Cordless Lawn Trimmer
■
When operating a power tool out-
doors, only use extension cables
that are also suitable for outdoor
use. Use of an extension cable that is
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
■
If operating the power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
■
Remain alert, pay attention to 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 infl uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
■
Wear personal protective equipment
and always wear safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing
protection, depending on how and
where the power tool is used, will
reduce the risk of personal injury.
■
Avoid accidental start-up. Ensure that
the power tool is switched off before
connecting it to the power supply
and / or battery, picking up or carry-
ing the power tool. Carrying power
tools with your fi nger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
■
Remove any adjusting tools or
wrenches before the power tool is
switched on. A tool or wrench left
attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in injuries.
■
Avoid adopting an abnormal posture.
Maintain a secure footing, especially
on slopes, and balance at all times.
Walk, do not run. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
■
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
may become entangled in moving
parts.
■
If dust extraction and collection
equipment can be mounted, it should
be connected and used properly.
Use of dust extraction can reduce
dust-related hazards.
■
Do not have a false sense of secu-
rity and do not ignore the safety
rules for power tools even if you
are familiar with the power tool
after using it many times. Careless
actions can result in serious injuries
in fractions of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
■
Do not overload the power tool.
Only ever use the designated power
tool for the activity that is to be per-
formed. With the appropriate power
tool, you will work better and more
safely in the specifi ed power range.
■
Do not use a power tool whose switch
is defective. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
■
Pull the mains plug out of the plug
socket and / or remove a detachable
battery before any device settings
are made, tool bits are changed or
the power tool is put to one side.
This preventive measure reduces the
risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
■
Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow
people who are unfamiliar with the
power tool or have not read these
instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of inexperienced people.
