Device-specific safety instructions

• Keep all parts of your body clear of the chain while the unit is running. before starting the unit, make sure
that the chain does not touch any objects. When working with a pole pruner, even a short moment of inattentive-
ness may result in clothes or parts of the body being caught by the chain.
• always hold the pole pruner with your right hand at the rear handle and your left hand at the front handle.
Holding the pole pruner differently (left hand – rear handle / right hand – front handle) during operation will increase
the risk of injury and is not permitted.
• Wear eye and hearing protection. other personal protection equipment for the head, hands, legs and feet
is recommended. Proper protective clothing and protection equipment reduce the risk of injury caused by thrown-
about wood chips and accidental contact with the chain.
• Do not operate the pole pruner on trees. Operating a pole pruner while situated on a tree involves a high risk
of injury.
• Make sure to have a safe stand at any time, and only use the pole pruner when standing on solid, safe and
level ground. A slippery ground or instable surfaces as the steps of a ladder may lead to loosing balance or the
control over the pole pruner.
• When cutting a branch that is under tension take into account that it will spring back. When the tension of the
wood fibres is released the tensioned branch may hit the operator and/or the pole pruner resulting in a loss of control.
• apply particular caution when cutting brush and young trees. The thin material may get caught in the chain
and hit you or throw you off balance.
• Carry the switched-off pole pruner using the handle with the chain pointing away from your body. always
put on the protection cover when transporting or storing the pole pruner. The careful handling of the pole
pruner reduces the risk of accidentally touching the sharp cutting chain.
• 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 pole pruner for cutting wood only! Do not use the pole pruner for works it is not designed for. –
example: Do not use the pole pruner for cutting plastics, brickwork or other construction materials that
are not made of wood. The use of the pole pruner for applications, for which it is not designed, may result in
dangerous situations.
