Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings - Defort DGS-7,2-Li Mode D'emploi

● Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained 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 tho-
se intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
● Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the ma-
nufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with
another battery pack.
● Use power tools only with specifi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fi re.
● 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 fi re.
● Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additio-
nally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns. Service
● Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

HEDGE 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 inatten-
tion while operating the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury.
● Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer always fi t the cutting device cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible per-
sonal injury from the cutter blades.
● Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting blades contacting a "live" wire may make expo-
sed 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 acciden-
tally cut by the blade.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SHRUB/GRASS
SHEARS
● This tool is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction con-
cerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
● Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the machine. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator. When not in use store
the machine out of reach of children.
● The operator or user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occurring to other people or their property.
● Never operate the machine while people, especially
children or pets, are nearby.
● Keep supply fl exible cord away from cutting means.
● Wear eye protection and stout shoes at all times whi-
le operating the machine.
● Avoid trimming in bad weather conditions especially
when there is a risk of lightening.
● Use the machine only in daylight or good artifi cial
light.
● Check if guards and protective devices are unda-
maged and properly mounted. Before using, carry out
possibly necessary maintenance and repairs.
● Switch on the motor only when the hands and feet
are away from the cutting means.
● Always disconnect the machine from the power sup-
ply (i. e. remove the plug from the mains or remove the
disabling device):
– whenever you leave the machine,
– before clearing a blockage,
– before checking, cleaning or working on the machi-
ne,
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for
damage and make repairs as necessary,
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check
immediately).
● Take care against injury to feet and hands from the
cutting means.
● Before any work on the machine (e. g. maintenance,
changing the tool, etc.) as well as during its transport
and storage, lock the On/Off switch in the off position.
There is danger of injury when the On/Off switch is un-
intentionally actuated.
Protect the power tool against heat, e. g., against conti-
nuous intense sunlight, fi re, water, and moisture. Dan-
ger of explosion.
● In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY
CHARGERS
Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture.
Penetration of water in the battery charger increases
the risk of an electric shock.
● Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can
lead to danger of an electric shock.
● Before each use, check the battery charger. If da-
mage is detected, battery charger should be changed
to new one. Never open the battery charger yourself.
Have repairs performed only by a qualifi ed technician
and only using original spare parts. Damaged batte-
ry chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an
electric shock.
● Do not operate the battery charger on easily infl am-
mable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or surroun-
dings. The heating of the battery charger during the
charging process can pose a fi re hazard.
