3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
4.
dren 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.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
6.
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
8. 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.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. 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 desig-
2.
nated battery 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
3.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. 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
1.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
3.
ing accessories.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
4.
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
General pruning saw safety
warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the pruning saw is operating.
Before you start the pruning saw, make sure
the saw chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating pruning
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
Always hold the pruning saw with one hand on the
2.
rear handle and the other hand on the front handle.
3. Hold the pruning saw by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the pruner saw
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Wear eye protection. Further protective equip-
4.
ment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective equipment
will reduce personal injury from flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a pruning saw in a tree, on a
ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable sup-
port. Operation of a pruning saw in this manner
could result in serious personal injury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the
pruning saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of
the pruning saw.
7. When cutting a branch that is under tension,
be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the spring loaded branch
may strike the operator and/or throw the pruning
saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-
8.
lings. The slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Carry the pruning saw with the pruning saw
9.
switched off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the pruning saw,
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling
of the pruning saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
