3.7 Safety instructions for the polemounted
pruner
3.7.1

Work instructions (01)

■
During pruning, lift the polemounted pruner
(01/1) to a maximum angle of 60° (01/2). At a
steeper angle, you inevitably get into the area
where cut-off branches can fall. Always stand
outside this area.
■
Plan an escape route in advance for getting
out of the way of falling branches. This es-
cape route must be free of obstacles such as
sawn-off branches or slippery places that
could hinder getting out of the way.
■
Keep a safe distance from bystanders, anim-
als, objects or buildings, which is at least ap-
prox. 2.5x the length of the branch to be
sawn off. If that is not possible, saw the
branch off piece by piece.
■
Do not attempt to saw a branch that has a
diameter greater than the length of the chain
bar.
■
Avoid moving branches or objects becoming
caught in the saw chain. In this case, immedi-
ately switch off the polemounted pruner.
■
Remove the rechargeable battery from the
basic appliance and push the protective
cover over the saw chain for:
■
Testing, adjustment work and cleaning
work
■
Work on the guide rail and saw chain
■
Leaving the appliance
■
Transport
■
Storage
■
Maintenance and repair work
■
Danger
■
Maintain a minimum distance of 10 m to
overhead electrical lines.
Danger of kickback
If kickback occurs, the polemounted pruner is
suddenly and uncontrollably flung back towards
the operator. This situation arises in particular if
the polemounted pruner encounters foreign bod-
ies during work, or during sawing with the tip of
the polemounted pruner.
