- Work Area: Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Keep bystanders, children, and pets away while operating the tool.
- Electrical Safety: Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
- Tool Care: Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
- Battery Safety: Use only the specified battery pack. Do not charge batteries in damp or wet locations. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged.
- Avoid Overreaching: Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach.
- Secure Workpiece: Always ensure the branch or material being cut is stable and will not fall unexpectedly.
Setup and Assembly
1. Battery Charging and Installation
The kit includes two 20V 3.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries. Ensure batteries are fully charged before first use.
- Connect the charger to a power outlet.
- Insert the battery into the charger. The indicator light will show charging status.
- Once fully charged, remove the battery from the charger.
- To install, slide the charged battery into the battery slot on the tool handle until it clicks into place.
- To remove, press the battery release button and slide the battery out.
2. Telescopic Pole Assembly
The 4-section telescopic pole offers adjustable lengths of 1m, 1.57m, and 2m, providing a maximum working height of 4.16m when combined with the tool head.
- Connect the pole sections by aligning the connectors and twisting until secure.
- To adjust the length, unlock the quick-release clamps on each section, extend or retract to the desired length, and securely lock the clamps.
3. Attaching Tool Heads (Pruning Shears / Mini Chainsaw)
The kit allows for quick interchangeability between the pruning shears and the mini chainsaw head.
- Ensure the battery is removed from the tool handle before attaching or detaching heads.
- Align the connector on the desired tool head (pruning shears or mini chainsaw) with the connector on the telescopic pole or direct handle.
- Push firmly and twist until the head is securely locked in place.
- To detach, reverse the process, ensuring any locking mechanisms are disengaged first.

Operating Instructions
1. General Operation
- Once the battery is installed and the desired head is attached, press the power button to activate the tool.
- Always ensure a firm grip on the handle(s).
- For pole operation, maintain balance and keep the pole stable.
2. Using the 25mm Cordless Pruning Shears
These battery-powered pruning shears feature a brushless motor and SK5 steel blades, capable of cutting branches up to 30mm in diameter. An LCD display shows the number of cuts and battery charge level.
- Ensure the safety lock is disengaged.
- Position the blades around the branch to be cut.
- Press the trigger to activate the cutting action. Release the trigger to open the blades.
- Monitor the LCD display for battery status and cut count.

3. Using the 6-inch Mini Chainsaw
The 6-inch mini chainsaw reaches 10 m/s at 3000 RPM, ideal for branches up to 15 cm in diameter. It features an automatic lubrication system to extend chain life and tool-free installation.
- Before use, ensure the chain is properly tensioned and the oil reservoir for automatic lubrication is filled (if applicable).
- Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands (if handheld) or securely with the pole.
- Engage the safety lock, then press the trigger to start the chain.
- Allow the chain to reach full speed before making contact with the branch.
- Apply light pressure and let the saw do the work. Avoid forcing the cut.

4. Adjusting the Angle
The tool head can be adjusted up to 180 degrees, allowing for versatile cutting angles, especially useful with the telescopic pole.
- Locate the adjusting button or lever on the tool head connection point.
- Press the button/lever and rotate the head to the desired angle (e.g., 45°, 90°, 180°).
- Release the button/lever to lock the head securely in place before operation.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Yofidra pruning kit.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the tool heads, especially the blades of the pruning shears and the chain/bar of the chainsaw, to remove sap, debris, and dust. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
- Pruning Shears Blades: Keep the blades sharp and clean. Periodically apply a light oil to the blades to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
- Chainsaw Chain: Regularly check the chain tension. A loose chain can derail or cause poor cutting performance. Ensure the automatic lubrication system is functioning and the oil reservoir is filled with appropriate chain oil. Sharpen the chain as needed or replace it when worn.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods. Charge them periodically if not in use.
- Storage: Store the tool and its components in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children.
