different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Battery tool use and care • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns. Service • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Pole pruner safety warnings - personal safety • Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when using the pole pruner. Before you start the pole pruner, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating pole pruners may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain. • Always hold the pole pruner with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done. • Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the pole pruner "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. • Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain. • Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the pole pruner. • When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released, the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the pole pruner out of control. • Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the pole pruner and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. • Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback. • Carry the pole pruner by the front handle with the pole pruner switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the pole pruner, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pole pruner will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain. • Cut wood only. Do not use pole pruner for purposes not intended. For example: do not use pole pruner for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the pole pruner for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation. • Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control. • Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding of the risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders while felling a tree. • This pole pruner is not intended for tree felling.Use of the pole pruner for operations different than intended could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders. • We strongly recommend that first time users practice sawing logs on a saw horse or cradle.
