finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
• The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared total value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
Operators should identify safety measures to protect
themselves that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger).
Power tool use and care
• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack 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.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools. 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• 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
• 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.
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated 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
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.
• 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 irritations
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.
Pole pruner safety warnings - personal
safety
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when using the pole pruner. Before you
start the pole pruner, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting anything. A moment of inattention
while operating pole pruners may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
• Always hold the pole pruner with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
• Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the pole pruner "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended. Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury from flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
