4. Proper use

The cordless pruning saw is designed for sawing wood
only. This pruning saw is not suitable for felling trees.
The product is not intended for any other types of appli-
cation (e.g. cutting masonry, plastic or food).
The machine may only be used in the intended manner.
Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not
the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or injuries
of any type resulting from this. An element of the intend-
ed use is also the observance of the safety instructions,
as well as the assembly instructions and operating infor-
mation in the operating manual. Persons who operate
and maintain the machine must be familiar with it and
must be informed about potential dangers. In addition,
the applicable accident prevention regulations must be
strictly observed. Other general occupational health and
safety-related rules and regulations must be observed.
The liability of the manufacturer and resulting damages
are excluded in the event of modifications of the machine.
The machine may only be operated with original parts
and original accessories from the manufacturer.
The safety, operating and maintenance specifications of
the manufacturer, as well as the dimensions specified in
the technical data, must be observed.
Please note that our products were not designed with the
intention of use for commercial or industrial purposes. We
assume no guarantee if the product is used in commercial
or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.
The product is intended for use by adults. Children
under the age of 16 may only use the product when
supervised. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
caused by improper use or incorrect operation.
Using the pruning saw for work other than that for which
it is intended may result in serious injury to the user or
other persons. Any other use not expressly permitted
in this operating manual may result in damage to the
product and pose a serious danger to the user.
The cordless pruning saw must be held with the right
hand on the handle and with the left hand on the grip-
ping surface. Before using the pruning saw, the user
must have read and understood all the information

5. General safety instructions

m WARNING - Read all safety information, instruc-
tions, illustrations and technical data for this elec-
tric tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may re-
sult in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save
all warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions refers
to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains cable)
and battery-powered electrical tools (without a mains
cable).
m ATTENTION! A pruning saw is a dangerous product
that can cause serious or even fatal injuries if used in-
correctly or carelessly. Therefore, for your safety and
the safety of others, always observe the following safe-
ty instructions and ask a specialist for advice if you are
unsure.
Work area safety
1. Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.

Electrical safety

1. The connection plug of the electric tool must fit into
the socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, such as
pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
