NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
WARNING:
The noise emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value(s) depending on the ways in which the
tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is
processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841-4-5:
Vibration emission (a
) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
2
or less
2
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Pruning shears safety warnings
1.
Do not use the pruning shear in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
2.
Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be
hidden and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
3.
Hold the pruning shear by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact
hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the pruning
shear "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
4.
Keep all parts of the body away from the blade.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to
be cut when blades are moving.
5.
When clearing jammed material or servicing
the pruning shear, make sure the power switch
is off and the battery pack is removed or dis-
connected. Unexpected actuation of the pruning
shear while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
6.
Carry the pruning shear by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate
the power switch. Proper carrying of the pruning
shear will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting
and resultant personal injury from the blades.
7.
Check the hedges and bushes for foreign
objects, such as wire fences or hidden wiring
before operating the tool.
8.
Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.
The tool is intended to be used by the operator
9.
at ground level. Do not use the tool on ladders
or any other unstable support.
Additional Safety Instructions
1.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
2.
This tool is for pruning branches. Do not use it
for any job except that for which it is intended.
3.
Never allow children, persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge or people
unfamiliar with these instructions to use the
tool. Local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
4.
they do not play with the appliance.
5.
Never operate the tool while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
6.
Do not overreach and keep balance at all
times. Always be sure of footing on slopes and to
walk, never run.
