Additional Safety Warnings - Ryobi Rlt4125 Bedienungsanleitung

LINE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
■ 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.
■ Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the
machine during operation.
■ Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones,
and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
■ Before using the machine, always visually inspect to
see that the cutter and the cutter assembly are not
damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
■ Before use, check the supply cord and any extension
cord for signs of damage or aging. Do not use the
machine if the cord is damaged or worn. If the cord is
damaged or worn during use, switch off the machine
and do not touch the cord before disconnecting it
from the supply. A damaged supply cord or extension
cord may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
■ Check the grass collector frequently for wear or
deterioration. A worn or damaged grass collector may
increase the risk of personal injury.
■ Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order
and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged,
or is not functioning correctly may result in personal injury.
■ Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. Blocked air
inlets and debris may result in overheating or risk of fire.
■ Wear eye protection and ear protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury.
■ 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 chance
of injury to the feet from contact with the moving cutter.
■ Always wear clothing such as trousers that covers
the operator's legs while operating the machine.
Contact with the moving cutter or line may cause injury.
■ Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
■ Do not operate the machine above waist height. This
helps prevent unintended cutter contact and enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
■ Exercise caution when operating the machine in
wet grass. Walk, never run. This reduces the risk of
slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
■ Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
■ When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes, never up
or down and exercise extreme caution when changing
direction. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
■ 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 or damaged by the line or cutter.
■ Keep all parts of the body away from the moving trimmer
cutter or line. Do not clear material from the machine until it
has been disconnected from the power source. The moving
trimmer cutter or line may result in serious personal injury.
■ Carry the machine with the machine switched off
and away from your body. Proper handling of the
machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with a moving trimmer cutter or line.
