General Power Tool Safety Warnings –Working area safety. ◾ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. ◾ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, petrol or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. ◾ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical safety. ◾ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in anyway. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied 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. ◾ 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 or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase 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. ◾ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground-fault circuit interrupter protected supply. Use of GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. General Power Tool Safety Warnings – 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 inuence 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 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 nger 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 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 devices can reduce dust-related hazards. ◾ Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second. General Power Tool Safety Warnings –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.56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION TELESCOPIC POWER POLE — PPX10006

◾ 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 operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. ◾ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations. ◾ This 56V telescopic power pole PPX1000 may be used with only the following EGO attachments or subsequently introduced by EGO for use with this telescopic power pole:ATTACHMENT TYPE MODEL NUMBERHedge Trimmer Attachment PTX5100Pole Saw Attachment PSX2500 General Power Tool Safety Warnings –Battery Tool Use And Care. ◾ Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack. ◾ Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and re. ◾ 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 together may cause burns or a re. ◾ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. ◾ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury. ◾ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion. ◾ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re. General Power Tool Safety Warnings –Services. ◾ Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. ◾ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers. ◾ If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment.
