c) Always stand above the tree trunk when sawing on
slopes. In order to maintain full control at the moment
of cutting all the way through, reduce the pressing
force towards the end of the cut, without loosening
your firm grip of the handles of the pruning saw.
Ensure that the saw chain does not come into con-
tact with the ground. After completing the cut, wait
for the pruning saw to stop before removing the
pruning saw. Always switch off the motor of the
cordless pruning saw and remove the battery be-
fore moving from tree to tree.
d) Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire
must be removed from the tree.
e) Do not use accessories that are not recommend-
ed by the manufacturer. This can lead to electric
shock or fire.
Careful handling and use of rechargeable tools
• Only charge the rechargeable batteries in charg-
ing units recommended by the manufacturer. A
charging unit that is suitable for a particular type of
rechargeable battery poses a fire hazard when used
with other rechargeable batteries.
• Only use the rechargeable batteries in power
tools that are designed for them. The use of other
rechargeable batteries can lead to injuries and a risk
of fire.
• Keep the unused rechargeable battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects that could cause a
short-circuit between the contacts. A short-cir-
cuit between the contacts of the rechargeable bat-
tery could result in burns or fires.
• Liquid may leak from the rechargeable battery if
used incorrectly. Avoid contact with it. In case
of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liq-
uid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical
attention. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin
irritation or burns.
• Make sure the device is switched off before
inserting the rechargeable battery. Inserting
a rechargeable battery into an electric tool that is
switched on can cause accidents.
• Only charge your batteries indoors because the
charging unit is only intended for this purpose.
Danger due to electric shock.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the
charging unit from the wall socket before clean-
ing.
• Do not expose the rechargeable battery to
strong sunlight for a long time and do not place
it on radiators. Heat damages the rechargeable
battery and there is a risk of explosion.
• Allow a heated rechargeable battery to cool
down before charging.
• Do not open the rechargeable battery and avoid
mechanical damage to the rechargeable battery.
There is a risk of short-circuiting and vapours may
escape that irritate the respiratory tract. Make sure
you get fresh air and seek additional medical help if
you have any complaints.
• Do not use batteries that are not rechargeable.
The device could be damaged.
• Be careful and keep other people and animals out
of the work area and at least 2.5 meters away from
the object.
Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state-of-
the-art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety In-
structions" and the "Intended Use" together with the
operating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the oper-
ating button may not be pressed when inserting the
battery. Use the tool attachment that is recommend-
ed in this operating manual. This is how to ensure
that your machine provides optimum performance.
• Keep your hands away from the working area when
the machine is in operation.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the
design and construction of this power tool:
• Cuts
• Hearing damage if suitable hearing protection is not
worn.
• Damage to health resulting from hand/arm vibration
if the device is used over an extended period of time
or if it is not properly operated and maintained.
