SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the operating instructions carefully before use. Save them for future reference.

• Failure to follow all the instructions and safety 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 11power tool11 in all the warnings below refers to your mains-powered (corded) or battery-powered (cord less) power tool.

Work area

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
• 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 power tools. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

Electrical safety

• The plug on the power tool must match the power point. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• 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 a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or to pull out the plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• If using the tool outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
• If it is absolutely necessary to use the power tool in damp conditions, use a residual current device RDC. Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• 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 using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before inserting the power cord and/or battery or lifting/carrying the tool.
• Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners before switching on the power tool. Spanners or the like that are left in a rotating part of the tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This ensures better control over 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. Loose ­fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.

Use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are 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. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently starting the 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 people.
• 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. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those they are intended to be used for.

Service

• The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.

Special safety instructions

• Keep your hands and the rest of your body away from the blades. Never attempt to clean the blades when the appliance is running. Do not try to hold material to be trimmed with your hands or your body.

Transport and store the appliance with supplied guard fitted. Failure to follow all the instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric shock and/or serious personal injury.

• Keep the power cord away from the work area. The power cord can fasten in the branches and be damaged by the blades.

• Hold the appliance by the insulated grips when working where it could come into contact with concealed cables or its own power cord. Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the appliance to also become live
  – risk of electric shock.

• Use ear protection.

• The appliance must be connected to the mains supply with a residual current device with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA.

• Be careful not to let the bar or the blades come into contact with a fence or plant supports etc. as this could damage the bar and/or the blades.

• Hold the appliance firmly with one hand on the front handle and the other on the rear handle.

Remaining risks

  – Damage to lungs (if an effective face mask is not worn). –  Damage to ears {if effective ear protection is not worn).
  – Vibration injuries {if the tool is used for long periods, or is not handled and maintained correctly).
