Additional Battery Safety Warnings - Ryobi RY18GSA Bedienungsanleitung

■ 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.
■ 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.
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
battery 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,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
■ 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.
■ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may cause explosion.
■ 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.
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.
■ Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.
GRASS SHEARS/SHRUBBER SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Do not use the grass shear or hedge trimmer in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is a risk
of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
■ Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
■ Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment
will reduce the risk of hearing loss.

Original Instructions
■ Hold the grass shear or hedge trimmer by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the blade may
contact hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the grass shear or
hedge trimmer "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
■ Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do
not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Blades continue to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention
while operating the grass shear or hedge trimmer may
result in serious personal injury.
■ When clearing jammed material or servicing the
grass shear or hedge trimmer, make sure the power
switch is off and the battery pack is removed or
disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the grass
shear or hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material
or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
■ Carry the grass shear or hedge trimmer by the
handle with the blade stopped and taking care not
to operate the power switch. Proper carrying of the
grass shear or hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from
the blades.
■ When transporting or storing the grass shear or
hedge trimmer, always use the blade cover. Proper
handling of the grass shear or hedge trimmer will
decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
the cutting capacity indicated in the specifications table,
or are obviously too large to feed into the cutting blade.
Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim
large stems.
■ Check the hedges and bushes for foreign objects, such
as wire fences and hidden wiring.
■ While operating the product, hold it firmly by the
designated handle only.
■ Use the product only at ground level and not on any
other unstable support.
■ Inspect the product before each use. Check for loose
fasteners, etc. Make sure that all guards and handles are
properly and securely attached. Replace any damaged
parts before use. Check for battery pack leaks.
■ Before operating the grass shear or hedge trimmer,
make sure that the extension shaft, if any, is in the
locked position.
■ If the grass shear or hedge trimmer is installed with
an adjustable handle, make sure that the grass shear
or hedge trimmer is turned off and the blades are not
moving before adjusting the handle.
■ Operate the product only in temperatures between 0°C
and 40°C.
■ Store the product in a location where the ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

■ To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the tool,
battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow
inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as
