CAUTION:
Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any failures made
in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety regulations and instructions
in a safe place for future use.
The term “electric tool” used in the safety instructions refers to electric tools
operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery
operated electric tools (without a power cable).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO THE USER:
The Gardenline Hedge Trimmer
(GLHT6051) may have VISIBLE FLASHING in the motor-housing when in
operation or when the electronic brake is engaging. This is perfectly normal
for this product and not a cause for concern or an electric safety hazard.
Workplace safety
•
Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas
can result in accidents.
•
Do not operate the electric tool in an environment where there is a risk
of explosions and where there are inflammable liquids, gases or dust
Electric tools produce sparks which could set the dust or vapours alight.
•
Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and other persons.
If there is a distraction, you may lose control of the appliance.
Electrical safety
•
The connector plug from this electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug
should never be altered in any way. Never use adapter plugs together with
earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of
an electric shock.
•
Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens and
fridges. The risk of electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
•
Keep the tool out of the rain and away from moisture. The ingress of water into
an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
•
Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the
appliance. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
•
If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only use extension cables
which are designed specifically for this purpose. Using specially designed
outdoor extension cables, reduces the risk of electric shock.
Safety of persons
•
Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not
use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention when using the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
•
Wear personal protection equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing
personal protection (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or
ear protection, depending upon the type and use of the electric tool) reduces the
risk of injury.
•
Make sure that the appliance cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the electric
tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the
battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your finger is on the switch whilst carrying
the electric tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains when it is switched
on, this can lead to accidents.
•
Remove keys and wrenches before switching on the electric tool. A tool or key
which comes into contact with rotating parts of the appliance can lead to injuries.
•
Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep
your balance at all times. In this way, you can control the electric tool better
in unexpected circumstances.
•
Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can get trapped in moving parts.
