those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF
BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in charg-
ers that are recommended by the
manufacturer. Risk of fire if a charger
that is suitable for a specific type of bat-
tery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the bat-
teries designed for the purpose. The
use of other batteries may result in inju-
ries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws and other small metal ob-
jects, which could cause bridging of
the contacts. A short circuit between
the battery contacts may cause burns
or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak
from the battery. Avoid contact with
this. In the event of accidental con-
tact, rinse off with water. If the liquid
gets into eyes, seek medical assistance.
Leaking battery fluid may cause skin ir-
ritations or burns.
6) 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.
Special Safety Directions
1) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR
HEDGE TRIMMERS
•
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 clear-
ing jammed material. A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by the han-
dle with the cutter blade stopped.
When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting
device cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible per-
sonal injury from the cutter blades.
•
Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as the
cutting blade may come into con-
tact with concealed power cables.
Contact between the cutting blade and
a live cable may render metallic com-
ponents live and result in an electric
shock.
Keep cable away from cutting area.
•
During operation the cable may be hid-
den in shrubs and can be accidentally
cut by the blade.
•
Before the work, search the hedge
for concealed objects, e.g. cable etc.
Hold the hedge trimmer correctly,
•
e.g. with both hands on the handles,
if there are two handles. Loss of
control of the equipment may result in
injuries.
•
Wear suitable clothing and work
clothes when working with the
equipment. Do not hold the equip-
ment by the cutting blade or lift it
on the cutting blade. Contact with the
cutting blade can cause injuries.
