Personal Safety; General Safety Warnings For Power Tools - TOOLCRAFT 2498121 Mode D'emploi Original

b) Personal safety
• Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of carelessness can cause serious injuries.
• Always use the tool carefully. Avoid the familiarisation effect if you have already worked with the tool a
lot. Always observe the safety instructions and always stay alert. A moment of carelessness can result
in serious accidents.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety goggles, sturdy shoes, long trousers, ear
protection and protective gloves. Never work barefoot or wearing sandals.
• Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear jewellery. Hair, jewellery or clothing can be caught in moving
parts – risk of injury! Use a hair net or similar if you have long hair and wear close-fitting clothes when
using the product.
• Prevent unintentional switching on of the tool. Always make sure that the on/off switch is switched off
when you store, pick up or carry the device and before you insert or remove the battery from the device.
Do not carry the tool with your finger on the on/off switch.
• Make sure you are stood firmly on the ground while working and avoid an abnormal posture. This makes
it much easier to control the tool in unforeseen circumstances.
• Always observe all relevant national regulations (e.g. occupational safety measures).
c) General safety warnings for power tools
• Do not overload power tools. Only use power tools for their intended purpose. A suitable tool does the
job better and, more importantly, more safely.
• Check the on/off switch before each use. Using the tool with a damaged on/off switch hinders control of
the tool and is therefore very dangerous.
• Always remove the rechargeable battery when you
- are adjusting the trimmer
- storing the appliance
- removing a blockage
- feel unusual vibrations
- or after contact with a foreign body (in this case, check the appliance for damage and, if necessary,
have it repaired by a specialist)
• Keep power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are unfamiliar with the appliance
and/or have not read and understood these original operating instructions to use it. Power tools are very
dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.
