General safety notes for power tools

WARNING!
Read all safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow the instructions below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety notes and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” used in the safety notes refers to both mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and battery powered power tools (without power cord).

Workplace safety

• Keep your work area tidy and well lit. Clutter or unlit work areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power 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 s an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not misuse the power cord, such as to carry or hang the power tool or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled power 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. 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 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 a 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 energising 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. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Using and handling the power tool

• Do not overload the power tool. Use the appropriate power tool for your work. The right power tool allows you to work better and safer in the specified power range.

• Do not use any power tool that has a defective switch. Power tools that can no longer be switched on or off are dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or remove any removable batteries before making adjustments to the device, changing any insert tool parts, or putting the power tool away. This precaution helps prevent unintentional starting of the power tool.

• Keep power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Whoever is not familiar with the power tool or who has not read these instructions should not be allowed to use it.
  Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.

• Power tools and insert tools must be subject to careful maintenance. Check whether moving parts function properly without jamming, and whether parts are broken or damaged to such an extent that they impair the functions of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents happen due to poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp blades tend to jam less and are easier to guide.

• Use power tools, insert tools, insert tool parts, etc. according to these instructions. While doing so, take into account the working conditions and the activity to be performed. The use of power tools for applications other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations.

• Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces hinder safe operation and control of the power tool in unforeseen situations.

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.

Safety notices for the lawnmower

• Do not use the lawnmower in bad weather, particularly not in thunderstorms. This reduces the risk of being struck by lighting.

• Thoroughly check the working area for any wild animals. Wild animals may be injured by the running lawnmower.

• Thoroughly check the working area and remove any stones, branches, wires, bones and any other foreign objects.
  Ejected parts may cause injuries.

• Prior to use of the lawnmower always check whether the blades and the blade mechanism are worn or damaged.
  Worn or damaged parts increase the risk of injury.

• Prior to use, check the mains cable and potential extension cords for signs of damage or ageing. Do not use the lawnmower if the cable is damaged or worn. If the mains cable is damaged or worn during use, switch off the lawnmower and do not touch the cable before having unplugged the power plug. A damaged mains or extension cord may lead to electric shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

• Regularly check the cuttings collector for wear. A worn or damaged cuttings collector increases the risk of injuries.

• Do not modify the positions of protective covers. Protective covers must be ready for use and they must have been attached correctly. A loose, damaged or incorrectly operating protective cover may lead to injuries.

• Keep cooling air inlet openings unobstructed. Blocked air inlets and deposits may cause overheating or a risk of fire.

• Always wear safety shoes with anti-slip soles when operating the lawnmower. Do not work barefoot or in sandals.
  This reduces the risk of injuries to feet when coming in contact with rotating blades.

• Always wear long trousers when operating the lawnmower. Exposed skin increases the risk of injuries caused by ejected parts.

• Do not operate the lawnmower on a wet lawn. Walk, don’t run. This reduces the risk of slipping and falling which may cause injuries.

• Do not operate the lawnmower on excessively steep inclines. This reduces the risk of losing control, slipping and falling which may cause injuries.

• Make sure you are standing securely when working on inclines; always work across the incline and do not work up or down the incline and take extra care when changing the working direction. This reduces the risk of losing control, slipping and falling which may cause injuries.

• Take particular care when moving backwards with the  lawnmower or when pulling the lawnmower towards your self. Always keep an eye on the  surroundings. This reduces the risk of tripping while operating the lawnmower.

• Keep the mains cable from blades. A damaged mains cable may lead to electric shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

• Switch off the lawnmower and unplug the power plug if the mains cable has caught on something or if it has been damaged. Cables that have caught on something or damaged cables may increase the risk of an electric shock.

• Do not touch blades or other dangerous parts that are still moving. This reduces the risk of injuries caused by moving parts.

• Make sure that all switches have been switched off and the power plug has been unplugged before removing jammed material or cleaning the lawnmower. Any unexpected operation of the lawnmower may cause severe injuries.

• Take particular care when moving backwards with the lawnmower or when pulling the lawnmower towards yourself. Always keep an eye on the surroundings. This reduces the risk of tripping while operating the lawnmower.

• Keep the mains cable from blades. A damaged mains cable may lead to electric shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

• Switch off the lawnmower and unplug the power plug if the mains cable has caught on something or if it has been damaged. Cables that have caught on something or damaged cables may increase the risk of an electric shock.

• Do not touch blades or other dangerous parts that are still moving. This reduces the risk of injuries caused by moving parts.
