Wear suitable work clothes such as boots with non-slip soles, sturdy long
trousers, gloves and goggles.
Threading the power cord through a picking sleeve
will prevent the cord from tangling or getting cut.
Do not wear long flowing clothing or jewelry, as this may be caught by moving
parts.
Do not use tool while walking barefooted or while wearing open sandals.
a.
Don’t use the electric pruner in the rain.
b.
The electric pruner is designed for trimming hedges, vines or branches.
Do not use to cut metal, trellis wire, extremely hard wood or other
objects.
c.
Do not attempt to dislodge a blocked/trapped blade before switching the
tool off.
d.
Before commencing with pruning, check the vines or branches for hidden
objects such as trellis wire etc.

distance away from your body.

explosion risk exist in the event of a short circuit.
