GENERAL BATTERY-OPERATED POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings designated by the symbol and
all instructions.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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, gases 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 any
way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied 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.

56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION TELESCOPIC POWER POLE — PPX1000/PPX1000-FC6
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 inuence 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 a 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 and
clothing 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 collection 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.

56-VOLT LITHIUM-ION TELESCOPIC POWER POLE — PPX1000/PPX1000-FC 7
◾Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery
pack, if detachable, from the power tool and/or activate any battery
disabling device before clearing jammed material, making any
adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning, 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.
◾Maintain power tools and accessories. 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 and accessories.
◾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.
◾Keep cables away from the working area of the tool. During operation
cables may be hidden from view and can be accidentally damaged by the tool.
