GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
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 a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
Keep all parts of the body away from the pruner when
the pruner is operating. Before you start the pruner,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating pruners can cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the pruner with your right hand on the
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the pruner with a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
PRUNING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or exces-
sive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
265 °F may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
When servicing a power tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Do not operate a pruner in a tree. Operation of a pruner
while up in a tree can result in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the pruner
only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause
a loss of balance or control of the pruner.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is
released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the pruner out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch the pruner chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Carry the pruner by the front handle with the pruner
switched off and away from your body. When trans-
porting or storing the pruner always fit the guide bar
cover. Proper handling of the pruning saw will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw
chain.
