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 bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
Store idle power tools out of the
•
reach of children and do not al-
low 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, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
•
Carefully inspect the area to be cut
and remove all wires or other foreign
bodies.
Service
Have your power tool serviced
•
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
Hedge trimmer safety
warnings
Keep all parts of the body
•
away from the cutter blade.
Do not remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. Make sure
the switch is off when clearing
jammed material. A moment of
inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal
injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the
•
handle with the cutter blade
stopped. When transporting
or storing the hedge trimmer
always fit the cutting device
cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will reduce possible personal
injury from the cutter blades.
Hold the power tool only on the
•
insulated grip surfaces, as the
cutting blade can come into con-
tact with concealed power lines
or its own mains cable. Contact
