24 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
d)Unused electric power tools must be stored out of the 
reach of children. Do not let anyone use the electric power 
tool who is not familiar with it or has not read the 
instructions and advice. Electric power tools are 
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e)Maintain electric power tools and accessories with care. 
Check for misalignment or jamming of moving parts, 
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect 
the functionality of the electric power tool. If damaged, 
have the electric power tool repaired before use. Many 
accidents are caused by poorly maintained electrical 
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained 
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam 
and are easier to control.
g)Use the electric power tool, accessories, tool bits etc. in 
accordance with these instructions, taking into account 
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use 
of the electric power tool for operations different from 
those intended may result in a hazardous situation. 
h)Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from 
oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces doe not 
allow proper operation and control of the electric power 
tool in unforeseen situations.
24.6 Battery tool use and care
a)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.
b)Use power tools only with specifically designated battery 
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of 
injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other 
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws 
or other small objects that can make a connection from 
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals 
together may cause burns or a fire.
d)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.
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 (265 °F) 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.
24.7 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 batteries. Service of battery 
packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or 
authorized service providers. 
24.8 Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings
General safety warnings for hedge trimmers
a)Keep all parts of your body away from the blade. Do not 
attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut 
while the blades are running. The blades continue to run 
after the trimmer is switched off. A moment of inattention 
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious 
personal injury.
b)Carry the hedge trimmer, with blade at standstill, by the 
handle. Take care not to press the switch. Carrying the 
hedge trimmer correctly reduces the risk of accidental 
startup and the resulting injury from the blade.
