pruners
The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do
not use the tool for purposes not intended; for example do
not use the tool to fell trees. The use of any accessory or
attachment or performance of any operation with this tool
other than those recommended in this instruction manual may
present a risk of personal injury.
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.
safety helmet with visor/goggles, ear protectors, non-skid
safety footwear, protective bib trousers and strong leather
gloves.
Always position yourself out of the path of falling
branches.
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.
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling trees or branches. Ensure
the exit route is clear of obstacles that would prevent or
hinder movement. Remember wet grass and freshly cut
bark is slippery.
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in
case of an accident.
Do not use the tool while standing in a tree, on a ladder or
on any other unstable surface.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Do not let the moving chain contact any object at the tip
of the guide bar.
Start cutting only with the chain moving at full speed.
Do not attempt to enter a previous cut. Always make a
fresh cut.
Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could
close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.
Do not attempt to cut a branch when the diameter of the
branch exceeds the cutting length of the tool.
Always remove the battery from the tool and place the
chain cover over the chain when storing or transporting
the tool.
Keep the saw chain sharp and properly tensioned. Check
the tension at regular intervals.
