2.2.3

Clothing and equipment

• Always wear adequate and suitable safety clothing for the work to be carried out. Make sure that your clothes are
tight fitting to the body. Avoid wearing neckties, necklaces, belts or long hair not tied as they can be caught be-
tween the moving parts. Use non-slip shoes, heavy-duty gloves,
protective goggles or a visor, safety footwear and noise-abatement earmuffs.
2.2.4

Workplace safety

• Only use the tool in good visibility conditions. A dimly lit working area may cause accidents. Do not perform cuts in
poor light conditions, like in the dark in closed or open environments, at night, at dusk, at dawn or with dust or sand
in the air impeding clear visibility below 2 metres. Place the product at a distance of 2 metres and check if you are
able to clearly read the labels.
• Do not use the tool in an explosive, flammable or damp environment.
• Keep children, observers or animals at a safe distance before activating the tool in order to avoid hazards or inju-
ries. When determining the safety distance, evaluate the risk of branches being flung towards persons, objects or
animals. The appropriate safety distance in normal tension conditions is 5 metres from the end of the branches.
2.2.5

Electrical safety

• Before, during and/or after use, do not expose the tool to damp environments, water or any other humid conditions,
in order to prevent electric shocks or short circuits.
• Keep the tool away from heat sources, oil, solvents, sharp edges or moving parts.
• Do not expose the tool to rain. Keep it in a dry place.
• Liquid leaking from the battery pack can harm the operator. Do not touch any liquid from the battery pack. In case of
contact, rinse immediately with clean water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with
clean water and immediately seek medical attention.
CAUTION!
Read the following instructions carefully. Failure to do so can result in electric shock, fire or serious damage.
