a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
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 power tool, 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 power tool 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) Service
a) 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
maintained.
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
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 trimmer, always fit the blade cover.
Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.
d) When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all power
switches are off and the power cord is disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the
hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal
injury.
e) Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the blade
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
