General warnings on the electric tool safety.

WARNING! Read all the safety warnings and instructions carefully.

WARNING! Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury.

WARNING! Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WARNING! The term “electric tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded)

electric tool or battery-operated (cordless) electric tool.

Work Area Safety

Keep the work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate electric tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust.

Electric tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating an electric tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control of the equipment.

Electrical Safety

Electric tool plug must match the mains outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) electric 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.

Safety instructions

Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the electric tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating an electric 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 an electric 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 an electric

tool. Do not use an electric 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 adequate 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 of the tool. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and /or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying electric tools with your finger on the switch or energising electric tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the electric tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tools may result in personal

injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the electric 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.

Electric Tool Use and Care

Do not force the electric tool. Use the correct electric tool for your application.

The correct electric tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the electric 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.

Safety instructions

Disconnect the plug from the power source and /or the battery pack from the electric tool

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing electric tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the electric tool accidentally.

Store idle electric tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the tool or these instructions to operate the electric tool.

Electric tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain electric tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may affect the electric tool efficiency. If damaged, have the

electrical tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electric 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 electric 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 electric tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

Use the electric tools, accessories and tool bits in compliance with the mentioned instructions

and with respect to the work area conditions and the type of work to be performed.

Use of the electric tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

Service

Have your electric tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the electric tool is maintained.

Electric Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings

Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold

material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing

jammed material.

A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious

personal injury.

Carry the electric hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When

transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling

of the electric hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.

Hold the electric tool by insulated gripping surfaces only because the cutter blade may

contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the electrical tool

“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
