rain. Keep work area well lighted.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle the
Pruner.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always
lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool to do the work of a larger industrial
tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. It will do the job better and more
safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a
purpose for which it was not intended.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts.
Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working.
Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
7. Use eye protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles and a full face shield to
protect you from falling branches.
8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool ropes periodically and, if damaged,
have them replaced by an authorized technician. The handle must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil
and grease at all times.
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.
11. Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA)
which can be toxic. When cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and
minimize skin contact.
12. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may
affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician.

15. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified
technician.
16. Use tools with both hands when required. Pruners require the use of both hands when operating.
This helps maintain tool stability and keeps hands away from the working area of the tool.
17. Cutting blade is extremely sharp. The Pruner Blade (#2) will cut through whatever is in its jaws.
Keep hands clear of cutting jaws.
18. Check surrounding area. Before cutting, check that no overhead wires are within reach of the pruner.

breakable objects.
