Inserting/Removing The Battery; Switching The Hedge Trimmer/Pruner On And Off - IKRA GM ATHS 4043 Mode D'emploi

b) Do not use a power tool with a dam-
aged switch. A power tool that cannot be
switched on or off any more is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket be-
fore you adjust a tool, change accesso-
ries or put the tool aside. This precaution
avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons to use the
tool if they are not familiar with the tool
or these instructions. Power tools are dan-
gerous if used by inexperienced persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool.
Check whether moving parts are working
properly and are not jamming/sticking,
and whether parts are broken or other-
wise damaged in a way that affects the
function of the tool. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the tool. Many ac-
cidents are the result of poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thor-
oughly looked-after cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are jamming less often and
are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on
tools, etc. in accordance with these in-
structions and in the way prescribed for
the respective type of tool. You should
also consider the working conditions
and the work to be carried out. The use
of power tools for purposes other than those
intended for the respective tool may result in
dangerous situations.
5) Appropriate handling and use of bat-
tery-operated power tools
a) Make sure that the device has been
switched off before inserting the battery.
Inserting a battery into a switched-on power
tool may lead to accidents!
b) Only use charging devices recommend-
ed by the manufacturer to charge the bat-
teries. Charging units are usually designed
for certain types of batteries; if used with
other types there is a risk of fire!
c) Only use batteries designed for your
power tool. The use of other batteries may
lead to injury and risk of fire!
d) Keep unused batteries clear of paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that may bridge the
