Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings; Additional Safety Rules - Ryobi RY40603 Manual Del Operador

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
 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 dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
 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 situation.

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

 Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off
when clearing jammed material. Blades coast after
turn off. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
 Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
 DANGER — Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
 WARNING — Only use with handle and guard properly
assembled to hedge trimmer. The use of the hedge trim-
mer without the proper guard or handle provided may
result in serious personal injury.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
 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.
 Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
 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.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

 Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
 Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
 Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, boots, and
gloves. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants,
sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind.
 Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and result in
serious personal injury.
 Before starting the hedge trimmer, make sure the blade
is not in contact with any object.
 Stop the unit, remove the battery pack, and make sure
the blade has stopped before setting the unit down.
