Safety Information - EINHELL AG 7,2 Bedienungsanleitung

1. Important information
Read the directions for use carefully and observe the
information provided. It is important to consult these
instructions in order to acquaint yourself with the tool,
its proper use and safety precautions.
Important! For safety reasons the cordless grass
cutter is not to be used by children, young
people under 16 years of age, or any other
persons who are not acquainted with these
directions for use.
The replaceable storage battery supplied with
the tool is not charged. Before the tool can be
used for the first time you must charge the
battery.
The battery pack does not reach its maximum
capacitance until it has been charged and
discharged approximately five times.
NC batteries lose their charge even when they
are not being used. Regular charging is therefore
recommended. Capacity losses can be
compensated by using a timer to top-up the
charge for 30 minutes every day.
Please check the data marked on the rating plate
of the battery charger. Connect the battery
charger only to an identical mains supply to that
on the rating plate.
In heavy use the battery will become warm.
Allow it to cool to room temperature before
commencing with the charging.

2. Safety information

Caution! Danger!
The blade will run on for a few seconds after the
tool is switched off!
Examine the tool each time before you use it. Do
not use the tool if any safety devices and/or
blades are damaged or worn. Never put safety
devices out of operation.
Use the tool only for the purpose specified in
these instructions.
Do not wear loose garments, jewelry, etc. There
is a risk of these items getting caught in the
machine. Wear non-slip shoes and gloves. Wear
long trousers to protect your legs.
Make sure there are no other persons
(particularly children) or animals within your
working area.
You are responsible for safety in your work area.
Inspect the items you want to cut before starting
to work. Remove any foreign objects you find.
Watch out for foreign objects while you work. If
GB
you still hit upon an obstacle while cutting, turn
off the tool (let go of the ON button) and remove
the obstacle.
If the blades become jammed, switch off the tool
(let go of the ON button) and remove the
obstruction (thick branch, foreign object) with a
blunt item. Never use your fingers to clear an
obstruction - the pre-loaded blades can cause
serious injury.
Examine the charging cable regularly for signs of
damage and age (brittleness). Use only if it is in
perfect condition.
Work only in good visibility.
Always make sure of your footing while working.
Be careful when stepping backwards. Risk of
stumbling!
Never leave the tool unattended at your work
place. If you interrupt your work, leave the tool in
a safe place.
If you interrupt your work to move to a different
position it is imperative to switch off the tool while
you are moving there.
Never use the tool in the rain or in moist or wet
conditions.
Protect your grass cutter from the damp and rain.
Keep the battery charger and the grass cutter out
of children's reach.
Do not use the grass cutter or the battery
charger in areas where there are vapors or
combustible liquids.
Never throw old batteries in the fire. Risk of
explosion!
Used and defective batteries do not belong in the
refuse bin. Think of the environment - cadmium
is toxic. For proper disposal of used and
defective batteries, send them postage-paid to
ISC or take them to a special collecting station in
your area. Ask at your local council offices for the
nearest used battery collecting station.
Avoid contact with leaky batteries. In case of
contact, wash the affected area of skin
immediately with water and soap. If battery acid
gets in your eye, rinse out the eye with water for
at least 10 minutes and consult a doctor at once.
Protect the battery charger and cable from
damage and sharp edges. Damaged cables are
to be replaced without delay by an electrician.
