g)
Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions
and in the way prescribed for the respective type of tool. You should also consider the
working conditions and the work to be carried out. The use of power tools for purposes
other than those intended for the respective tool may result in dangerous situations.
5) Appropriate handling and use of battery operated power tools:
a)
Make sure that the device has been switched off before inserting the battery. Inserting a
battery into a switched-on power tool may lead to accidents!
b)
Only use charging devices recommended by the manufacturer to charge the batteries.
Charging units are usually designed for certain types of batteries; if used with other
types there is a risk of fire!
c)
Only use batteries designed for your power tool. The use of other batteries may lead to
injury and risk of fire!
d)
Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects that may bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may
lead to burns or fire!
e)
Improper use may result in fluid leading out of the battery. Avoid any contact with
battery fluid. Flush with water in case of contact. If battery fluid should get into your
eyes seek immediate medical advice. Leaking battery fluid may lead to irritations of the
skin or burns!
6) Service:
a)
Have the power tool serviced by qualified technical personnel only; repairs should be
carried out using exclusively original spare parts. This will ensure the safe operation of
the power tool.
7) Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
-
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting blades. Do not try to remove cut-off
matter with the tool running. Do not try to hold material to be cut off with your hand.
Remove cut-off matter that is stuck between the blades only when the tool is switched
off! When working with hedge trimmers even a short moment of inattentiveness may
result in severe injury.
-
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutting blades stationary. Always put on
the protection cover when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Careful handling
reduces the risk of injury by the cutting blades.
-
Only hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated handle surfaces when performing work
where the tool could come into contact with concealed power lines. If in contact with an
energised line, metallic device parts can cause an electric shock.
