10. Before operation, examine the work area for wire
fences, stones, or other solid objects. They can
damage the blades.
Personal protective equipment
11. Wear protective goggles, safety helmet and protective
gloves to protect yourself from flying debris or falling
objects.
12. Wear ear protection such as ear muffs to prevent
hearing loss.
13. Wear proper clothing and shoes for safe operation,
such as a work overall and sturdy, non-slip shoes.
14. When touching blades or adjusting the blade angle,
wear protective gloves. Blades can cut bare hands
severely.
Operation
15. Use right appliance. Do not use appliance for any job
except that for which it is intended.
16. In the event of an emergency, switch off the tool and
remove the battery cartridge immediately.
17. If cutting tool strikes any object or the tool starts
making unusual noise, switch off the tool and remove
the battery cartridge immediately and allow the tool to
stop. And then take the following steps:
-
inspect for damage
-
check for, and tighten, any loose parts
-
have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with
genuine spare parts.
18. Switch off the tool and remove the battery cartridge
before leaving the tool unattended.
19. Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal fence or
other hard objects during operation. The blade will
break and may cause serious injury.
20. Avoid dangerous environment. Do not use appliances
in damp or wet locations.
21. While operating the tool, always ensure that the
operating position is safe and secure. Overreaching
with the tool, particularly from a ladder, is extremely
dangerous. Do not work from anything wobbly or
infirm. Do not over reach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all time.
22. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the tool
when the battery cartridge is installed and with finger
on switch. Be sure switch is off when installing the
battery cartridge.
23. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting
edges when picking up or holding the tool.
24. Do not operate the tool with a damaged or excessively
worn cutting device.
25. Always ensure that all handles and guards are fitted
when using the tool. Never attempt to use an
incomplete tool or one fitted with an unauthorized
modification.
26. Always use two hands to operate the tool fitted with
two handles. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and result
in serious personal injury.
27. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
28. Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it
was designed.
29. Always be aware of your surroundings and stay alert
for possible hazards of which you may not be aware
due to the noise of the tool. Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate the tool when you
are tired.
30. Do not use the tool in the rain or in wet or very damp
conditions. The electric motor is not waterproof.
Maintenance and storage
31. When the tool is stopped for servicing, inspection or
storage, switch off the tool and remove the battery
cartridge, and make sure all moving parts have come
to a stop. Allow the tool to cool before making any
inspections, adjustment, etc.
32. Always allow the tool to cool down before storing.
33. When transporting or storing the tool, always fit the
blade cover.
34. Store idle tool indoors. When not in use, the tool must
be stored indoors in dry, and high locked-up place, out
of reach of children.
35. Maintain the tool with care. Keep cutting edge sharp
and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk
of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
36. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool,
any part which is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other condition that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
your authorized service center.
37. Use genuine spare parts only.
