- Always remove the battery from the device when the device is not in use or during cleaning and maintenance.
- Children must not play with the device.
- Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by children.
Cutting hazard.
- When the device is running, always keep your hands away from the blades.
- Do not use the pruner if it could not operate or shut down properly, send for servicing immediately.
- It is dangerous to use the pruner when the tool could not operate or shut down properly.
- Ensure the power pruner is powered off during any adjustments, changing accessories or storage. This protective measure aims to reduce the risk of accidental pruner activation.
- Ensure the blades are closed when not in use. Storage of the pruner must be kept out of reach from children. Do not allow any person who is not familiar with the pruner operation or instruction to use the pruner, it is dangerous to use the pruner without proper training and understanding.
Electrocution hazard.
- The device must always be switched off and disconnected from the battery before it is cleaned.
- There is a risk of a short-circuit due to liquid penetrating the housing. Do not immerse the product and the accessories in water. And make sure that no water or other liquid can enter the housing.
- Never touch the device or the charger cable with wet hands.
- Do not use the device if it is damaged.
- Do not pull the charger cable to remove the plug from the socket. Always grasp the plug and pull it.
- Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
- Only charge the battery with the charger supplied.
- Do not splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may cause premature cell failure.
- When transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
- Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Take the charger to an authorized service centre for a check or repair.
- To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the charger from the power supply before attempting to clean it. Removing the battery pack alone does not reduce the risk.
- The charger is designed for use from a standard household electrical supply. Do not attempt to connect the charger to a supply with a different voltage.
- Never attempt to connect two chargers together.
- Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning.
- This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

Fire hazard.
- Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
- Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket or toolbox or any other place where it may come into contact with metal objects. The battery pack may be short circuited causing damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire. If storing or disposing the battery pack, cover the terminals with a heavy insulation tape to ensure short circuit cannot occur. Batteries, when stored for a long period of time, will discharge.
- Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 40°C such as alongside sheds or metal structures in the summer.
- Allow the battery pack to cool down after charging. Do not place it in a hot environment such as a metal shed or open trailer left in the sun.
- Do not put the battery pack near fire or high temperature position.
- The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
- The charger is not intended for any use other than charging the exact type of rechargeable battery pack as supplied with the charger. Any other use may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
- Do not place any object on top of the charger as it could cause overheating. Do not place the charger near any heat source.
- Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. The use of an improper extension cord could cause the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
- Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an authorized service centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
- Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Health hazard.
- A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur under extreme usage or temperature. This does not necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage comes into contact with your skin:
- The battery is to be disposed of safely.
– Wash the affected area quickly with soap and water.
– Flush your eyes with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
