Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction.
Substantial or repeated inhalation of
dust and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle
size, may cause respiratory or other
illnesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work
practices, such as operating the unit so
that the wind or operating process
directs any dust raised by the power tool
away from the operator. Follow the
recommendations of EPA/OSHA/
NIOSH and occupational and trade
associations with respect to dust
("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be substantially
controlled, i.e., kept at or near the
ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/
MSHA for the type of dust encountered.
Operating instructions
!
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle lock, as you do not have
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.

!
Warning
The hook continues to move for a short
period after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect).
!
Warning!
Accelerating the engine while
movement of the hook is blocked
increases the load on the engine and will
cause the clutch to slip continuously.
This may result in overheating and
damage to important components (e.g.
clutch, polymer housing components),
which can then increase the risk of injury
from the hook moving while the engine is
idling.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury to the
operator from vibrations, the unit should
be run at full throttle only during the
shaking process. In addition, and in
order to reduce the likelihood of damage
to the stems and branches being
shaken, the shaking process itself
should be kept as short as possible.
Depress the throttle trigger in a short
burst or a series of short bursts to apply
the shaking motion.
Remember to hold the power tool only
with your right hand loosely on the
control handle during the shaking
process. See the section on "Holding
and controlling the power tool" above.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert at all times so as not to
endanger others.
!
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of serious or
even fatal injury to bystanders from
falling objects or inadvertent contact with
the moving parts of your power tool
always keep bystanders out of the reach
of the machine.
Danger!
Your power tool is not
insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, never
operate this power tool in the vicinity of
any wires or cables (power, etc.) which
may be carrying electric current.
!
Warning
The gearbox becomes hot during
operation. To reduce the risk of burn
injury, do not touch the gear housing
when it is hot.
