Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings; Additional Safety Warnings - Ryobi OHT1850X Traduction Des Instructions Originales

■ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
■ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. 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 bind and are easier to control.
■ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■ Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
■ Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
■ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like, paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
■ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
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.

HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove the cut material or hold the
material to be cut when blades are moving. Make
sure the switch is off when clearing jammed
materials. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
■ Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with cutter

blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer reduces possible
personal injury from the cutter blades.
■ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of
the product to some operations. Check with your local
authority for advice. Read all instructions.
■ Clear the work area before each use. Remove all
objects, such as cords, lights, wires, or strings which
can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
means.
■ Check the hedge for foreign objects, such as wire
fences.
■ Exercise additional caution when using the product
near posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.
■ Beware of thrown objects; keep all bystanders, children,
and pets at least 15 m away from work area.
■ Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use the
product.
■ Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a
clear view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
■ Ensure all handles and guards are fitted when using
the hedge trimmer. Never attempt to use an incomplete
hedge trimmer or one fitted with an unauthorised
modification.
■ Ensure before each use that all controls and safety
devices function correctly. Do not use the product if the

falling objects, wear appropriate head protection.
■ Wear heavy long trousers, boots, and gloves. Do not
wear loose fitting clothing, short trousers, jewellery of
any kind, or use with bare feet.
■ Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
■ Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay
extra attention to what is going on in the working area.

of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to
enter your working area.
