EGO STA1500 Manual Del Operador página 7

◾
Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the trimmer when you are tired.
◾
Do not operate the trimmer while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
◾
Keep guards in place and in working order.
◾
Store Trimmer Indoors – When not in use the trimmer
should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-
up place with the battery pack removed – out of reach
of children.
◾
Maintain Trimmer With Care – Keep the cutting
attachment clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
◾
Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the
trimmer, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this manual.
◾
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line
that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Make sure that other persons and pets are
at least 15m away.
◾
Before using the machine and after any impact, check
for signs of wear or damage and repair as necessary.
◾
Always hold the trimmer firmly, with both hands on the
handles while operating. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
◾
Avoid Accidentally Starting – Don't carry the trimmer
with your finger on the trigger.
◾
Do not operate the trimmer in petrolic or explosive
atmospheres. Motors in these appliances normally
spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
◾
Damage to Trimmer – If you strike a foreign object
with the trimmer or it becomes entangled, stop the
tool immediately, remove the battery pack from the
line trimmer, check for damage and have any damage
repaired before further operation is attempted. Do not
operate with a broken guard or spool.
◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the motor, remove the battery pack from the
line trimmer, and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. A loose
head may vibrate, crack, break or come off the
trimmer, which may result in serious or fatal injury.
Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly fixed
in position. If the head loosens after fixing it in position,
replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer with a
loose cutting attachment.
◾
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out cutting head
immediately, even if damage is limited to superficial
cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high speed
and cause serious or fatal injury.
◾
Check the cutting attachment at regular short intervals
during operation, or immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior.
◾
Only use EGO authorized polymer trimmer line
accessories and trimmer line that are designed for
use with this machine. Although certain unauthorized
attachments might be fitted to the EGO line trimmer,
their use may be extremely dangerous, and/or
damaging to the tools.
◾
To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire
or metal-reinforced line or other material in place of
the nylon cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break off
and be thrown at high speed toward the operator or
bystanders.
◾
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never
work on a ladder or on any other insecure support.
Never hold the cutting attachment above waist height.
◾
If situations occur that are not covered in this manual,
use care and good judgment. Contact the EGO Service
Center for assistance.
◾
Do not charge the battery pack in rain, or in wet
locations.
◾
Use only with EGO's battery packs and chargers.
