Precautions for use and safety
Before starting the working day, make sure the battery is fully charged (3 LEDs lit on the
pruning shears).
Always disconnect the pruning shears from the power cord during handling other than
pruning and ALWAYS WHEN SHARPENING, EDGING OR LUBRICATING THEM.
Check that the blade is correctly tightened every morning (see page 31).
Do not leave the pruning shears and/or the battery on the ground, and do not expose them
to bad weather conditions.
Make sure the battery’s protective plastic casing is not cracked and does not seem to have
suffered impacts or other aggressions.
When working, it is normal for the battery temperature to rise (as well as when charging).
Recommended operating temperature: 25 to 95°F. Use outside this temperature range may
reduce tool performance.
In wet weather, it is imperative to carry the battery under waterproof clothing to keep it
protected from the rain.
After using the tool in the rain or in a damp environment, it is strongly recommended to
store the (disconnected) device outside its case in a heated and ventilated place.
Always keep the cord away from the cutting zone.
Use
Always keep your hands away from the cutting head when the device is
powered on.
Adjustable blade opening
The pruning shears are equipped with an adjustable blade opening switch which you can
use to reduce blade opening by approximately 50 %. The adjusted blade opening position
can be set to your needs (see pages 18 and 19).
1. To move the blade to the adjustable opening
position, press the adjustable blade opening
switch.
2. Press the trigger until the blade closes.
3. When it reopens, the blade will be in the
adjustable open position.
