FOR ALL BATTERY – OPERATED GARDENING
APPLIANCES
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying
the appliance with your finger on the switch or
energizing appliance that have the switch on invites
accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
3. 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.
4. Use appliances only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130°C ( 265°F) may cause
explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or
the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
2. WARNING – Do not operate near electrical power
lines. The unit has not been designed to provide
protection from electric shock in the event of
contact with overhead electric lines, Consult local
regulations for safe distances from overhead
electric power lines and ensure that the operating
position is safe and secure before operating the saw
Cordless Pruning Saw
chain pole pruner.
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain.
Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed
material. Saw chain continues to move after the
switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while
operating the pole pruner may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Carry the pole pruner by the handle with the saw
chain stopped. When transporting or storing the
pole pruner, always fit the saw chain device cover.
Proper handling of the pole pruner will reduce
possible personal injury from the saw chain.
c) Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
pole pruner "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
d) Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the saw chain.
e) Do not use the pole pruner in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
f) To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near
any electrical power lines. Contact with or use
near power lines may cause serious injury or electric
shock resulting in death.
g) Always use two hands when operating the pole
pruner. Hold the pole pruner with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
h) Always use head protection when operating the pole
pruner overhead. Falling debris can result in serious
personal injury.
Safety Warnings for battery pack
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred battery pack.
b) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
c) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by other metal objects. 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
fire.
d) Do not remove battery pack from its original
packaging until required for use.
e) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
f) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice.
g) Observe the plus (+) and minus (–) marks on
the battery back and equipment and ensure
correct use.
h) Do not use any battery pack which is not
