operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Make sure that the machine is switched
off before inserting the battery. Inserting a
battery in an electric device which is switched
on can cause accidents.
b) 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.
c) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
d) 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.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
f) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
g) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause
explosion. NOTE The temperature „130 °C"
can be replaced by the temperature „265 °F".
h) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
6) Service
a) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only
be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
2.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY GUIDELINES
FOR ELECTRIC GARDEN BLOWER
In the safety warnings below, the term "machine"
may be replaced by alternate wording (e.g.
"garden blower", "garden vacuum", "garden
blower/vacuum", "leaf blower" or "leaf collector").
a) Do not use the machine in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
b) Wear eye protection and ear protection.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce the
risk of personal injury.
NOTE 302 The ear protection portion of the
warning in item c) above can be optionally omitted
if the measured emission sound pressure level
at the operator's ear in accordance with Annex I
does not exceed 85 dB(A).
c) While operating the machine, always
wear non-slip and protective footwear. Do
not operate the machine when barefoot or
wearing open sandals. This reduces the risk of
injury to the feet.
d) Do not wear loose fitting clothing or
articles such as scarves, strings, chains, ties,
etc., that could get drawn into the air inlets.
Tie back or cover long hair to make sure it
does not get drawn into the air inlets. If any
of these items are drawn into the air inlets, it can
increase the risk of personal injury.
e) Do not use the machine to blow anything
that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes. These ignition sources
may increase the risk of fire.
f) Do not touch the fan while still in motion.
Turn off the machine and wait until the fan
stops before removing any part that may give
access to the fan. This reduces the risk of injury
from moving parts.
g) When
clearing
servicing the machine, make sure the power
switch is off. Unexpected starting of the machine
while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
If something breaks or an accident
occurs during work, turn off the motor
immediately and move the machine away to
prevent further damage; if an accident occurs
with injuries or third parties are injured, carry
out the first aid measures most suitable for
the situation immediately and contact the
medical authorities for any necessary health
