ASA 85

Watch out for tree stumps, roots and 
rocks which could cause you to stumble 
or fall.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a 
break in good time to avoid tiredness or 
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight 
conditions and only when visibility is 
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger 
others.
The power tool is operated by one-
person only. Do not allow any other 
persons in the work area.
Observe the blades – only cut in areas 
that you can see.
Be extremely careful when cutting dense 
rows of plants, check the other side 
before starting work.
To avoid the risk of electrocution, do not 
touch electric power lines – never cut 
through electric power lines.
When working at heights:
– Always use a lift bucket
– Never work on a ladder or in a tree
– Never work on an insecure support
Never hold a branch with your free hand 
directly next to the point you want to cut. 
Always maintain a distance of at least 
40 cm from the blades. Never touch the 
cutting blade. It is very sharp – risk of 
injury.
Be wary of flying or splintering material – 
wear safety glasses.
Clear away fallen branches, scrub and 
cuttings only when your cordless 
pruning shears are in the standby mode 
and fitted in the holster.
In the event of danger or an emergency, 
switch off your power tool immediately 
and disconnect the connecting cord.
If your power tool is subjected to 
unusually high loads for which it was not 
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall), 
always check that it is in good condition 
before continuing work – see also 
"Before Starting Work". Make sure the 
safety devices are working properly. Do 
not continue using a power tool that is 
not in a safe operating condition. In case 
of doubt, consult your servicing dealer.
After Finishing Work / Storing
When the power tool is not in use, put it 
in a place where it does not endanger 
others. Secure it against unauthorized 
use.
– Always close the cutting blade, i.e. 
standby mode.
– Move switch on controller to OFF.
– Disconnect the connecting cord 
from the power tool.
– Put your cordless pruning shears in 
the holster.
– Remove the battery.
Vibrations
This power tool minimizes the vibrations 
transmitted to the operator's hands.
However, the operator should seek 
medical advice in the event of suspected 
circulatory problems in the hands (e.g. 
tingling sensation in the fingers). 
Maintenance and Repairs
Before performing any repairs, cleaning 
or maintenance work:
– Always close the cutting blade, i.e. 
standby mode.
– Move switch on controller to OFF.
– Disconnect the connecting cord 
from the power tool.
This avoids the risk of the cutting blade 
closing unintentionally.
Service the power tool regularly. Do not 
attempt any maintenance or repair work 
not described in the instruction manual. 
Have all other work performed by a 
servicing dealer.
Only use high-quality replacement parts 
in order to avoid the risk of accidents 
and damage to your cordless pruning 
shears. If you have any questions in this 
respect, consult a servicing dealer.
Check the electrical contacts and ensure 
that the insulation of the connecting 
cords and plug of the charger show no 
sign of aging (brittleness).
To reduce the risk of serious injury, have 
work on the charger (e.g. replacing the 
connecting cord) performed only by an 
authorized servicing dealer or qualified 
electrician.
Observe sharpening instructions – keep 
the blades in good condition at all times 
to ensure safe and proper operation.
To reduce the risk of injury in the event 
of a malfunction, switch off the power 
tool immediately, disconnect the 
connecting cord and remove the battery.
