General notes on safety

Before you do any work with the
high pruning saw, make yourself
familiar with all operating parts.
Practise using the saw (sawing logs
on a sawhorse) and get an experi-
enced user or a specialist to explain
to you the function of the saw, the
way of working, the techniques of
sawing and the personal protection
equipment.

structions in order to prevent injury
to people and damage to property:
Observe noise protection and other
local regulations.
Improper maintenance and the re-
moval of safety devices will cause
a risk of serious injury.

Electric safety

Read the safety instructions in order
to avoid injuries and material dam-
age.
Protection against of electric shock:
• Connect the high pruning saw only
to a plug socket with leakage-current-
operated circuit breaker (l.c.o. circuit
breaker) with a rated current of not
more than 30 mA.
• Make sure that the mains voltage
agrees with the information of the label.
• Protect the device against moisture.
The device must not be wet and should
not be operated in a moist environ-
ment.
• Check the device and the power cable
with plug for damage before every use.
Avoid body contact with earthed parts
(e.g. metal fences, metal posts).
• Employ only extension cords, which
are stipulated for use in the open air.
The flexible lead cross-section of the
extension cord must be at least 1.5
mm . Always roll a cable drum com-

pletely out before use. Check the cable
for damages.
• Damaged cables, coupling and plugs or
connecting leads, not corresponding to
the specifications, must be not be em-
ployed. Remove the plug immediately
from the plug socket in case of damage
or cutting through of the mains cable.
• If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent
