handle with the saw chain stopped. When
transporting or storing the extended-reach
pruner, always fit the saw chain device
cover. Proper handling of the extended-
reach pruner will reduce possible
personal injury from the saw chain.
5. Hold the extended-reach pruner by
insulated gripping surfaces only, because
the saw chain may contact hidden wiring.
A saw chain contacting a "live"wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
extended-reach pruner "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
6. Keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation the cable may be hidden
in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by
the saw chain.
7. Do not use the extended-reach pruner in
bad weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning. This decreases
the risk of being struck by lightning.
8. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never
use near any electrical power lines.
9. Contact with or use near power lines may
cause serious injury or electric shock
resulting in death.
10. Always use two hands when operating
the extended- reach pruner. Hold the
extended-reach pruner with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
11. Always use head protection when
operating the extended-reach pruner
overhead. Falling debris can result in
serious personal injury.
