Maintenance, Storage And Transport; Environmental Protection - Stiga R72 Li 48 V1 Gebrauchsanweisung

- After hitting a foreign object. Check the machine for
damage and, if necessary, repair it before using it again;
- If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally: inspect for
possible damage; check for and tighten any loose parts;
have all checks, repair works and replacements carried
out by an Authorised Service Centre.
If something breaks or an accident occurs
during work, turn off the motor immediately and
move the machine away to prevent further
damage; if an accident occurs with injuries or
third parties are injured, carry out the first aid
measures most suitable for the situation
immediately and contact the medical authorities
for any necessary health care. Carefully remove
any debris which could cause damage or injury
to persons or animals if ignored.

1.4. MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain
machine safety and high performance levels.
• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Faulty
or worn-out parts must always be replaced and never
repaired. Only use original spare parts.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the
cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with debris
inside a room.
The noise and vibration levels shown in these
instructions are the maximum levels for use of
the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting
element, the excessive speed of movement, or
lack of maintenance have a significant influence
on noise emissions and vibrations. Consequently,
it is necessary to take preventive steps to
eliminate possible damage due to high levels
of noise and stress from vibration; maintain the
machine well, wear ear protection devices, and
take breaks whilst working.
1.5. BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
• Only use battery chargers recommended by the
manufacturer to recharge batteries. An inadequate battery
charger may cause electric shock, overheating or corrosive
liquid to leak from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically designed for your power tool.
The use of other batteries may cause injuries and fire risks.
• Keep unused batteries away from metal objects (office
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, etc.) which could cause a
short circuit of the contacts. Short circuits between battery
contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
• Do not use the battery charger in places where there are
inflammable vapours, substances or on easily inflammable
surfaces like paper, fabric, etc. During recharge, the battery
charger becomes heated and may cause fire.
• When transporting batteries, make sure the contacts never
come into contact with each other and never use metal
containers to transport them.
• Only connect the battery charger to a socket with the mains
frequency as indicated on the name plate.
• The battery charging cable plug must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with the earthed (grounded) battery charge cable.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the
risk of electric shocks.
• To prevent interruptions in the supply of electrical power
during charging operations:
- check that the overall capacity of the electrical system
is suitable;
- connect the machine to a power socket with sufficient
amperage;
- avoid simultaneous use of other electrical appliances
with high energy draw.
• Keep the battery charge cable out of the reach of children.

1.6. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal
of packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements with
a strong environmental impact; this waste must not be
disposed of with regular waste, but must be separated and
taken to collection centres, which will recycle the materials.
• Comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste
materials.
• When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not
dispose of it in the environment, but take it to a waste
disposal facility in accordance with the local regulations
in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away with
domestic waste. In observance of European
Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic
equipment waste and its implementation, in
observance of UK Regulation "The waste electrical
and electronic equipment regulations 2013 (as
amended)" and in accordance with national
regulations, old electrical equipment must be
collected separately, for eco-compatible recycling.
If electrical equipment is disposed of in dumps or
in landfills, hazardous substances can leak into
the groundwater and contaminate the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being. For further
information on the disposal of this product, contact
your dealer or a domestic waste collection service.
