2. Safety Instructions

Always observe basic safety precautions when using electrical tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

2.1 General Safety

• Read all instructions before using the tool.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.2 Electrical Safety

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Use only the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

2.3 Personal Safety

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, gloves, and sturdy footwear.
• 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.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before inserting battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Always keep hands away from the blades when the tool is powered on.

2. To Power Off: Press and hold the power switch again until the blades close and the LED display turns off. Always power off the tool when not in use or before performing any maintenance.

6.2 Pruning Operation

3. Press the trigger firmly to close the blades and make the cut. The blades will retract automatically after the cut is complete.
4. The LED display will show the remaining battery charge and the number of cuts made, allowing you to monitor your work progress and battery life.
5. For thicker branches, ensure the branch is seated deeply into the blades for a clean and efficient cut. Avoid forcing the tool.

6.3 Cutting Tips

• Make clean, precise cuts to promote healthy plant growth.
• Avoid cutting branches that exceed the maximum diameter to prevent damage to the tool and ensure safety.
• If the tool struggles with a branch, try rotating the pruner around the branch and cutting from different angles, or consider using a larger tool for very hard or thick wood.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pruning shears.

7.1 Cleaning the Blades

• After each use, especially after cutting resinous wood, clean the blades.
• Ensure the tool is powered off and the battery is removed before cleaning.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe off sap, dirt, and debris from the blades. For stubborn residue, a specialized blade cleaner or rubbing alcohol can be used.
• Dry the blades thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.

7.2 Lubrication

• Apply a few drops of the provided lubricating oil (or a suitable machine oil) to the pivot point and along the cutting edge of the blades periodically.
• This helps maintain smooth operation and prevents corrosion.

7.3 Battery Care and Storage

• Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• For long-term storage, charge batteries to about 50% capacity. Avoid storing fully charged or completely depleted batteries for extended periods.
• If storing for more than a month, recharge the batteries every 3-6 months to maintain their health.
