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.
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 fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
you accidentally contact the battery liquid,
flush it with water. If the battery liquid
contacts the eyes, seek medical help as soon
as possible. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
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.
Safety instructions for pole saws
•When the pole saw is running, keep all the body
parts away from the saw chain. Before starting
the pole saw, ensure that the saw chain
touches nothing. When working with a pole saw,
a moment of inattention may result in clothing or
body parts being caught by the pole saw.
•Hold the electric power tool by the insulated
handle surfaces, as the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. If the saw chain comes into contact
with a live line, metallic parts of the unit may
become energized and cause an electric shock.
•Wear goggles and hearing protection.
Additional protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Suitable
protective clothing reduces the risk of injury from
flying splinters and of accidentally touching the saw
chain.
•Do not work with the pole saw in a tree. When
operating the pole saw in a tree, there is a risk of
injury.
•Always ensure you have a firm footing and use
the pole saw only when you are standing on
solid, safe and level ground. Slippery ground or
unsteady footing, such as on a ladder, may cause
you to lose your balance or lose control of the pole
saw.
•When cutting a branch which is under tension,
expect it to spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibers is released, the branch under tension
may strike the operator and/or cause him to lose
control of the pole saw.
•Be particularly careful when cutting
undergrowth and young trees. Thin material may
become caught in the saw chain and strike you or
cause you to lose your balance.
•Carry the pole saw, switched off, by the front
handle, ensuring that the pole saw is turned
away from your body. When transporting or
storing the pole saw, always pull on the protective
cover. Handle the pole saw carefully to reduce the
likelihood of inadvertently touching the running saw
chain.
•Follow the instructions for lubrication,
tensioning the chain and changing the
accessories. An improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either snap or increase the
risk of a kickback.
•Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and
grease. Greasy and oily handles are slippery and
will cause loss of control.
•Saw wood only. Do not use the pole saw for
work for which it is not designed. Example: Do
not use the pole saw for sawing plastic, masonry or
building materials which are not made of wood. If
the pole saw is not used as intended, this may
result in hazardous situations.
Safety Warnings for Battery Pack
1. Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery packs.
2. Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When the 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.
3. Do not expose the battery pack to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
4. Do not subject the battery pack to
mechanical shock.
5. In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice.
6. Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
7. Keep the battery pack clean and dry.
8. Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
9. Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
10. Do not maintain the battery pack on charge
when not in use.
11. After extended periods of storage, it may be
necessary to charge and discharge the battery
pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
