Personal Safety - Bosch EasyGrassCut 23 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Do not expose the machine to rain or wet conditions.
u
Penetration of water in the machine increases the risk of
an electric shock.
Never use the cord for carrying, hanging up or unplug-
u
ging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension
u
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
When operating the machine in damp environments is
u
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD). The
use of a residual current device (RCD) reduces the risk of
electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
u
sense when operating the machine. Do not use a ma-
chine while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the machine may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Wear safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
u
Wearing safety equipment such as dusk mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
u
the off‑position before connecting to power source
and/or battery, picking up or carrying the machine.
Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or plug-
ging in machines that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
Remove any adjusting key or spanner before turning
u
the machine on. A spanner or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
Avoid abnormal body posture. Provide for a secure
u
stance and keep your balance at all times; never run.
This enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
u
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Always wear sturdy footwear and long
trousers when operating the machine.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
u
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Do not assume a false sense of security and disregard
u
the safety regulations for machines, even if familiar
with the machine through multiple use. A careless ac-
tion can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Bosch Power Tools
Use and Handling of the Machine
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for
u
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
u
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 re-
u
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the ma-
chine before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the machine acci-
dentally.
Store idle machines out of the reach of children. Do
u
not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or
these instructions to operate the machine. Trimmers
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain trimmers with care. Check for misalignment
u
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the operation of the
machine. Have damaged parts repaired before using
the machine. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained machines.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the machine, accessories, application tools, etc.
u
according to these instructions. Take the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed into account.
Use of machines for operations different from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
u
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
machine in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair per-
u
son using only identical replacement parts. This en-
sures that the safety of your machine is maintained.
Operation
The operator must use the product in accordance with the
u
regulations. The local conditions must be taken into ac-
count. When working, pay attention to other people, es-
pecially to children.
Never allow children, persons with physical, sensory or
u
mental limitations or a lack of experience and/or know-
ledge and/or people unfamiliar with these instructions to
use the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
u
play with the product.
