Carefully read the following instructions. Failure to follow them could cause electric shocks, fire or serious dam-
ages.
2.2.1 Safety at the workplace
•
Use the shear only in good visibility conditions. A dark work area could cause accidents.
Do not make cuts in low light
conditions, such as in the dark in closed or open environments, at night, at sunset, at dawn, with dust / sand in the air
that prevents clear visibility from less than 2 meters. To check whether the visibility is acceptable, put the tool at 2 me-
ters with visible labels, which must be clearly read.
•
Do not use the shear in an explosive, flammable or damp environment.
•
Keep children, bystanders or animals at a safe distance before operating the shear, in order to avoid dangers or inju-
ries. When determining the safety distance, assess the risk of taut branches being thrown at people, objects or ani-
mals. Under normal conditions of tension, 5 meters is the adequate safety distance from the ends of the branches.
2.2.2 Electric safety
•
The supplied battery charger needs a socket which is compatible with its plug. Do not modify either the plug or the
socket.
•
Before, during or after its use, do not leave the shear in the rain or water, in humid environments or in any other damp
condition, in order to avoid the risk of electric shocks or short circuits.
•
Keep the shear away from heat, oil, solvents, sharp edges and moving parts.
2.3 Use
•
Use the tool only for the purposes described in par “Product description”. Any other use could cause injuries and is
expressly forbidden by the Manufacturer.
•
Do not use the tool if it is damaged, wrongly adjusted or not completely assembled.
•
Always leave the shear with the blade group (1-2) closed.
•
Wear protective glasses or a visor, safety shoes, anti-vibration gloves and a noise-abatement headset (par. 3.8).
•
Keep a safe and stable working position, which guarantees a perfect balance (i.e. flat and dry surfaces)
•
The switched-on LED light indicator (8) shows that the tool is working.
•
Do not leave the tool in the rain. Keep it in a dry place.
•
Do not use a battery charger other than that supplied by the Manufacturer. Failure to comply with this requirement can
cause serious damages to the tool and to the user.
•
When a shear is not used, remove its battery and store it in a clean and dry place.
2.4 Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance operations or adjustments on the mechanical parts of the equipment, put on
heavy-duty work shoes, protective gloves and goggles.
• Routine maintenance and repairs can be carried out only by an

qualifications, as defined by the employer.
• Special maintenance (such as disassembling the gear motor or the main board) and repairs can be carried out only by
a
qualified mechanic
.
• Before any maintenance or adjustment operations, disconnect the tool from its battery
• Keep bystanders at least 2 meters away, when servicing or repairing the machine.
• Only
qualified mechanics
are authorised to inactivate the tool safety devices, if any, when special maintenance is to
be performed. It is their responsibility to safeguard the operators and the machine and to re-activate the safety devices
as soon as maintenance work has been completed.
• All maintenance procedures not dealt with in this manual are to be performed at CAMPAGNOLA Authorised Service
Points.
• When maintenance or repairs have been completed, the machine can be started again only if duly authorised by the
qualified mechanic
. The service mechanic must make sure:
- work has been completed;
- the machine runs in a trouble-free manner;
- the safety devices are activated;
- no one is working on the machine.
