OPERATION

OPERATING THE PRUNER

DANGER:

Never cut near electric cords or lines. If blade jams on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the pruner by the handle or lay it down and away from you in a safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service to the damaged line or cord before attempting to free the blade from the line or cord. Contact with the blade, other conductive parts of the pruner, or live electric cords or lines will result in death by electrocution or serious injury.

WARNING:

Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string which can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Read the safety information for safe operation using the

blade. Extreme care must be taken when using blades to ensure safe operation. Refer to General Power Tool Safety Warnings and Pruner Safety Warnings.

CUTTING TIPS

nBe certain the blade is securely installed before inserting the battery pack. Check it periodically for tightness to avoid serious injury.

nWear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection. n Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.

Do not attempt to cut limbs, stems or twigs that are larger than 1-1/2 in. thick, or those obviously too large to feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw, pruning saw, or chain saw to trim larger limbs or branches.

Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet and never use on a ladder, roof top, or other unstable support.

Never use the pruner near power lines, fencing, posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.

If the blade become jammed, release the switch trigger, allow the blade to stop, and remove the battery pack before attempting to free the blade.

n Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the switch trigger is depressed.

MAKING A CUT

See Figures 5 - 6.

WARNING:

Do not place your second (support) hand on the front housing under shoe assembly when operating the pruner two-handed. Keep the second hand on top of the pruner housing as illustrated in this operator’s manual. Placing your support hand on the front housing under the shoe assembly could cause it to slip into the blade, resulting in serious personal injury.

nHold the pruner firmly in front of and clearly away from you.

nMake sure blade is clean of any debris or foreign material.

nDepress the lock-out button, then pull switch trigger to start the cutting action.

nPlace the shoe assembly against the work, then move the blade into the work. Do not force.

nUse only enough pressure to keep the pruner cutting. Let the blade and tool do the work. Use of excessive pressure that causes bending or twisting of the blade may result in broken blades.

nThe pruner is designed for one-handed use. However, for operator comfort and preference, the pruner may be used two-handed by placing one hand lightly atop the pruner as shown.

nDo not hold the pruner with your hand on the underside of the tool, near the saw blade.
