WARNING
Your pole pruner is not designed for
prying or shoveling away limbs, roots or
other objects. Such use could damage
the cutting attachment.
WARNING
If the chain becomes clogged, always
switch off the motor, move the retaining
latch to ƒ, and make sure the chain has
stopped before cleaning.
Make sure that the saw chain does not
touch any foreign materials such as
rocks, fences, nails and the like. Such
objects may be flung off and injure the
operator or bystanders, or damage the
saw chain.
Check the cutting attachment at regular
short intervals during operation, or
immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
–
Switch off the motor.
Move retaining latch to ƒ.
–
–
Remove the battery.
–
Check condition and tightness, look
for cracks.
The power tool may be used in rain and
wetness. Dry the power tool after
finishing work.
Your power tool is equipped with a
system designed to quickly stop the saw
chain – it comes to an immediate
standstill as soon as you release the
trigger switch and/or the trigger switch
lockout on the control handle.

WARNING
Prior to limbing, clear the working area
from interfering limbs and brush. Then,
establish an escape area away from
where the cut limbs can fall, and remove
all obstacles.
Keep work area clear – move away
fallen limbs. Place all tools and
equipment at a safe distance from the
branches being limbed, but not in the
escape area.
WARNING
Always observe the general condition of
the tree. Look for decay and rot in the
trunk and branches. If it is rotted inside,
it could snap and fall toward the operator
while being cut. Also look for broken or
dead branches which could vibrate
loose and fall on the operator. If branch
is thick or heavy, make a shallow relief
cut on the bottom of the branch before
cutting down from the top to help prevent
splitting of the branch.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe or even fatal
injury from falling objects do not cut
vertically above your body. Hold the pole
pruner at an angle of not more than 60°
from the horizontal level (see picture).
Objects may fall in unexpected
directions. Do not stand directly
underneath the limb being cut!
Watch for falling limbs! As soon as the
limbed branch starts to fall, step aside
and keep a sufficient distance away.
WARNING
Always pull the unit out of the cut with
the chain running to reduce the
possibility of pinching the cutting
attachment. Don't put pressure on the
pole pruner when reaching the end of a
cut. The pressure may cause the bar
