Work Area Safety

m
WARNING!
Do not operate near power lines. Consult
local regulations for safe distances from overhead power lines
and ensure that the work area is safe before operating the
pruner.
• Keep work area clean and well lit – Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not operate the
tool in gaseous or explosive environments or use it near
flammable or combustible materials.
• Bad weather – Do not use the pruner in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning.
Doing so decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• Keep bystanders and children away – All bystanders,
including children and pets, should be kept a safe
distance away from the work area.
• Do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions –
Contact with water will increase the risk of electric shock.
Battery & Charger
Safety Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling
of the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor
care of high-performance batteries are the main factors
responsible for personal and/or product damage.
m
WARNING!
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.

Have your battery pack serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the battery pack is maintained.

CAUTION!

24V iON+ designated chargers and 24V iON+ battery packs.
The use of other batteries or chargers poses a risk of fire,
personal injury or damage. Do not modify or attempt to
repair the tool or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care. Do not wire a battery pack to a
power supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Such misuse will
permanently disable or damage the battery pack.
m
WARNING!
always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning
or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger.
Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock
hazards.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the
battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence
of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or
flammable materials) because sparks may be generated
when inserting or removing the battery pack, which could
lead to a fire.
• Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is 41°F
(5°C) to 105°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the battery outside
in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
• Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger,
pull the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to reduce
the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never
carry the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will
not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage
or stress when the charger is in use. Do not use the
charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a damaged
charger immediately.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary – Using the wrong, damaged or improperly
wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric
shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the
charger into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension
cord with the female plug matching the male plug on the
charger. Make sure that the extension cord is in good
electrical condition.
• Do not expose the tool or battery pack to fire –
Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F (130°C) may
cause the battery pack to explode, causing personal injury
or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
battery packs are ignited.
• Use only recommended attachments – Use of an
unapproved attachment may result in risk of fire, electric
shock or personal injury.
