the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) 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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) 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.
6) Service
a) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
1) General pruning saw safety warnings:
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the pruning saw is operating.
Before you start the pruning saw, make sure
the saw chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating pruning
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
b) Always hold the pruning saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the pruning saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the risk of
Cordless Pruning Saw
personal injury and should never be done.
c) Hold the pruning saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting
a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the
pruning saw live and could give the operator an
electric shock.
d) Wear safety glasses protection. Further
protective equipment for hearing, head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal injury by
flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a pruning saw in a tree, on a
ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable support.
Operation of a pruning saw in this manner could
result in serious personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the
pruning saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of
the pruning saw.
g) When cutting a limb that is under tension , be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released , the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the pruning saw
out of control.
h) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
i) Carry the pruning saw by the front handle with
the pruning saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the
pruning saw , always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the pruning saw will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not use
pruning saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
pruning saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
l) This pruning saw is not intended for tree
felling. Use of the pruning saw for operations
different than intended could result in serious
injury to the operator or bystanders.
m) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the pruning saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery
pack is removed. Unexpected actuation of the
pruning saw while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
n) Recommendation that the first-time user
should, as a minimum, practise cutting logs on
a saw-horse or cradle.
o) Recommendation to have sharpening and
maintenance of the saw chain performed by
authorised service centres.
