1. Safety Instructions
Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating this electric pruning shears. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
General Safety
- 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.
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.
- 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. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
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 connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
- The electric pruning shears have very sharp blades. Keep hands and body parts away from the cutting area.
