General Power Tool Safety Warnings – 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.
•
Never service damaged battery pack.
Service of battery
packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
Device-specific safety warnings for garden pruners
•
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not
try to remove cut material or to hold material to be cut
when the blade is running.
The blade continues to run
after turning off the switch. A moment of inattention when
using the garden pruner can lead to severe injury.
•
Carry the garden pruner by holding them by the handle
when the blade is at a standstill. Take care not to
actuate the switch.
Carrying the garden pruner in a
correct manner reduces the risk of unintended operation
and injuries resulting from the blade.
•
Always put the cover on the blade when transporting
or storing the garden pruner.
Proper handling of the
garden pruner reduces the risk of injury caused by the
blade.
•
Please make sure all switches are turned off and the
battery has been removed or switched off before
removing jammed cut material or before performing
maintenance works on the machine.
Unexpected
operation of the garden pruner when removing jammed
material can cause severe injury.
•
Hold the garden pruner by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, as the blade may contact hidden wiring.
Blade accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electric shock.
•
Keep any power cables away from the cutting area.
Cables can be hidden in hedges and bushes where they
may be accidentally cut by the blade.
•
Do not use the garden pruner in bad weather,
especially if there is a risk of thunderstorms.
This
reduces the risk of being struck by lightning.
