Important Safety Instructions - Ego Rta2300 Bedienungsanleitung

◾
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
EN
machines allow you to become complacent and
ignore machine safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
MACHINE USE AND CARE
◾
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine
for your application. The correct machine will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
◾
Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
◾
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the machine before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing machines. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the machine accidentally.
◾
Store idle machines out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
machine or these instructions to operate the
machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
◾
Maintain machines and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the machine's operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained machines.
◾
Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
◾
Use the machine, accessories and machine bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the machine 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 machine in unexpected situations.
BATTERY MACHINE 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 machines 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 machine that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
◾
Do not expose a battery pack or machine 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 machine 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

◾
Avoid Dangerous Environments – Don't use
appliances on damp or wet slope.
◾
Keep guards in place and in working order.
◾
Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.
◾
To reduce the risk of injury, never work on a ladder
or on any other insecure support. Never hold the
cutting unit above waist height.
◾
Check the cutting unit at regular short intervals
during operation, or immediately if there is a
noticeable change in cutting behavior.
◾
For best results, your battery should be charged in
a location where the temperature is greater than
5°C and less than 40°C. Do not store it outside or in
vehicles.
◾
If you are approached, stop the motor and cutting unit.
◾
Warn the operator of the danger of blade thrust.
◾
Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade
contacts an object that it does not immediately cut.
◾
Blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the unit
and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and
possibly lose control of the unit.
◾
Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade
snags, stalls or binds.
