English
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. If an
extension cord must be used, plug the
charger into a properly wired 16 gauge
(AWG 16) or heavier gauge extension
cord with blades that are the same
number, size and shapes as the blades
on the charger.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
Always connect the unit to a
–
properly installed wall outlet.
Make sure the insulation of the
–
power supply cord and plug is in
good condition.
Unplug the power supply cord from the
outlet when charger is not in use.
Never store the battery in the charger.

Transporting the Unit
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from blade
contact, never carry or transport your
power tool with the cutting blades
moving.
WARNING
Always switch off the power tool, move
retaining latch to ƒ, remove the battery
and fit the scabbard over the cutting
blades – even when you carry the unit
for short distances. When transporting it
in a vehicle, properly secure the power
tool to prevent turnover and damage.
Remove the battery from
the power tool. This
avoids the risk of the
motor starting
unintentionally.
Carry the power tool by the handle –
cutting blades behind you.
Before Starting Work
WARNING
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the trigger switch, trigger
switch lockout, switch lever and
retaining latch. The trigger switch,
trigger switch lockout and switch lever
must move freely and always spring
back to the idle position (retaining latch
on ‚). Never attempt to modify the
controls or safety devices.
Your power tool is equipped with a
system designed to quickly stop the
cutting blades – they come to an
immediate standstill as soon as you
release the trigger switch and/or the
switch lever on the loop handle.
WARNING
Check this function at regular short
intervals. To reduce the risk of injury, do
not operate your power tool if the cutting
blades continue to run. Contact your
servicing dealer.
WARNING
Never use a power tool that is damaged
or not properly maintained.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease
or resin in order for you to maintain a firm
grip and properly control your power
tool.
WARNING
The cutting blades must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades. Regularly
check the condition and tightness of the
cutting blades – with the motor stopped,
retaining latch on ƒ and battery
