SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Know your tool. Read and understand the operator’s manual and observe the warnings and instruction labels affixed to the tool.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this unit.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards when operating this unit.

Wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, jewelry of any kind, or go barefoot.

Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in any moving parts.

Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 feet away.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your appli- cation. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the pole pruner in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

Do not operate in poor lighting.

Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger- ous and must be repaired.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the at- tachment in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean- ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Fol- lowing this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

Tool service must be performed only by qualified re- pair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to fol- low Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
