b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according
to these instructions. Take into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Only charge the batteries with battery chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. A battery char-
ger that is suitable for a particular type of battery pos-
es a fire hazard when used with other batteries.
b) Only use the batteries in power tools that are de-
signed for them. The use of other batteries can lead
to injuries and a risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal ob-
jects that could cause a short-circuit between the
contacts. A short-circuit between the contacts of the
battery could result in burns or fires.
d) Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrect-
ly. Avoid contact with it. In case of accidental con-
tact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your
eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking
battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Dam-
aged or modified batteries can behave unpredictably
and cause fire, explosion or injury.
f) Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive tem-
peratures. Fire or temperatures above 130°C may
cause an explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and never charge
the battery or rechargeable tool outside the tem-
perature range specified in the operating manual.
Incorrect charging or charging outside the approved
temperature range can destroy the battery and in-
crease the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists and only with original spare parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
b) Never attempt to service damaged batteries. Any
type of battery maintenance shall be carried out only
by the manufacturer or an authorised customer ser-
vice centre.
Safety instructions for lawnmowers
a)
Do not use the lawnmower in bad weather, espe-
cially not during thunderstorms. This reduces the
risk of being struck by lightning.
b) Also check the working area for wild animals. Wild
animals could be injured by the running lawnmower.
c) Thoroughly check the working area and remove
all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other objects.
Parts that are ejected can cause injuries.
d) Always check that the mowing blades and mowing
unit are not worn or damaged before using the
lawnmower. Worn or damaged parts increase the risk
of injury.
e) Check the grass catcher regularly for wear and
tear. A worn or damaged grass catcher increases the
risk of injuries.
f) Leave guards in their place. Guards must be oper-
ational and properly fastened. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or not functioning correctly can result in in-
juries.
g) Keep all cooling air openings free of deposits.
Blocked air inlets and deposits can result in overheat-
ing or a risk of fire.
h) Always wear non-slip safety shoes when operat-
ing the lawnmower. Never work barefoot or in
open sandals. This prevents the risk of foot injuries if
contact in made with the rotating mowing blade.
i)
Always wear long trousers when operating the
lawnmower. Bare skin increases the likelihood of in-
juries by ejected parts.
j)
Do not operate the lawnmower in wet grass. Walk;
never run. This prevents the risk of slipping and fall-
ing down, which could result in injuries.
k) Do not operate the lawnmower on excessively
steep slopes. This prevents the risk of losing control,
slipping and falling down, which could result in inju-
ries.
l)
When working on slopes, make sure you have se-
cure footing, always work across the slope, never
upwards or downwards, and be extremely careful
when changing the working direction. This pre-
vents the risk of losing control, slipping and falling
down, which could result in injuries.
m) Take particular care when mowing backwards or
pulling the lawnmower towards you. Always pay
attention to the environment. This reduces the risk
of tripping while working.
