5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.
Electrical safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s oper-
ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. 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 per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam- aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explo-
sion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. 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.
Service
1. 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 main-
tained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.
3. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Sprayer safety warnings
Safety Warnings for Spraying Operation:
1. Do not use the sprayer for any other purpose than spraying agricultural and horticultural chemicals for pest and weed control.
2. Do not use the sprayer for spraying flammable materials.
3. Be aware of any hazards presented by the material being sprayed. Consult the markings on the container or the information supplied by the manufacturer
of the material to be sprayed.
4. Do not spray any material where the hazard is not known.
5. Concerning the use of chemical sprays, be sure to thoroughly read the chemical instructions, in order to become fully acquainted with toxicities and usage
methods.
6. If chemical comes into contact with skin, immediately wash thoroughly with soap.
7. Firmly close chemical tank lid to prevent leaking.
8. Never transfer chemical to another container.
9. Always thoroughly wash empty chemical containers when mixing spray liquid and then follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions to correctly dispose of
containers at all times.
10. Before using the sprayer, be sure to check there are no abnormalities, such as displacement of packing from connector, looseness of screws, missing com-
ponents, and/or cracked/worn/damaged hose. Using an incomplete sprayer may cause an accident and/or injury.
11. People not involved in spraying should refrain from approaching the work-site during spraying.
12. When transporting a chemical-loaded sprayer by vehicle, there is a risk of leaking, so always firmly tighten the chemical tank lid, and secure the sprayer in
