3.3 Safety instructions for the pole-mounted
pruner
■
During pruning, lift the pole-mounted pruner
to a maximum angle of 60°. At a steeper an-
gle, you inevitably get into the area where
cut-off branches can fall. Always stand out-
side this area.
■
Plan an escape route in advance for getting
out of the way of falling branches. This es-
cape route must be free of obstacles such as
sawn-off branches or slippery places that
could hinder getting out of the way.
■
Keep a safe distance from bystanders, ani-
mals, objects or buildings, which is at least
approx. 2.5x the length of the branch to be
sawn off. If that is not possible, saw the
branch off piece by piece.
■
Do not attempt to saw a branch that has a di-
ameter greater than the length of the chain
bar.
■
Do not try to continue a cut that has already
been started.
■
Do not use the pole-mounted pruner for lifting
or moving wood.
■
Make sure that there are no foreign bodies in
the wood (nails, etc.).
■
Avoid moving branches or objects becoming
caught in the saw chain. In this case, immedi-
ately switch off the pole-mounted pruner.
■
Switch off the the basic appliance and push
the protective cover over the saw chain for:
■
Inspection, adjusting and cleaning work
■
Work on the guide rail and saw chain
