Maintenance
Always wear gardening gloves, if you handle the
tool or work in proximity to the sharp blades.
Check that all the nuts, bolts and screws are well
tightened in order to ensure that the garden tool is
safe to operate.
Regularly inspect the grass collection box to
assess its state of wear.
Inspect the garden tool and, for safety reasons,
replace worn or damaged parts.
Only use blades intended for the garden tool.
Ensure that the replacement parts are parts
manufactured by ELEM GARDEN TECHNIC.
Personal safety
▪ Remain attentive and vigilant. Pay attention to
what you are doing and always use a power tool
with caution. Do not operate a power tool when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention when using
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
▪ Wear personal safety equipment as well as safety
glasses under all circumstances. Wearing personal
safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, protection helmet or ear protection,
depending on the power tool being used, reduces
the risk of injury.
▪ Avoid any inadvertent switching on of the power
tool. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF
position before connecting the power cord to the
power outlet. A risk of accident exists if your finger is
placed on the power tool's power switch when you
are carrying the power tool or when you connect it
to the power outlet while the switch is in the ON
position.
▪ Remove all maintenance tools or spanners before
connecting the power tool to the power outlet. A tool
or a spanner left in the rotating assembly of the
power tool is likely to cause personal injury.
▪ Do not overestimate your abilities. Ensure that you
maintain a safe and stable position and keep your
balance at all times. This will allow you to better
control the power tool in unexpected situations.
▪ Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose-
fitting clothing, do not wear jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-
fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can be caught
by the moving parts.
▪ If dust extraction and collection devices are
mounted, ensure that these are correctly connected
and employed. The use of these devices reduces
the inherent risks of exposure to dust.
Indications for the optimal handling of the
battery pack
Check that the garden tool's power switch is in
the OFF position before mounting the battery pack.
Mounting a battery pack onto a garden tool with its
power switch in the ON position can cause
accidents.
Do not expose the charger to rain or humidity.
The penetration of water into the charger increases
the risk of electric shock.
Only charge the battery packs in chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. A charger
intended for a specific type of battery pack can
present a risk of fire when it is used with other
battery packs.
Do not charge any battery packs other than those
indicated below. The charger is only appropriate for
charging ELEM GARDEN TECHNIC lithium-ion
battery packs of voltages indicated in the technical
specifications. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and
explosion.
Keep the charger clean. Clogging with dirt and
dust increases the risk of electric shock.
Before each use, inspect the charger, the plug
and the cable. Do not use the charger if defects are
observed. Do not dismantle the charger by yourself
and only have it repaired by a qualified person, and
only with replacement parts from the original
manufacturer. Damaged chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not use the charger on an easily inflammable
surface (such as paper, textiles etc.) or in an
inflammable environment. Heat produced during the
charging process increases the risk of fire.
Only use the garden tool with specifically
designated ELEM GARDEN TECHNIC battery
packs. The use of any other battery pack may lead
to personal injury and fire risks.
When not in use, keep the battery pack away
from all metallic objects such as staples, coins,
keys, nails, screws and similar items, given that
contact with such items may cause a short circuit. A
short circuit between the battery pack contacts may
cause burns or fire.
In poor conditions, liquid can leak from the battery
pack; avoid all contact. In case of accidental
contact, clean with water. If the liquid enters into
contact with the eyes, also seek medical assistance.
The liquid that leaks from the battery pack can
cause irritation and burns.
Do not open the battery pack. Risk of short circuit.
Protect the battery pack from all heat sources,
such as for example exposure to direct sunlight, to
fire, to water and to humidity. There is a risk of
explosion.
Do not short circuit the battery pack. There is a
risk of explosion.
In the case of damage or inappropriate use of the
battery pack, vapours can be released.
Ventilate the working area, and if feeling unwell,
consult a doctor. The vapours can cause irritation
of the respiratory tract.
Protect the battery pack from humidity and water.
Store the battery pack within the temperature
range of 0 °C to 50 °C. Do not store the battery pack
for an extended period in a car, for example in the
summer.
Periodically clean the ventilation holes of the
battery pack with the aid of a soft, clean and dry
brush.
