12" CORDLESS BRUSHLESS 20V MAX* LAWN TRIMMER
Do not expose power tools, battery chargers or batteries to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the tool, chargers or batteries will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the power cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the charger. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating the charger outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Never operate a power tool in the rain.
If operating a charger in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. An RCD is also known as a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB). Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
General Electric Gardening Tool Safety Warnings – Personal Safety
Stay alert, be aware of your surroundings, watch what you are doing and use
your best judgment when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of
inattention while operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes or boots, sturdy gloves,
durable long pants, long sleeve shirt and hearing protection will reduce the risk
of personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switches are in the o -position
before connecting the battery to the power tool or plugging it into the power
supply. Never pick up or carry the power tool with your finger on the trigger
switch. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invite accidents.
Remove any adjustment key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
