SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all the instructions can result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. Save these instructions and safety instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” refers to your mains-powered (corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tool.

Workplace

Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and poorly lit work areas can lead to accidents.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using the power tool. You can easily lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

Personal safety

Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is an increased risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when working with a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
Use personal safety equipment. Always wear safety glasses. If you use personal safety equipment such as safety gloves, dust filter mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protection
(depending on how the power tool is used), this will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power tool is switched off before connecting it to the power supply and/or battery, or before lifting it up or carrying it. If you keep your finger on the power switch when carrying the power tool, or plug it into a power point when it is switched on, this can result in an accident.
Always check that Allan keys/spanners etc. have been removed from the power tool before switching it on. A tool or key left in a rotating machine part can result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. It will then be easier to control the power tool in unexpected situations.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Always check the power tool before use, and if it has been knocked. Repair the power tool if it shows signs of wear or damage. Do not use the tool if the brush is damaged or not properly secured.
Always check that the tool is in good condition. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
Always use the guards when working with the power tool.
Never use the power tool if the safety devices are damaged or missing.
Keep the work area free from loose stones, metal, pieces of wood and other hard objects.
Make sure the brush is not touching stones or debris before starting the power tool.
Keep your hands and feet away from the rotating parts, especially when starting the motor.
Never use spare parts or accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Always make sure that the ventilation openings are free from debris. Avoid accidental starting by never carrying the power tool with your finger on the power switch.
Always work with a safe and stable posture.

Use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned job. With the correct power tool you will work better and more safely within the specified performance range.
Do not use the tool if it cannot be started and stopped with the power switch.
A power tool that cannot be switched on or off with the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Unplug the power cord and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. This precaution prevents accidently starting the power tool.
Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp blades jam less often and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Pay attention to the actual working conditions and the job to be done. Using power tools for purposes they are not intended to be used for can result in dangerous situations.
Familiarize yourself with how the tool should be used.
This tool must not be used by children or other persons who are not familiar with it.
Keep children and pets away from the work area and stop working immediately if children or pets suddenly enter the work area. Make sure that children and animals do not come within five meters of the power tool.
If a new stretch is to be worked always hold the power tool in the normal working position before starting it.
Keep your arms and legs at a safe distance from the power tool, especially when starting the motor.

Battery and charger

Charge the batteries only with the charger recommended by the manufacturer.
A charger intended for a specific type of battery could be a fire hazard if used with other types of batteries.

Keep the charger away from water, rain and other liquids. This will help to prevent the risk of electric shock.
Keep the charger clean. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Always check the charger, power cord and plug before use. Never use defective power tools. Avoid opening or repairing the charger. This work must be carried out by a qualified person who uses original parts. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Never use the charger near flammable materials (paper, textiles, etc.). This reduces the risk of fire.
Never open the power tool. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Protect the battery from heat, direct sunlight and naked flames. This will reduce the risk of an explosion.
Incorrect use of the battery and charger can result in the emission of vapour. This vapour can be harmful to health.
