are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking 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.
h) 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 tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool 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.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Blades continue to move after the switch
is turned off. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the blade stopped and taking care not to
operate any power switch. Proper carrying
of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of
inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury
from the blades.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer, always fit the blade cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the
risk of personal injury from the blades.
d) When clearing jammed material or servicing
the unit, make sure all power switches
are off and the battery back is removed or
disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the
hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the hedge
trimmer "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
f) 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 by the blade.
g) Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
h) Check the hedges and bushes for foreign
objects, e.g. wire fences and hidden wiring.
i) Hold the hedge trimmer properly, e.g. with
both hands if two handles are provided.
j) The hedge trimmer is intended to be used
by the operator at ground level and not on
ladders or any other unstable support.
k) Before operating the hedge trimmer, the user
should make sure the locking device(s) of any
moving elements (e.g. the extended shaft and
pivoting element), if any, are in the locked
position.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. 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
