the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should
only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
National regulation can restrict the use of the lopper.
Daily inspect before use and after dropping or other impacts in order to identify
any significant damage or defects.
1.2.2 Lopper safety warnings:
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when blade is moving. Blades con-
tinue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while
operating the lopper may result in serious personal injury.
b) Carry the lopper by the handle with the blade stopped and taking care
not to operate any power switch. Proper carrying of the lopper will decrease
the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from the blades.
c) When transporting or storing the lopper, always fit the blade cover.
Proper handling of the lopper will decrease the risk of personal injury from the
blades.
d) When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all
power switches are off and the battery pack is removed or disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the lopper while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
e) When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure all
power switches are off and the lock-off is in the locked position.
Unexpected actuation of the lopper while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
f) Hold the lopper by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the blade
may contact hidden wiring.
Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the lopper "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
g) Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area.
Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.
h) Do not use the lopper in bad weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
1.2.3 Extended-reach lopper safety warnings:
a) To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the extended-reach lop-
per near any electrical power lines. Contact with or use near power lines may
cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
b) Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach lopper.
Hold the extended-reach lopper with both hands to avoid loss of control.
c) Always use head protection when operating the extended-reach
lopper overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal injury.
v Search hedges and bushes for hidden objects (e.g. wire fences and hidden
wires).
v Use a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA or less.
v Hold the lopper with both hands on both handles.
v When in use, stand on the floor and not on a ladder or other unstable surface.
v Before using the lopper, make sure that the locking devices of all moving
parts (e.g. the extended shaft and the pivot element) are in the locked position.
