Hedge Trimmer Model HT275
Important Safety Instructions
•
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 or 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 or
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Use
of a RCD (GFCI) reduces the risk of electric
shock
•
Remove plug from the mains immediately
if the cable is damaged or cut.
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 (Fig. 2).
This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewelry 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
•
Prolonged use of power tools has been
reported to cause vascular, muscular, or
neurological disorders (such as vibration
white finger or Raynaud’s syndrome).
To reduce the risk of injury, follow these
instructions:
– Wear gloves and keep hands and body
warm
– Maintain a firm grip on the hedge
trimmer, but do not use prolonged,
excessive pressure
– Take frequent breaks
The vibration in normal use can differ from the
stated values depending on the material being
cut, maintenance of the cutting system, and
other factors
