situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4. Outdoor power equipment use and care
a) Do not force the outdoor power equipment.
Use the correct outdoor power equipment for
your application. The correct outdoor power
equipment will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the outdoor power equipment
if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any outdoor power equipment that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the outdoor
power equipment before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
outdoor power equipments. Such preventive
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 equipments. 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.
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
