English
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease
or resin in order for you to maintain a firm
grip and properly control your power
tool.
Check contacts in battery compartment
for foreign matter. Keep clean.
Fit the battery correctly – it must engage
audibly.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual.
If you use a shoulder strap or a
backpack carrying system (special
accessory): Practice removing and
putting down the power tool as you
would in an emergency. To avoid
damage, do not throw the power tool to
the ground when practicing.

During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Place your left hand on the shaft and
your right hand on control handle. Left
handers should follow these
instructions, too. Keep your hands in this
position to have your pole pruner under
control all times.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate your power
tool with one hand. Loss of control of the
power tool resulting in serious or fatal
injury may result.
WARNING
In order to properly control your pole
pruner, always maintain good balance
and a firm foothold. Never work on a
ladder, in a tree or on any other insecure
support. Never hold the machine with
the control handle above shoulder
height. Do not overreach. When working
at a height above 15 feet (4.5 m) use a
lift bucket. For a pole pruner with
adjustable shaft, expand the shaft only
as far as necessary for the intended
application.
WARNING
Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid
stumbling. For better footing, clear away
fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
WARNING
Take extreme care in wet and freezing
weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off the
work when the weather is windy, stormy
or rainfall is heavy.
Working Conditions
Operate your power tool only under
good visibility and daylight conditions.
Work carefully.
WARNING
Your pole pruner is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting. Stop the motor immediately if
you are approached.
