Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings - Ryobi P2609 Manuel D'utilisation

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
 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 those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
 Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
 Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
 Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
 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 fire.

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

 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. Blades continue to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personal injury.
 Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate any
power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will
decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant
personal injury from the blades.
 When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, al-
ways fit the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the
blades.
 When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit,
make sure all power switches are off and the battery
pack is removed or disconnected. Unexpected actua-
tion of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material
or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
 Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
 Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or exces-
sive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
265°F may cause explosion.
 Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instruc tions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
 Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
 Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges
or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
 Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
 DANGER — Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
 WARNING — Only use with handle and guard properly
assembled to hedge trimmer. The use of the hedge trim-
mer without the proper guard or handle provided may
result in serious personal injury.
