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 (265 °F) 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.
