Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings - Homelite UT44175 Manual Del Operador

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely 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 conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL 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 power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.

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. Blades coast after turn
off. 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. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will
reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
 DANGER — Keep hands away from blade. Contact with
blade will result in serious personal injury.
 WARNING — Only use with handle and guard properly
assembled to hedge trimmer. The use of the hedge trimmer
without the proper guard or handle provided may result
in serious personal injury.
 Use non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves when operating
the shrubber and when installing or removing blades.
 Replace any blade or other parts that are cracked or
damaged. Always make sure blade is installed correctly
and securely fastened before each use. Failure to do so can
cause serious personal injury to the operator, bystanders,
or damage to the unit.
 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.
SERVICE
 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.
 Never cut any material over 5/16 in. diameter.
 Maintain a firm grip on handle while cutting with a blade.
Keep the blade away from body.
 Know how to stop the unit quickly in an emergency.
 Disable motor by moving latch on bottom cover to the un-
lock position before making any adjustments or changing
accessories. Remove blades and store them in a separate
location out of the reach of children before storing the
shrubber. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the product accidentally.
 Service on the product must be performed by qualified
repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user
or damage to the product.
 Always stop the motor by removing finger from switch
trigger, ensure the blades have stopped moving, and
disable motor when not in use by moving latch on bottom
cover to the unlock position; perform these steps before
attempting to clean any obstruction caught or jammed in
the blade, or before removing, installing, or making any
blade adjustments.
 Never use shrubber if the switch will not turn the unit on
or off. A unit that cannot be controlled by the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired before use.
 Shrubber is for cutting hedges and shrubbery only. Do not
use for any other purpose.
