Safety
13
e) Do not use a damaged or modified rechargeable battery.
Dam-
aged or modified rechargeable batteries can be unpredictable and
may result in fire, an explosion or a risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a rechargeable battery to fire or excessively high
temperatures.
Fire or temperatures above 130 °C may cause an
explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charging and never charge the battery
or cordless tool outside of the temperature range indicated in the
user manual.
Improper charging or charging outside of the permit-
ted temperature range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.
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 perform maintenance on damaged rechargeable batteries.
Only the manufacturer or authorised service companies may perform
maintenance on rechargeable batteries.
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers
a) Keep all body parts away from the cutter. When the cutter is mov-
ing, do not try to remove clippings or hold the material to be cut.
Only remove trapped clippings when the device is switched off.
A
single moment of inattentiveness when using the hedge trimmer can
result in serious injury.
b) When the cutter is at a standstill, carry the hedge trimmer by the
handle. Always fit the protective blade cover when transporting
or storing the hedge trimmer.
Handle the hedge trimmer with care
to minimise the risk of injury caused by the cutter.
c) Only hold the power tool by the insulated handle surfaces as
the cutter may come into contact with hidden power lines.
If the
cutter comes into contact with a voltage-carrying line, the device’s
metallic parts may be energised, resulting in an electric shock.
d) Keep any wires away from the cutting area.
When you are work-
ing, wires hidden in the bushes may be accidentally severed.
