SAFETY RULES

TRIMMER/EDGER MODEL ST275

 

 

 

•If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Use of a RCD (GFCI) reduces the risk of electric shock.

•Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the trimmer may contact hidden wiring. Power tools contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

•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.

•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 personal injuries.

•Use personal protective equipment. Always wear long pants and foot protection.

•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

•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 result in personal injury.

•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

•If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

•Prolonged use of power tools has been reported to cause vascular, muscular, or neurological disorders (such as vibration white finger or Raynaud’s syndrome). To reduce the risk of injury, follow these instructions:

––Wear gloves and keep hands and body warm.

––Maintain a firm grip on the trimmer/ edger, but do not use prolonged, excessive pressure.

––Take frequent breaks.

The vibration in normal use can differ from the values stated in the “Specifications and Components” table depending on the material being cut, maintenance of the cutting system, and other factors.
