Personal Safety
•
Stay alert – Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not use the power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Careless or improper use may lead to serious injury.
•
Avoid unintentional starting – Ensure the switch is in the
off position before inserting the battery, or before picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch may lead to accidents.
•
Use personal protective equipment – Always wear eye
protection, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
•
Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations. Always use two hands if operating
in pole pruner mode. Hold the pole pruner with both
hands to avoid loss of control.
•
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 tool may result in personal
injury.
•
Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
as such articles can become caught in moving parts. Tie
up long hair. Using work gloves and protective footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
•
Sharp blades – Keep all parts of the body away from the
blades. Do not grasp the exposed blades when picking up
or holding the tool. When transporting or storing the tool,
always fit the blade sheath on. Do not remove cut material
or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make
sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. A
moment of inattention while operating the product may
result in serious personal injury.
•
Avoid body contact with the earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges or
refrigerators – If the body is earthed or grounded, the risk
of electric shock will increase.
Power Tool Use and Care
•
Know your tool – Make sure you know how to switch the
tool off in an emergency. Be thoroughly familiar with the
controls and ensure they are functioning properly. Do not
use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
•
Use the right tool – Use the power tool and accessories
in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular use of the power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
•
Do not force the pruner – It will do the job better with
less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it
was designed.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the power tool – Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
•
Store indoors – When not in use, the tool should be
stored indoors in a dry place inaccessible by children.
•
Maintain tool with care – 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.
