FOR ALL APPLIANCES

use appliances in damp or wet locations.
• Don’t use in rain.
• Keep children away — all people and
pets should be kept at a distance from
the work area.

clothing or jewellery. They can be
caught in moving parts. Wear protective
clothing; use of work gloves, long
pants, a long-sleeved shirt and safety
footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering

• Use safety glasses — always use face
or dust mask if the area in which you are
working is dusty.
• Use the right appliance — do not use
appliance for any job except that for
which it is intended.

job better and with less likelihood of a
risk of injury at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not overreach — keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
• Stay alert. Use common sense. Do not
operate appliance when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
• When not in use, appliances should be
stored indoors in dry places out of reach
of children.
• Maintain appliance with care. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.
• Check damaged parts. Before using the
appliance, make sure the safety guards
are intact. Never use a tool without its
safety guard. Check the alignment of the
moving parts, the binding of the moving
parts. Check for broken or defective
parts that can affect the safe operation
of your tool. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired

GARDENING APPLIANCES:
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to battery pack, picking up
or carrying the appliance. Carrying the
appliance with your finger on the switch
or energizing appliance that has the
switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from
the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
3. 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.
4. Use appliances only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
5. 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 connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
