Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instruc-tions for future reference. The term "power
tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1.WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2.ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
9
Page 10
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
•
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the power tool in the rain,
where water is splashing, in a wet
place, or in a damp place. Using the tool
in these or similar conditions will increase
the risk of electric shock, dangerous malfunction, and overheating. If operating a
power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection, hand protector used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in a
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4.POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
10
Page 11
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for oper-
ations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERY
PACKS/BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR WATER. Battery packs/batteries should be
collected, recycled or disposed of in an environmental-friendly manner.
• PROTECT THE BATTERY AGAINST
HEAT, ALSO AGAINST CONTINUOUS
SUN IRRADIATION AND FIRE. There is
danger of explosion.
•
DO NOT DISPOSE OF POWER TOOLS
INTO HOUSEHOLD WASTE.
According to
the European Guideline 2002/96/EC for
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
and its implementation into national right,
power tools that are no longer usable must
be collected separately and disposed of in
an environmentally correct manner.
• The MAX battery pack uses a Li-ion battery, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste system.
Check with your local solid waste officials
for details in your area for recycling options
or proper disposal.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
type of battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals to-
gether may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK IN A
TEMPERATURE RANGE 5°C (41°F) TO
40°C (104°F)

6.HOW TO REPLACE BLADES
WARNING
• When replacing the blades, be sure to
turn off the power switch of the control
box with the blades open, and disconnect the connecting cable from both the
control box and the machine.
• When replacing the blades, be sure to
wear gloves.
CAUTION
• Avoid using the machine in a way in
which the motor protection function operates on a frequent basis.
This can cause the motor to heat up or experience other problem.
8.If a twig is caught in blades
If a twig is caught in the blades (cannot be cut by
the cutting action), release the trigger. Releasing
the trigger moves the blades in the opening direction.
If the twig is still caught in the blades after releasing the trigger, do not move the machine to the
sides but move it slowly in up and down with the
trigger released to free the twig from the blades.
To reuse the machine after removing the twig,
release the switch lever again. After that, the machine can be used as normal.
WARNING
• If the blades break and scatter, workers
may sustain injuries that lead to loss of
eyesight or other serious injuries.
(Fig.AN) Do not move the blades in a lateral direction since the trigger may break and
the blades may be crushed.
a: Correct usage method
b: Lateral movement during the cutting ac-
tion that can break the blades

7.MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
WARNING
• When inspecting or servicing, be sure to
turn off the switch of the control box and
disconnect the connecting cable from the
machine.
If you inspect or service the machine with the
connecting cable connected, an unexpected
accident may occur.
1 How to maintain blades
(Fig.BE) After working, remove dirt from both
sides of the blades using a hard brush and wipe
them with wet cloth for storage.
If the blades are not maintained, the friction of
the blades will increase and the usage time after
one charge is shortened.
The lives of the blades will also be shortened.
2 How to sharpen blades
(Fig.BF) How to sharpen upper blade
Match the flat side of the grindstone to the angle
of the blade edge, press it in the direction of the
arrow and sharpen the entire blade edge.
CAUTION
• (Fig.BG) Do not sharpen the lower
blade.
CAUTION
• (Fig.BH) Do not sharpen the reverse
side of the blade.
After carrying out the above process, connect
the machine to the control box and check its operation.
If the upper and lower blades are operating correctly, the replacement work is completed.
If the blades do not operate correctly, remove
and install them again according to the procedure in "HOW TO REPLACE BLADES" (P 23). If
the machine still does not operate correctly, return it to your dealer for inspection or repair.
3 How to apply grease
Apply grease to the shaft at the rate of once
a month or so.
(Fig.BI) Apply the grease evenly to the shaft
and grease sump.
For information about how to remove the
shaft, see "HOW TO REPLACE BLADES",
Step 1 and 2 (P 23).

4 Cautions when not using the machine for
long periods
When not using the machine for long periods, remove the battery pack from the control box and charge it fully. Fit the pack cap
to the battery pack, and store the machine in
a dry location where it will not be affected by
high temperatures.
The battery pack will discharge even if it is
not used, although at a very slow rate. If the
battery is kept at a low charge level for a long
period, it will become unusable.
Even if you do not use the machine for a long
period, charge the battery once every six
months or so.
5 Never modify or carry out repair work on
this machine
If this machine is modified, it will not operate
optimally and may become a safety risk.
Therefore, do not modify it under any circumstances.
6 Periodic inspection of the machine
To maintain the machine's performance, carry out cleaning and inspection.
