suitable for outdoor use and has a current capacity sufficient to supply
your product. Check the extension cable before every use for damage.
Always uncoil the extension cable during use because coiled cables can
overheat.
■
If the power cable becomes damaged, replace the power cable before
using.
FOR ASSEMBLING WITH BATTERY-DRIVEN POWER HEAD
■
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 designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
PRUNER SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Do not use the product when there is a possibility of thunderstorm or
lightning. Store the product safely indoors.
■
Ensure that all guards and handles are properly fitted and are in good
condition.
■
Do not start using the product until you have a clear work area, secure
footing, and a planned retreat path away from the falling branches or
limbs.
■
Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust. Wear a mask or
respirator if required.
■
During operation, hold the product with both hands. Use one hand to
firmly grasp the front hand grip. Use the other hand to grasp the rear
handle and operate the trigger release and on/off trigger.
■
Hold the product by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw
chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the product “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
■
Do not modify the product in any way or use it to power any attachments
or devices that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
■
The product comes with a harness. Use the harness while operating the
product. The harness assists you to control the drop of the product after
the cut is completed. It also helps support the weight of the product
during use and while moving between pruning positions.
■
Identify the quick-release mechanism, and practice using it before you
start using the product. The correct use of the quick-release mechanism
may prevent serious injury in case of an emergency. Never wear additional
clothing over the harness or anything that restricts access to the quick-
release mechanism.
■
Before starting the product, make sure that the saw chain is not
contacting any object.
■
An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide bar and could
result in serious injury. Check the chain tension before each and every
use, especially for a new chain.
■
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting moving parts,
always turn off the product, remove the battery pack, and allow both to
cool down. Make sure that all the moving parts have come to a complete
stop:
●
before servicing
●
before clearing a blockage
●
before checking, cleaning, and working on the product
●
before changing accessories
●
after striking a foreign object
●
whenever leaving a product unattended
●
whenever performing maintenance
●
whenever the product starts to vibrate abnormally
■
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an
object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in cut. Tip
contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain
along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back
towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the product, which could result in serious personal injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the product. As a
product user, take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident
or injury. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking the following
precautions:
●
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from
obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a branch,
limb, or any other obstruction while operating the product.
●
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the product, and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator if proper precautions are
taken. Do not let go of the product.
●
Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the product in unexpected situations.
●
Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
●
Sharpening the chain safely is a skilled task. Replace a worn or dull
chain with a new one, available from an authorised service centre.
■
Do not use the product on a ladder or on unstable support. Always cut
with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off-balance.
■
To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate the product within
10 m of overhead electrical lines.
■
Beware of falling branches or those branches that rebound after hitting
the ground.
■
Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush and saplings because
slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or
pull you off-balance.
■
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that
you will not be struck when tension in wood fibres is released.
■
If the cutting performance deteriorates over time, check if the chain teeth
are sharp and clean. If necessary, replace the original chain (and bar) as
recommended by the manufacturer.
■
If the chain and bar become pinched or trapped high in the branches, seek
advice from a professional tree service specialist about the safe removal
of the cutting means.
WARNING!
Check that all the shaft couplings on the extension pole and
tool are securely fastened before each use and at frequent intervals.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the tool, battery pack, or
■
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.
■
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
■
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack
or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.
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 repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
■
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should
only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
ADDITIONAL GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product to
some operation. Check with your local authority for advice.
■
Never allow children or people who are unfamiliar with the instructions to
use the product. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
■
Ensure before each use that all controls and safety devices function
correctly. Do not use the product if the “off” switch does not stop the
motor.
■
Wear full eye and hearing protection, strong sturdy gloves, and head
protection while operating the product. Use a face mask if operation is
dusty.
■
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, short trousers, or jewellery of any kind.
■
Secure long hair so that it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement
in moving parts.
■
Beware of thrown, flying, or falling objects. Keep all bystanders, children,
and animals at least 15 m away from the work area.
■
Do not operate the product in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear
view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
■
The use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings
(shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is
going on in the working area.
■
Operating similar products nearby increases both the risk of hearing
injury and the potential for other persons to enter the working area.
■
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result
in loss of balance and can increase the risk of kickback.
■
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
■
Inspect the product before each use. Check for the correct operation of all
controls. Check for loose fasteners. Make sure that all guards and handles
are properly and securely attached. Replace any damaged parts before
use.
■
Do not modify the product in any way or use parts and accessories that
are not recommended by the manufacturer.
■
Do not allow familiarity with the product to make you careless. A careless
fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
■
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.
WARNING!
If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact, or begins to
vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product and inspect for damage or
identify the cause of the vibration. Any damage should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre.
