1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
4.
Store idle power tools indoors, out of the
reach of children, and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
5.
Maintain power tools and accessories.
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.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
8.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
V. Battery tool use and care
1.
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or
temperature above 100 °C (212 °F) may cause
explosion.
7.
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specified in the
instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
8.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
9.
CAUTION—A mistreated battery pack may
present a risk of fire or chemical burn.
Do not
disassemble the battery pack. Do not heat the
battery pack above 68°C (154°F) or incinerate
it. Replace the battery pack with a genuine Toro
battery pack only; using another type of battery
pack may cause a fire or explosion. Keep
battery packs out of the reach of children and
in the original packaging until you are ready to
use them.
VI. Service
1.
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
VII. Pole saw safety
1.
Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain. Do not remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when the saw chain
is moving. Make sure the switch is off and
the battery disconnected when clearing
jammed material. Saw chain continues to
move after the switch is turned off. Before
you start the pole saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything.
