these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
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 grasing
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 specifi ed by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with
another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fi re.
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 fi re.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, fl ush 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
modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fi re, explosion or risk
of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fi re 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
specifi ed in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specifi ed range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fi re.

manufacturer or authorised service providers.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
Alligator™ Lopper.
Warning! Never use the tool above shoulder height. Always
position yourself out of the path of falling branches and debris.
Warning! Do not use this tool to fell trees.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and give the operator an electric shock.
Keep all parts of the body and clothing away from
the saw chain at all times. Before you start the tool,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating the tool may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain. Hold the tool in front of you and be aware of the
saw chain position especially when cutting branches near
the ground.
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches and debris.
Ensure the exit route is clear of obstacles that would
prevent or hinder movement. Remember wet grass and
freshly cut bark is slippery.
Be aware of the direction that a branch may fall.
Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall,
including:
T he intended direction of fall.
T he natural lean of the branch.
A ny unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
S urrounding trees and obstacles including overhead
lines.
T he wind speed and direction.
The safe distance between a branch to be felled and
bystanders, buildings and other objects is at least
2 1/2 times the length of the branch. Any bystander,
building or object within this distance is at risk from being
struck by the falling branch.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fi bres is
released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the tool out of control.
