lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the
•
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjust -ments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool acciden-
taIly.
•
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for
•
misalignment or binding 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 maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories
•
and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
•
Carefully inspect the area to be cut
and remove all wires or other for-
eign bodies.
•
Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as the
cutting blade may come into con-
tact with concealed power cables.
Contact between the cutting blade and
a live cable may render metallic com-
ponents live and result in an electric
shock.
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.
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. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle
with the cutter blade stopped. When
transporting or storing the hedge trim-
mer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer
will reduce possible personal injury
from the cutter blades.
