Important Safety Information

Please read all instructions carefully before use and retain for future reference.

General Precautions: This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless supervised and given appropriate instruction regarding the correct use of the tool by a person responsible for their safety. This tool is not a toy. Keep away from children and animals. Children and pets should be supervised to ensure they are kept away from the work area. Never use hand tools as power tool accessories. Do not combine the use of a power tool with a manual tool unless specified, as doing so can cause serious personal injury. Do not use the tool for anything other than its intended use. Always secure your workpiece; smaller workpieces should be secured using a vice or clamp during use.

Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not use tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Use of some tools can create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away whilst using the tool. Distractions can cause loss of control. Shut off any live electrical equipment around your work area before commencing work with any non-insulated tool. Only use insulated tools and tools with appropriate IEC/VDE for working on live electrical applications.

Before Use: Do not use hand tools whilst tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention whilst using tools may result in serious personal injury. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection ?️. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, safety gloves, or hearing protection, used for appropriate conditions, will reduce the risk of personal injury. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothes, jewellery, or long hair can become caught in moving parts. It is recommended to fully sharpen tools before first use (where applicable). Become familiar with the tool. Practice use on scrap material until you are familiar with the correct handling, use, and limitations. If devices are provided for dust extraction and collection, ensure they are connected and properly used, as this can reduce dust-related hazards.

Important Safety Information for Use: Use the tool, accessories, and tool bits in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when using the tool. Beware of sharp edges ⚠️. Handle sharp-edged and pointed tools with care. Ensure sharp-edged and pointed tools are kept sharp, as this will make them easier to control. Always cut away from yourself when using cutting or sharp-edged tools. Always carry sharp-edged and pointed tools by your side with the point and heavy ends pointing downwards. Do not force the tool. Always use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This will enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Always use the correct type of tool for the type of material being worked on.

Note: The above list is non-exhaustive and is recommended as a basic level of protection for general tasks. Before starting any task, refer to your local hardware store or a professional for advice on which safety equipment would be best suited to the task at hand.

Usage Instructions

How to Extend and Retract the Pole

To extend the pole, apply pressure to the clasps and pull apart. To retract the pole, press down on the clasps and pull the pole inwards so both clasps meet to fully retract the tree pruner.

For best results, keep the pole length at the minimum required to cut branches. This will ensure a lower center of gravity and an easier cut.

How to Cut Branches

For best results, use the lopper function on branches up to 40mm thick. For larger branches, use the main saw function.

Diagram Description: A close-up view of the pruner head shows a maximum cutting capacity indicator of 'Max cut 40mm'.

Maintenance & Repair

• Wipe with a dry cloth after use to prevent rusting.
• Keep in a dry place to avoid rusting.
• Apply blade oil and lubricants to the lopper blades to avoid corrosion.

Attention!

• Do not stand directly under branches being cut.
• Wear eye protection ?️.
• Wear protective gloves ✋.
