from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facillities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a frac‐
tion of a second.
23.5 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dan‐
gerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha‐
ble, from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or stor‐
ing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dan‐
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condi‐
tion that may affect the power tool's opera‐
tion. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
g) 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 situa‐
tion.

23 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
h) 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.
23.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace‐
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
23.7 Grass Trimmer/Lawn Edge
Trimmer Safety Warnings
a) Do not use your machine in bad weather,
especially during thunderstorms. This will
reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.
b) Thoroughly check the work area for wild ani‐
mals. Wild animals may be injured by the
machine when it is running.
c) Thoroughly search the work area and
remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and
other foreign objects. Ejected parts may
cause injuries.
d) Always check that the cutting tool and the
cutting unit are not damaged before use.
Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
e) Check the power cable and any extension
cables for signs of damage or aging before
use. If the power cable is damaged or worn
during use, turn off the machine and do not
touch the cable before you have disconnec‐
ted the mains plug. A damaged power or
extension cable may result in an electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Always keep the protective covers in their
f)
proper place. Protective covers must always
be ready for use and properly fastened. A
protective cover that is loose, damaged or
not functioning properly may result in injury.
g) Keep air inlet openings free from debris.
Blocked air inlets and debris may cause
overheating or pose a fire hazard.
h) Wear eye protection and ear muffs. Wearing
suitable personal protective equipment will
reduce the risk of injury.
Always wear non-slip, protective shoes when
i)
operating the machine. Never work barefoot
or with open sandals. This will reduce the
risk of a foot injury due to contact with the
rotating cutting element.
