5) Do not allow power tools to be operated by people unfamiliar with power tools or these
instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6) Power tool maintenance: check that the moving parts are in place and not stuck, check
the damage of the parts and other conditions that affect the operation of the power tool.
In case of damage, the power tool should be repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
7) Keep the moving cutting and non-moving blades sharp and clean. Well-maintained tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to get stuck and are easy to control.
8) Use power tool, accessories, and working surfaces in accordance with the operating
instructions and work conditions. Using power tools for operations that do not match
their purpose can be dangerous.
Battery-Operated Tool Precautions
1) Make sure the switch is off before inserting the battery pack into your ePruner. Inserting
the battery into a power tool whose switch status is ON can cause an accident or
damage to the tool.
2) Charge only with the charger provided by the manufacturer. There is a danger of
damage to the battery and fire when using an unsuitable charger.
3) Use only battery packs designed and provided by the manufacturer. Damage to the tool
and fire hazards can occur when using non approved battery packs or power sources.
4) When the battery pack is not in use, being transported, or stored away, make sure that
no small metal objects, such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, can meet the
battery terminals. If the positive and negative terminals are connected a short circuit will
occur causing a fire or explosion.
5) When used inappropriately, liquid and fumes may escape out of the battery so one must
avoid contact. If you accidentally come in contact, rinse with water. If liquid or fumes
contact your eyes, seek medical help. Liquid and fumes that can escape from the battery
can corrode or burn.

1) Keep the tool at least 16-inches away from any part of the body.
2) Do not remove cuttings while the blade is in operation.
3) Do not hold the objects you intend to cut with your opposing hand.
4) Only remove cuttings when the power is off.
5) When using the pruning shears, a slight oversight may result in serious personal injury.
6) When the blade is stopped, only carry the pruner by the handle and never by the cutting
blades.
7) Careful and correct use of pruner will reduce the risk of injury from the blade.
