V. 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
a fire.
4.
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.
5.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may cause
explosion.
7.
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.
VI. Service
1.
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.
2.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
VII. Pole saw safety
1.
Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the pole-mounted pruner is
operating. Before you start the pole-mounted
pruner, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention
while operating the pole-mounted pruner may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the saw chain.
2.
Always use two hands when operating the
pole‑ ‑ ‑ mounted pruner. Hold the pole-mounted
pruner with both hands to avoid loss of control.
3.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use
the pole-mounted pruner near any electrical
power lines. Contact with or use near power
lines may cause serious injury or electric shock
resulting in death.
4.
Hold the pole-mounted pruner 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 pole-mounted pruner "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
5.
Wear eye and ear protection. Further
protective equipment for hands and
slip-resistant footwear is recommended.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce the
risk of personal injury.
6.
Always use head protection when operating
the pole-mounted pruner overhead. Falling
debris can result in serious personal injury.
7.
Always keep proper footing and operate the
pole-mounted pruner only when standing on
fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or
unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance
or control of the machine.
8.
Do not operate a pole-mounted pruner in
a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any
unstable support. Operation of a pole-mounted
pruner in this manner may result in loss of
balance, loss of control and personal injury.
9.
Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be
hidden in trees and can be accidentally cut by
the saw chain.
10.
Do not use the pole-mounted pruner in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is
a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of
being struck by lightning.
11.
When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert for spring back. When the tension in
the wood fibers is released, the spring loaded
limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
pole-mounted pruner out of control.
