worn out. The batteries can exploded in a fire. You should return it to a local battery collection point
in accordance with Battery Regulations.
i)
Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use.
This will reduce the risk of
electric shock or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the opening.
j)
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a 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.
k)
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage, charging
or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However, If the outer seal is broken
and this leakage gets on your skin:
---wash quickly with soap and water.
---Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
---If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes
and seek immediate medical attention.
Electrical Safety of Tool and Charger (continued)
Safety Information
Electrical Safety of Tool and Charger
a)
Beware of overhead power lines.
To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate within
10 feet (3m) of overhead electrical lines. Failure to do this could result in server personal injury.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord of charger. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
To reduce the risk of injury, use only the supplied charger when charging the tool.
And
charge only the designated batteries, other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and
damage.
f)
Make sure charger cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
g)
The charger is designed to use standard household 230-240volt 50Hz power.
The charger’s
plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
h)
DO NOT
incinerate the tool or battery packs even if they are severely damaged or completely
Personal Safety
a)
Use personal protective equipment(PPE).
Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
b)
Dress appropriately.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as these can be caught in moving
parts. Preferably wear non-slip footwear when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
keep long hair out of the way.
c)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
d)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
e)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
f)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times
. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
g)
Always wear shoulder strap for increased safety and to support the tool.
a)
Be certain the parts are fully tightened before operating the tool.
Check it periodically for
tightness during use to avoid serious injury.
b)
The battery is not fully charged at the factory
. Before attempting to use it ,it must be fully
charged firstly.
c)
The battery should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which
were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE
using product with its battery in a depleted
condition.
d)
While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch.
This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
e)
To prolong battery life,
avoid leaving the battery on charge for extended periods of time.
f)
Grip the tool securely.
Operator should one hand on the pole, the other on the handle. Keep
finger off the trigger until ready to use.
g)
Keep handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease
. Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
h)
Plan the cut carefully.
Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall. Cut the lower
branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.
i)
Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
Branches or limbs may fall in
unexpected directions.
j)
Remove long branches in several stages.
