised by the
qualified mechanic. The service mechanic must make sure:
- work has been completed;
- the machine runs in a trouble-free manner;
- the safety devices are activated;
- no one is working on the machine.
