of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
The temperature of 130°C can be replaced by the
temperature of 265°F.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or
the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain.
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. Saw chain
continues to move after the switch is turned off. A
moment of inattention while operating the pole saw
may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the pole saw by the handle with the saw chain
stopped. When transporting or storing the pole saw,
always fit the saw chain device cover. Proper
handling of the pole saw will reduce possible
personal injury from the saw chain.
• Hold the pole saw by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
pole saw "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.
• Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near
any electrical power lines. Contact with or use near
power lines may cause serious injury or electric
shock resulting in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole saw.
Hold the pole saw with both hands to avoid loss of
control.
• Always use head protection when operating the pole
saw overhead. Falling debris can result in serious
personal injury.
• Always remove battery pack from your tool when
you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack
will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious personal injury.
3.3
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware
of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate
this machine. Children who are 14 years of age and
older must read and understand the operating
instructions and safety rules in this manual and must
be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the machine off if a child or any
other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure your view of a child who may run into the
path of the machine.
