During Operation

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries to the operator or bystanders, keep hands, feet and other parts of the body away from the saw chain, @ 6.5.2. Do not touch the saw chain while the battery is inserted into the garden pruner. Never touch the rotating saw chain with your hand or any part of your body.

After Finishing Work

To reduce the risk of personal injury from unintended activation or unauthorized use, switch off the garden pruner and remove the battery before transporting the garden pruner or putting it down. To reduce the risk of injuries from the sharp cutters on the chain, always cover the guide bar with the chain scabbard before transporting or storing the garden pruner.

Transporting the Garden Pruner, Battery and Charger

Slide a chain scabbard over the guide bar so that it covers the entire guide bar.

When transporting the garden pruner by hand, hold it by the control handle with the guide bar pointing down and your finger off the trigger switch.

When transporting the garden pruner in a vehicle, cover the guide bar with a chain scabbard and insert the garden pruner securely in the carrying bag (if available). Secure and position the garden pruner to prevent turnover, impact and damage.

Storing the Garden Pruner, Battery and Charger

Store the garden pruner indoors in a dry, secure place that cannot be accessed by children or other unauthorized users, @ 6.4. Never store the battery in the garden pruner or charger. Improper storage can result in unauthorized use and damage to the garden pruner.
