Additional Safety Information - Dewalt Dcmst911 Instructions D’origine

e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised service providers.
Grass Trimmer, Brush Cutter and Brush Saw
Safety Warnings
a ) Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the
risk of being struck by lightning.
b ) Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the machine
during operation.
c ) Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be
used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other
foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
d ) Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see
that the cutter or blade and the cutter or blade assembly are
not damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
e ) Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improperly
tightened blade securing nuts or bolts may either damage the
blade or result in it becoming detached.
f ) The rated rotational speed of the blade must be at least
equal to the maximum rotational speed marked on the
machine. Blades running faster than their rated rotational speed
can break and fly apart.
g ) Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury by flying debris or
accidental contact with the cutting line or blade.
h ) While operating the machine, always wear non‑slip and
protective footwear. Do not operate the machine when
barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of
injury to the feet from contact with the moving cutters or lines.
i ) While operating the machine, always wear safety
footwear. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or
wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the
feet from contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
j ) While operating the machine, always wear long trousers.
Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury from thrown objects.
k ) Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
l ) Always use two hands when operating the machine.
Holding the machine with both hands will avoid loss of control.
m ) Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutting line or blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting line or blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the machine "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
n ) Always keep proper footing and operate the machine
only when standing on the ground. Slippery or unstable
surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the machine.
o ) Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes.
This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which
may result in personal injury.
p ) When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing,
always work across the face of slopes, never up or down
and exercise extreme caution when changing direction. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
q ) Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or
blade when the machine is operating. Before you start the
machine, make sure the cutter, line or blade is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention while operating the machine
may result in injury to yourself or others.
r ) Do not operate the machine above waist height. This helps
prevent unintended cutter or blade contact and enables better
control of the machine in unexpected situations.
s ) When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension,
be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is
released, the brush or sapling may strike the operator and/or throw
the machine out of control.
t ) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the blade and be whipped toward you
or pull you off balance.
u ) Maintain control of the machine and do not touch
cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous moving parts
while they are still in motion. This reduces the risk of injury from
moving parts.
v ) Carry the machine with the machine switched off and away
from your body. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
w ) When transporting or storing the machine, always fit
the cover on metal blades. Proper handling of the machine will
reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the blade.
x ) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and
blades specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
parts may increase the risk of breakage and injury.
y ) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
machine, make sure the switch is off and the battery pack
is removed. Unexpected starting of the machine while clearing
jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
