When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starting rope around your
hands. Do not allow the grip to snap
back, but guide the starter rope slowly
back to permit the rope to rewind
properly. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injury to hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Important adjustments
!
Warning !
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
loss of control or contact with the
running chain, do not use a pole pruner
with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct
idle speed, the chain should not rotate.
For directions to adjust idle speed, see
the appropriate section of your owner's
manual. If you cannot set the correct idle
speed, have your STIHL dealer check
your pole pruner and make proper
adjustments or repairs.
After adjusting chain tension, start the
pole pruner, let the engine run for a
while, then switch engine off and
recheck chain tension. Proper chain
tension is very important at all times.

Working Conditions
Danger! Risk of Electrocution!
This pruner is not
insulated against electric
shock. Approaching or
contacting electric power
lines with a pruner may
cause death by
electrocution or serious bodily injury.
15m (50ft)
Electricity can jump from one point to
another by means of arcing. Higher
voltage increases the distance electricity
can arc. Electricity can also move
through branches, especially if they are
wet. Maintain a clearance of at least
15 m (50 ft) between the pruner
(including any branches it is contacting)
and any electrical line carrying live
current. Before working with less
clearance, contact your electric utility
and make sure current is turned off.
!
Warning!
The pole pruner has a large range. In
order to reduce the risk of personal or
even fatal injury to bystanders from
falling objects and thrown pieces of
wood or in advertent contact with the
rotating chain of the pruner always keep
bystanders at least 15 m (50 ft) away
when the pole pruner is running.
Operate your pole pruner only outdoors
in a ventilated area.
!
Warning!
Your pole pruner
produces toxic exhaust
fumes as soon as the
combustible engine is
running. These gases
(e.g. carbon monoxide)
may be colorless and
odorless.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury from breathing toxic fumes, never
run the pole pruner indoors or in poorly
ventilated locations.
