GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Do not operate near electrical power lines. The unit has not been designed to provide protection from electric shock in the event of contact with overhead electric lines, Consult local regulations for safe distances from overhead electric power lines and ensure that the operating position is safe and secure before operating the saw chain pole pruner.

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your battery operated (cordless) power tool.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

• Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t use appliances in damp or wet locations.

• Don’t Use In Rain.

• Keep Children Away – All visitors should be kept at a distance from work area.

• Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
  They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Use Safety Glasses – Always use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.

• Use Right Appliance – Do not use appliance for any job except that for which it is intended.

• Avoid Unintentional Starting – Don’t carry plugged-in appliance with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Don’t grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the appliance. (For grass shears and similar appliances only.)

• Don’t Force Appliance – It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed.

• Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate appliance when you are tired.

• Disconnect Appliance – Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not in use, before servicing, when changing accessories such as blades, and the like.

• Store Idle Appliances Indoors – When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or locked-up place – out of reach of children.

• Maintain Appliance With Care – Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect appliance cord periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

• Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. Saw chain continues to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the pole saw may result in serious personal injury.

• Carry the pole saw by the handle with the saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing the pole saw, always fit the saw chain device cover. Proper handling of the pole saw will reduce possible personal injury from the saw chain.

• Hold the pole saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the pole saw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.

• Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any electrical power lines. Contact with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.

• Always use two hands when operating the pole saw. Hold the pole saw with both hands to avoid loss of control.

• Always use head protection when operating the pole saw overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal injury.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the power switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the power switch or energizing appliance that have the power switch on invites accidents.

• Make sure the power switch is off and the battery pack is removed before clearing jammed material, making adjustments, changing accessories, storing or servicing the appliance. Unexpected actuation of the appliance while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.

•  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 appliances 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 irritation or burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion. The temperature of 130°C can be replaced by the temperature of 265°F.
