.

  The operator should concentrate on the work being performed and be careful to maintain bal-
  anced working position.
  Work in a clean, uncluttered area. Keep persons away from immediate work area.

  Inspect the blades before each use. Do not use damaged blades. 

  Damaged blades can break and cause injury or damage to the tool.

  Before each use, verify the integrity of the tool; replace any worn, possibly damaged or missing

  parts with original

 spares. 

  Wear eye protection. Metal chips can fl y from blades when cutting.
  Pay attention when cutting short, free pieces of steel rod or rope as they may fl y off  dangerously, 

  causing injury to the operator or persons nearby.

  Do not cut live cables or conductors.
  The tool is unsuitable for continuous use and should be allowed to cool down following uninter-

  rupted, successive cutting operations; for instance, having exhausted a fully charged battery in 
  one session, delay battery replacement for a few minutes.

  Protect the tool from rain and moisture. Water will damage the tool and battery. Electro-hydraulic 

  tools should not be operated in pouring rain.
