4. Never stand directly under the limb you
are sawing. Objects may fall different than
expected. There is risk of being struck by
falling branches or by those that rebound
after hitting the ground. Always position
yourself out of the path of falling limps
(see Fig. L).
5. Keep other persons away from cutting end of
product and at a safe distance from the work
area. Maintain a minimum distance of 10 m
to bystanders (see Fig. M).
6. Never stand on a ladder or other type of
unstable support while using the product.
Insecure stand invites hazards (see Fig. N).
7. Use the product only with secure footing.
Hold the product at the right-hand side of
your body. Regularly change the working
position and include rest periods during
operation.

extended or attempt to cut areas which are
difficult to reach.
9. Keep a firm, steady pressure on the product
while working with it. Do not try to force the
product through the wood, let the cutting
device do the work, using the gripping teeth
to apply minimal leverage pressure.

unexpectedly as it cuts free from the wood.
Accidents can occur to the legs and feet.
Always remove the product from a wood cut
while it is running.

branch should be cut off in several pieces
(see Fig. O).

the oil level regularly and fill up if necessary.

battery pack when leaving the product.
When cutting off larger branches three cuts are
necessary.
