• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If a grass box can be attached, ensure that it
is installed and used properly.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool-
before making any adjust -ments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentaIly.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
Careful handling and use of battery devices
• Charge the batteries only in chargers that are
recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire
if a charger that is suitable for a specific type of
battery is used with other batteries
• In the power tools, use only the batteries de-
signed for the purpose. The use of other batteries
may result in injuries and risk of fire
• Keep the unused battery away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal
objects, which could cause bridging of the con-
tacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts
may cause burns or fire
• If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the bat-
tery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of acci-
dental contact, rinse off with water. If the liquid
gets into eyes, seek medical assistance. Leaking
battery fluid may cause skin irritations or burns

Service
