m CAUTION:
- Always slide the rechargeable battery in all the way
to the stop. Otherwise it may fall out of the machine
and injure you or bystanders.
- Do not use force when attaching the rechargeable
battery. If the rechargeable battery does not slide in
smoothly, it is not aligned correctly.
Lithium-ion batteries are equipped with a protection
system. This system automatically disconnects the tool
from the power supply to extend the service of life of
the battery. The product will automatically stop during
operation if the product and/or rechargeable battery
are subjected to any of the following conditions:
• Overloaded:The product is operated in such a way
that it draws an abnormally high current. In this case,
release the ON/OFF switch on the product and stop
the work that has overloaded the tool. To restart,
press the on/off switch again. If the product does not
start, the rechargeable battery has overheated. In
this case, let the battery cool down, before trying to
start the device again.
• Low battery voltageThe remaining rechargeable
battery capacity is too low and the product does not
work. In this case, remove the battery and charge it.

• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire must
be removed from the tree.

slopes.
• In order to maintain full control at the moment of cut-
ting 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

the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the
pruning saw to stop before removing the pruning

derside of the bar (with a pulling chain).

er object during or after sawing.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not become jammed
in the saw cut. The branch must not break or splinter.
