b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Store idle power tools 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) 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.
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
Cordless Pruning Saw
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 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
