3. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF position before connecting to the power source/
battery charger, or before picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
charging power tools with the switch ON can lead to
accidents.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Dangling articles such as these can become caught in
moving parts. Using work gloves and substantial footwear
is recommended when working outdoors. Wear
a protective hair covering to contain long hair.
6. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1. Do not force the appliance. It will do the job better with
less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it
was designed.
2. Use the right appliance. Do not use the appliance for any
job except that for which it is intended.
3. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the power tool. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
5. Store idle appliances indoors. When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high or
locked-up place out of the reach of children.
6. Maintain appliance with care. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
7. Keep cutting blades sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting blades with sharp edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
8. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular use of the power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Using the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
9. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blade.
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. A moment of inattention while
operating the product may result in serious personal injury.
10. Carry the product by the handle with the cutting blade
stopped. When transporting or storing the product always
fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the product
will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.

Battery Safety Warnings
This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for your battery and charger.
1. Before using, always check the charger, cable and
plug. If defects are detected, do not use the charger;
never open the charger. Thoroughly read all instructions
and cautionary markings on the manual, the charger,
and the cordless pruner.
m
WARNING!
If the cordless pruner housing is cracked or
damaged, do not insert the charging adapter into the power
tool or plug the power tool into the mains outlet. There is a
danger of electric shock or electrocution.
2. Protect the battery charger from rain and moisture.
Water penetration in a battery charger increases the risk
of electric shock.
3. Only use the included battery for this unit.
4. Do not open or modify the battery. Release electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to eyes and skin.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
5. Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination may
increase the risk of electric shock.
6. Do not short circuit. A battery pack will short circuit if a
metal object makes a connection between the positive
and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a
battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit,
such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other
metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a
risk of fire and severe personal injury.
7. This charger is ONLY intended to charge the rechargeable
battery inside of the cordless pruner. Any other use poses
a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
8. Do not place any object on top of the charger or place
the charger on a soft surface that may result in excessive
internal heat. Keep the charger away from any heat
source.
9. To reduce the risk of damaging the electric plug and
cord, pull the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the
charger from the electric outlet.
