20 SVENSKA
Personlig skyddsutrustning
► Fig.1
► Fig.2
1.
Klä dig rätt. Tänk på att ha en bekväm och funktionell
klädsel med god passform, dvs varken för hårt eller löst
sittande plagg. Bär varken smycken eller kläder som kan
trassla in sig. Använd skyddsmössa om du har långt hår.
2. Bär alltid kraftiga skor med halkfri sula när
du arbetar med maskinen. Detta skyddar mot
skador och garanterar en god balans.
3. Bär skyddsglasögon eller korgglasögon.
El- och batterisäkerhet
1. Undvik farlig miljö. Använd inte maskinen på fuktiga
eller blöta områden, eller utsätt den för regn. Vatten som
kommer in i maskinen ökar risken för elektrisk stöt.
2. Ladda endast med den laddare som angivits
av tillverkaren. En laddare som passar en typ
av batteri kan skapa risk för brand när den
används tillsammans med annan typ av batteri.
3. Använd endast maskiner tillsammans med till-
hörande batterier. Om andra batterier används
kan risken för personskada och brand öka.
4.
När batteriet inte används bör det hållas borta från andra
metallföremål som till exempel gem, mynt, nycklar, spik,
skruvar eller andra små metallföremål som kan skapa
anslutning från en terminal till en annan. Kortslutning av
batteripolerna kan orsaka brännskador eller brand.
5. Under hårda förhållande kan det komma vätska
ur batteriet. Undvik kontakt. Spola med vatten
om kontakt ändå råkar uppstå. Om du får vätska i
ögonen ska du uppsöka läkare. Vätska från batte-
riet kan orsaka hudirritation eller ge brännskador.
6. Släng inte batteriet/batterierna i öppen eld.
Cellen kan explodera. Kontrollera de lokala
reglerna för möjlig speciell avfallshantering.
7.
Öppna inte eller förstör batteriet/batterierna.
Elektrolyt som kommer ut är frätande och kan ge
ögon- eller hudskador. Det kan vara giftigt vid intag.
Starta maskinen
► Fig.3
1. Kontrollera att barn och andra obehöriga inte
benner sig inom ett arbetsområde av 15
meter (50 ft) från maskinen, och var även upp-
märksam på eventuella djur i omgivningen. I
annat fall ska du sluta att använda maskinen.
2.
Kontrollera alltid före användningen att maskinen är säker
att använda. Kontrollera säkerheten för klippverktyget
och skyddet samt avtryckaren/startspaken för enkel och
korrekt funktion. Kontrollera att handtagen är rena och
torra, och testa strömbrytarens on/off-funktion (på/av).
3. Kontrollera skadade delar före fortsatt användning
av maskinen. Ett skydd eller annan del som är
skadad, ska noggrant kontrolleras för att avgöra om
den kommer att fungera korrekt och utför det arbete
som den är avsedd för. Kontrollera inriktningen
och fästet för rörliga delar, om det nns trasiga
delar, monteringen eller andra förhållande som kan
påverka användningen av maskinen. Ett skydd eller
annan del som är skadad ska repareras ordentligt
eller bytas ut av en auktoriserad serviceverkstad
om inte något annat anges i denna bruksanvisning.
4. Starta endast motorn när du inte har dina
händer och fötter i närheten av skärverktyget.
5. Kontrollera innan du startar att skärverktyget
inte är i kontakt med hårda föremål såsom gre-
nar, stenar etc. eftersom skärverktyget roterar
vid start.
Arbetsmetod
1. Kör aldrig maskinen med skadade skydd eller
utan skydden på plats.
2.
Använd endast maskinen då du har goda ljus-
och siktförhållanden. Var uppmärksam på våta
och hala äckar, snö och is under vintersä-
songen (halkrisk). Se till att alltid ha bra fotfäste.
3. Var försiktig så att du inte skadar händer och
fötter på skärverktyget.
4. Håll alltid händer och fötter borta från skä-
rande delar, särskilt när du startar motorn.
5. Klipp aldrig över midjehöjd.
6. Stå aldrig på en stege när du kör maskinen.
7. Arbeta aldrig på ostadigt underlag.
8. Översträck inte. Stå alltid stabilt och ha god
balans.
9. Se alltid till att ha balans på sluttningar.
10. Gå, spring aldrig.
11. Ta bort sand, stenar, spikar etc. som nns
i arbetsområdet. Främmande föremål kan
skada skärverktyget och kastas iväg vilket kan
orsaka allvarlig skada.
12. Vidrör aldrig rörliga, farliga delar innan maski-
nen har kopplats bort från elnätet och de rör-
liga, farliga delarna är helt stilla.
13. Stäng omedelbart av motorn och inspektera
skärverktyget om det har slagit i stenar eller
andra hårda föremål.
14. Innan klippningen kan börja måste skärverkty-
get uppnått full arbetshastighet.
15. Håll alltid maskinen med båda händerna under
arbetet. Håll aldrig maskinen med en hand
under användningen. Se till att alltid ha bra
fotfäste.
16. All skyddsutrustning såsom skydd som med-
följer maskinen, måste användas när du arbe-
tar med maskinen.
17. Tappa inte eller kasta maskinen på marken
förutom i nödsituationer eftersom det allvarligt
kan skada den.
18. Dra aldrig maskinen på marken när du yttar
den från plats till plats. I annat fall kan den
skadas.
19. Ta alltid bort batterikassetten från maskinen:
— när maskinen lämnas utan uppsikt.
— innan du tar bort något som fastnat.
— innan maskinen kontrolleras, rengörs
eller något arbete utförs på den.
— innan justeringar, byte av tillbehör eller
förvaring.
— när maskinen börjar vibrera onormalt.
— när maskinen transporteras.
20. Tvinga inte maskinen. Den gör sitt arbete
bättre och med mindre risk för olycka med den
fart som den är konstruerad för.
