safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
outdoor power equipment accidentally.
d) Store idle outdoor power equipments out of
the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the outdoor power equipment
or these instructions to operate the outdoor
power equipment. Outdoor power equipments
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain outdoor power equipment and
accessories. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
outdoor power equipment's operation. If
damaged, have the outdoor power equipment
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained outdoor power equipments.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the outdoor power equipment,
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 outdoor power equipment
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 outdoor power equipments 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 outdoor power equipment serviced
by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the outdoor power equipment is
maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
