Pruning shears safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
2.
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
3. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
4. This tool is for pruning branches. Do not use it
for any job except that for which it is intended.
5. Never allow children, persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge or people
unfamiliar with these instructions to use the
tool. Local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
6. Never operate the tool while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
7. Do not overreach and keep balance at all
times. Always be sure of footing on slopes and to
walk, never run.
8. Do not touch moving hazardous parts before
the tool is disconnected from the mains and/or
the battery pack is removed from the tool.
9. Always wear substantial footwear and long
trousers while operating the tool.
10. Disconnect the supply and/or remove the
battery pack from the tool:
• whenever the tool is left by the user,
• before clearing a blockage,
• before checking, cleaning or working on the
tool,
• after striking a foreign object to inspect the
tool for damage,
• if the tool starts to vibrate abnormally, for
immediately check.
Never operate the tool with defective guards
11.
or shields, or without safety devices, or if the
cord is damaged or worn.
12. Avoid using the tool in bad weather conditions
especially when there is a risk of lightning.
13. Don't use the tool or perform battery charging
operations in the rain.
14. Don't leave the tool in rain or wet locations.
15. Be careful not to catch foreign matter between
the blades. If the blades are jammed with foreign
matter, immediately switch off the tool and discon-
nect the battery from the tool. Then remove the
foreign matter from the blades.
16. Never hold the branch you are pruning with
your free hand. Keep your free hand away from
the cutting area. Never touch the blades, they are
very sharp and you may cut yourself.
17. Don't force the tool to make it cut. You could
slip and injure yourself or cut something else
unintentionally.
18. Avoid cutting electrical wires that may be
hidden.
19. Always check the blades carefully before
operation.
20. Handle the blades with extreme care to prevent
cuts or injury from the blades.
21. Disconnect the battery from the tool after each
use and before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
22. When not in use, always keep the tool in its
holster.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by
1.
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.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
2.
nated 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
3.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
1.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
2.
ing accessories.
3. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
