create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
This may cause an internal short-circuit and the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your main-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work Area Safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the
risk of injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to the power
source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or power tools that have been turned on invites
accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may increase
the risk of injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught by moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use And Care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if it can’t be turned on
and off by its switch. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or before
storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measure
reduces the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain the 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. 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
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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 fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If you accidentally contact the
battery liquid, flush it with water. If the battery liquid contacts
the eyes, seek medical help as soon as possible. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
professional using only the identical replacement
parts.This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

TIPS ON LAWN CARE
Here are some tips to help you keep your lawn looking
healthy and ensure uniform growth:
Lawns consist of various grass types. Frequent mowing
promotes the growth of grass, resulting in strong roots and a
firm sward. If you seldom cut the grass, you will enhance the
development of high-growing types of grass and other weeds,
such as clover, daisies). The normal height of a lawn is
approx. 4–5 cm. Only one third of the total height should be
mown; therefore cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal height.
