Instruccions de seguretat

Observeu sempre les precaucions de seguretat bàsiques per reduir el risc d'incendi, descàrrega elèctrica i lesions personals.

Seguretat general

• Seguretat de l'àrea de treball: Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 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.
• Seguretat elèctrica: Eviteu el contacte corporal amb superfícies connectades a terra com ara canonades, radiadors, estufes i refrigeradors. Hi ha un major risc de descàrrega elèctrica si el vostre cos està connectat a terra o a terra.
• Seguretat personal: Estigueu alerta, observeu el que feu i feu servir el sentit comú quan utilitzeu una eina elèctrica. No utilitzeu una eina elèctrica mentre esteu cansat o sota els efectes de drogues, alcohol o medicaments. Un moment de falta d'atenció durant l'ús d'eines elèctriques pot provocar lesions personals greus.
• Use Personal Protective Equipment: Utilitzeu sempre protecció ocular. Els equips de protecció com ara màscara antipols, sabates de seguretat antilliscants, casc o protecció auditiva utilitzats en condicions adequades reduiran les lesions personals.

Seguretat específica del tallabardisses

• Mantingueu les mans allunyades de les fulles. Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutting blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the blades.
• Subjecteu l'eina elèctrica només per les superfícies d'agafada aïllades, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A cutter blade contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• No utilitzeu el tallabarres en condicions meteorològiques adverses, sobretot quan hi ha risc de llamps.
