surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
c ) 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.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Grass Trimmer, Brush Cutter and Brush Saw
Safety Warnings
a ) Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases
the risk of being struck by lightning.
b ) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where
the machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the
machine during operation.
c ) Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is
to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones,
and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
d ) Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see
that the cutter or blade and the cutter or blade assembly
are not damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
e ) Follow instructions for changing accessories.
Improperly tightened blade securing nuts or bolts may either
damage the blade or result in it becoming detached.
f ) The rated rotational speed of the blade must be at
least equal to the maximum rotational speed marked on
the machine. Blades running faster than their rated rotational
speed can break and fly apart.
g ) Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
h ) While operating the machine, always wear non-slip and
protective footwear. Do not operate the machine when
barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of
injury to the feet from contact with the moving cutters or lines.
i ) While operating the machine, always wear safety
footwear. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or
wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to
the feet from contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
j ) While operating the machine, always wear long trousers.
Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
k ) Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
l ) Always use two hands when operating the machine.
Holding the machine with both hands will avoid loss of control.
m ) Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutting line or blade may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the machine "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
n ) Always keep proper footing and operate the machine
only when standing on the ground. Slippery or unstable
surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the machine.
o ) Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
p ) When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes, never up
or down and exercise extreme caution when changing
direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in personal injury.
q ) Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line
or blade when the machine is operating. Before you
start the machine, make sure the cutter, line or blade is
not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating the machine may result in injury to yourself or others.
r ) Do not operate the machine above waist height. This
helps prevent unintended cutter or blade contact and enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
s ) When cutting brush or saplings that are under
tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the brush or sapling may strike the
operator and/or throw the machine out of control.
t ) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the blade and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
u ) Maintain control of the machine and do not touch
cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous moving
parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the risk of
injury from moving parts.
v ) Carry the machine with the machine switched off and away
from your body. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
w ) When transporting or storing the machine, always fit
the cover on metal blades. Proper handling of the machine
will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the blade.
x ) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads
and blades specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage and injury.
y ) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
machine, make sure the switch is off and the battery
