c)  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.  

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2)  Electrical safety
a)  Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any 

way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power 

tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric 

shock.

b)  Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, 

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric 

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c)  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d)  Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or 

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp 

edges or moving parts.  

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e)  When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord  

suitable for outdoor use.  

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f)   If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use 

a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.  

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3)  Personal safety
a)  Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when 

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired  

or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of 

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b)  Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.  

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non­skid safety shoes, hard hat, or 

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal  injuries.

c)  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position 

before connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up  

or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or 

energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d)  Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. 

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tools may result 

in personal injury.

e)  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f)   Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your 

hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.  

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g)  If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and 

 collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. 

Use of dust collection can reduce dust­related hazards.

h)  Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to 

become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.  

A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4)  Power tool use and care
a)  Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your 

 application.  The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the  

rate for which it was designed.

b)  Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.  

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and 

must be repaired.

c)  Disconnect the plug from the power source and / or the battery  

pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing 

 accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures 

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d)  Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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.

e)  Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving 

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the 

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired 

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f)   Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools  

with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g)  Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with 

these instructions, taking 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.

h)  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.

5)  Battery tool use and care
a)  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.

b)  Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.  

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c)  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.

d)  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.

e)  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.

f)   Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. 

Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

g)  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.

6)  Service
a)  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.

b)  Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should 

only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.

National regulation can restrict the use of the pruner.
Daily Inspect before use and after dropping or other impacts in order to identify 

any significant damage or defects.

Pole Pruner safety warnings
a)  Keep all parts of the body away from the chain. Do not remove cut 

material or hold material to be cut when chain is moving.  

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 chain stopped and taking 

care not to operate any power switch.  

Proper carrying of the pole pruner will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting 

and resultant personal injury from the chain.

c)  When transporting or storing the pole pruner, always fit the chain 

cover. Proper handling of the pole pruner will decrease the risk of personal 

injury from the chain.

d)  When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all 

power switches are off and the battery pack is removed or discon-

nected. Unexpected actuation of the pole pruner while clearing jammed 

material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.

e)  When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all 

power switches are off and the lock-off is in the locked position. 

 Unexpected actuation of the pole pruner while clearing jammed material or 

servicing may result in serious personal injury.

f)   Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping surfaces only, because  

the chain may contact hidden wiring.  

Chain contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the hedge 

trimmer “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

g)  Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area.  

Power cords or cables may be hidden in trees or bushes and can be 

 accidentally cut by the chain.

h)  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.

Pole pruner safety warnings
a)  To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the extended-reach pole 

pruner near any electrical power lines. Contact with or use near power 

lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.

b)  Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach pole 

 pruner.   

Hold the extended­reach pole pruner with both hands to avoid loss of control.

c)  Always use head protection when operating the extended-reach pole 

pruner overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal injury.

Search hedges and trees for hidden objects (e. g. wire fences and hidden wires).
The use of a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA or less is 

recommended.
Hold the pole pruner with both hands on both handles.
The pole pruner is intended for use when the user is standing on the ground and 

not on a ladder or other unstable surface.
Before using the pole pruner, make sure that the locking devices of all moving 

parts (e. g. the extended shaft and the pivot element) are in the locked position.
