• Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tension and changing accessories.
An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or considerably increase
the risk of a kickback.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Fatty, oily handles are
slippery and may lead to a loss of control.
• Use the high pruner for cutting wood only! Do not use the high pruner for works
it is not designed for. – Example: Do not use the high pruner for cutting plastics,
brickwork or other construction materials that are not made of wood. The use of
the high pruner for applications, for which it is not designed, may result in dangerous
situations.
• Never attempt to use an incomplete machine or one which an unauthorised alteration
has been implemented.
• Always use a saw chain and guide bar specified by the chain and guide bar as speci-
fied by the manufacturer. Incorrect combinations such as replacement bar and saw
chains can cause the chain to break and/or kick back. Serious injuries cannot be ruled
out in this case.

turer or his representative to prevent safety risks.
• Allow the motor to cool down for transport, and secure the machine against slipping

vented. A pole-mounted pruner is always transported with the transport guard attached.
• Always keep these Operating Instructions together with the high pruner.

other drugs.
• When the tool is not in use, store it in a dry place and out of reach of children.

tion, do not use the tool; take it to an authorized service centre instead.
