by the manufacturer to charge the batter-
ies. Charging units are usually designed for
certain types of batteries; if used with other
types there is a risk of fire!
c) Only use batteries designed for your
power tool. The use of other batteries may
lead to injury and risk of fire!
d) Keep unused batteries clear of paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that may bridge the
contacts. A short circuit between the bat-
tery contacts may lead to burns or fire!
e) Improper use may result in fluid leaking
out of the battery. Avoid any contact with
battery fluid. Flush with water in case of
contact. If battery fluid should get into
your eyes seek medical advice addition-
ally. Leaking battery fluid may lead to irrita-
tions of the skin or burns!
6) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified
technical personnel only; repairs should
be carried out using exclusively original
spare parts. This will ensure the safe opera-
tion of the power tool.
Safety instructions for grass- and shrub
shear:
Keep all parts of your body away from
-
the cutting blades. Do not try to remove
cut-off matter with the tool running. Do
not try to hold material to be cut off with
your hand. Remove cut-off matter that is
stuck between the blades only with the
tool being switched off! When working
with hedge trimmers even a short moment of
inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle
-
with the cutting blades standing still.
Always put on the protection cover when
transporting or storing the hedge trim-
mer. Careful handling reduces the risk of
injury through the cutting blades.
-
Only hold the power tool on the insulated
handle surfaces, because the cutting
blade can come into contact with con-
cealed power lines. If the cutting blade
comes into contact with an energised line,
device parts can become energised and
cause an electric shock.
