intended could result in a hazardous situa‐
tion.
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.
26.6 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 power tools only with specifically desig‐
nated 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 connec‐
tion 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 dam‐
aged or modified. Damaged or modified bat‐
teries 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 may cause explo‐
sion.
g
)
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc‐
tions. Charging improperly or at tempera‐
tures outside the specified range may dam‐
age the battery and increase the risk of fire.
26.7 Service
a
)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace‐
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b
)
Never service damaged battery packs. Serv‐
ice of battery packs should only be per‐
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
26.8 Hedge trimmer safety warnings
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 trim‐
mer, always fit the blade cover. Proper han‐
dling 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. Unex‐
pected 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 con‐
tact 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.
f
)
Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be
hidden in hedges or bushes and can be acci‐
dentally cut by the blade.
g
)
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is
a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of
being struck by lightning.
