d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasing
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. 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.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
c. 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.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265º F may cause explosion.
g. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265º F may cause explosion.

Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
Alligator™ Lopper.
Warning! Never use the tool above shoulder height. Always
position yourself out of the path of falling branches and debris.
Warning! Do not use this tool to fell trees.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
u
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and give the operator an electric shock.
Keep all parts of the body and clothing away from
u
the saw chain at all times. Before you start the tool,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating the tool may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Hold the tool in front of you and be aware of the saw
chain position especially when cutting branches near the
ground.
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches and debris.
u
Ensure the exit route is clear of obstacles that would
prevent or hinder movement. Remember wet grass and
freshly cut bark is slippery.
Be aware of the direction that a branch may fall.
u
Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall,
including:
The intended direction of fall.
u
The natural lean of the branch.
u
Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
u
Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead
u
lines.
The wind speed and direction.
u
The safe distance between a branch to be felled and
u
bystanders, buildings and other objects is at least
2 1/2 times the length of the branch. Any bystander,
building or object within this distance is at risk from being
struck by the falling branch.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
u
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is
released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the tool out of control.
