5.1.1
Precautions for the use
•
Do not cut either branches with a diameter over 32 mm (STARK M model) or 37 mm (STARL L model), or metals,
stones or any object which is not a plant. When the blades get worn or damaged, replace them.
•
Rinse the shear by means of a clean and dry cloth. Do not use any petrol or solvents.
•
To rinse the shear, do not use abrasive degreasers or containing solvents to rinse the shear.
•
For a proper shear operation follow the instructions. In case of damage do not use the shear, the battery and its
charger.
•
Do not use the shear when it does not work properly.
•
Always remove the battery before any operation of adjustment or parts replacement or before storing it at the end
of the work session. This allows to reduce the residual risks due to an involuntary tool activation.
•
The blades must be closed when the shear does not work.
•
The shear must be operated following the instructions and the way of use indicated in this manual, taking into
consideration the environment and the kind of work to carry out. It is recommended not to use the pruning shears
in case of poor psychophysical skills or in situations which are different from the indicated ones, as it could be very
dangerous.
•
After each use remove the residues from the blades and put the LUBE SPRAY GREASE lubricant recommended
by the Manufacturer. These operations guarantee that the blades are kept in good conditions, reduce wear and
extend the lifespan of the shear as well as of the blades.
Stopping the shear
The shear must be switched off at the end of each work session, therefore:
•
Close the blades
•
Put the ON/OFF button (5) in "off" position
•
Remove the battery
•
Carefully put the shear into its packaging.
