Work Area; Electrical Safety - Meec tools 025258 Bedienungsanleitung

Work area

• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas increase the risk
of accidents.
• Regularly inspect the area where the
product will be used and remove stones,
wires, bones, sawed-off branches, logs,
and other foreign objects that may
become caught in and thrown by the
product. Ejected objects can cause serious
personal injury and/or material damage.
• Do not use power tools in explosive
environments, for example in the vicinity
of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power
tools produce sparks that can ignite dust
and fumes.
• Keep onlookers, especially children, and
pets at least 10 metres from the work area
when using the power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
• Only use the product in daylight, or in
good artificial lighting.

Electrical safety

• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Hold the product by the insulated grips
when working in areas where it could
come into contact with concealed cables.
If a cutting accessory comes into contact
with a live wire the metal parts on the
product will also become live – risk of
electric shock.
Battery
• Check that the power switch is in the OFF
position before putting in the battery.
The power switch and lock must not be in
the locked position.

recommended by the manufacturer. The
use of other batteries can result in a risk
of personal injury and/or fire.
• When the battery is not in use keep it
away from paperclips, coins, keys, nails,
screws and other metal objects that can
short circuit the terminals. Short circuiting
discharges large amounts of energy that
can cause a fire and/or serious personal
injury.
• Failure to handle the battery carefully can
cause fluid to leak from the battery. Avoid
contact with battery fluid. If you get
battery fluid on your skin, rinse
immediately in plenty of fresh water. If
you get battery fluid in your eyes, rinse
them immediately with clean water for at
least 10 minutes and then seek medical
attention. Battery fluid can cause skin
irritation and/or burns.

incorrectly or if damaged. Such fumes can
irritate the respiratory system. Breathe in
fresh air. Seek medical attention if the
complaint persists.

periods of use. Allow it to cool before
charging.
