●
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases ordust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
●
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
●
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.
●
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.
●
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
●
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 and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
●
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.
●
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
●
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
●
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
●
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
●
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
●
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
●
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.
●
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.
Power tool use and care
●
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.
●
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.
●
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.
●
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.
●
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 operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
●
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
●
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.
Service
●
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 Warnings for Cordless Secateurs
●
This tool is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the tool by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the tool.
●
Minors should never be allowed to operate the tool; it
should never be left unattended and when not in use should
be stored in a locked place out of the reach of children.
●
Don’t use the tool or perform battery charging operations
in the rain.
●
Don’t leave the tool in rain or wet locations.
●
Keep bystanders well away from your work area.
●
Be careful not to catch foreign matter between the
blades. Remove the foreign matter from the blades.
●
Take care, avoid cutting electrical wires that may be
hidden.
●
keep your free hand away from the cutting area. Never
touch the blades. They are very sharp and you may cut
yourself.
●
Be vigilant when operating to ensure that the fingers on
the hand used to hold or move twigs to be pruned are not
exposed to the cutting blade.
●
Do not force the tool to make it cut. You could slip and
injure yourself or cut something else unintentionally.
●
Always check the blades carefully before operation.
●
Handle the blades with extreme care to prevent cuts or
injury from the blades.
●
Operate the safety lock after each use and before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
●
Always wear protective gloves when using, adjusting or
cleaning the tool.
●
Only use the tool for its intended use.
●
Protect the power tool against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. There
is a risk of explosion.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
