• Never cross roads or paths when the tool is
switched on.
• Never cut against hard objects such as stone, etc.
This way you avoid injuries, and damages to the
tool.
• When using metal cutting tools, there is a basic
risk of kickback if the tool meets a fixed obstruc­
tion (stones, trees, branches etc.). In this event,
the tool is whipped back in the opposite direction
of rotation.
• Never use the tool without the guards attached.
• Never use your hands to stop the cutting device.
• Always wait until it stops on its own.
• Hold and guide the trimmer head as close to the
ground as possible.
• Only cut grass growing on the ground. Do not cut
grass in cracks in walls, growing or on rocks, etc.
• Always make sure no objects, or other debris is
collecting in the trimmer head, in the protective
hood, or in the engine.
• Only use the tool, when the guard is attached.
• Always switch off the tool, before you put it down.
• Keep in mind that there is risk of injuries in the area
of the cutting device intended to cut off the line.
• CAUTION: The cutting tool continues rotating for a
few seconds after the engine is turned off.
• Put the tool down only after the cutting tool has
completely stopped and the motor is turned off.
• When the cutting tool is damaged, it must be re­
placed at once.
• Always use the original line only. Never use a metal
wire instead of the nylon line.
• Tool and cutting tools must be properly inspected
and serviced periodically. Damages must be re­
paired by a service center.
• Only use accessories recommended by the manu­
facturer. See Maintenance/Accessories
• Never use metal multi­piece cutting blades, cutting
tools with spinning chains or flail blades.
• Have your tool serviced only by qualified person­
nel and by use of original spare parts only. This
ensures that the tool will work safely in the future.

• Warning! This tool generates an electromagnetic
field during operation. Under certain circumstanc­
es, this field can affect active or passive medi­
cal implants. In order to reduce the risk of severe
or fatal injuries, we recommend that people with
medical implants consult their doctor and the man­
ufacturer of the medical implant before operating
the machine.
• Always start the cut with the saw chain running.
Make the cut in such a way that the saw does not
get jammed in the wood.
• Use the gripping spikes for every cut as the start­
ing point and always start the cut with the saw
chain running. Make the cut in such a way that the
saw does not get jammed in the wood.
• Pay particular attention to branches under tension.
• Always pull the tool out of the wood when the saw
chain is running.
• Never work with the tool above shoulder height or
with only one hand.
• Always stand away from the falling direction. Posi­
tion yourself on a slope above the tree to be felled.
• Always stand sideways when carrying out sawing
work on a tree which is located on a slope, never
work from above or below.
• Always look out for the falling direction of the parts
which are cut off.
• Never start the cut with the bar tip and never cut
with the bar tip.
• Risk of kickback! There is always a risk of kickback
when the bar tip touches the wood or other objects.
This makes the chainsaw uncontrollable and it may
be thrown towards the operator with great force.
• Do not use the tool as a lever to move objects.
• Always use the chain guard during transport and
storage.
• Secure the tool during transport in order to prevent
loss of fuel, damage or injury.

Keep passers­by away from running equipment but
never work by yourself.
• Keep within earshot of others in case you need
help.
• Stop the engine immediately when someone ap­
proaches you.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not come in
contact with foreign objects such as stones, fenc­
es, nails and similar. These objects could be eject­
ed and injure the operator or passers­by or dam­
age the saw chain.
• National specifications may restrict the use of the
pole saw.
• Do not use the machine within 10 metres of a posi­
tion from which it can reach high­voltage cables.
Before working on the tool itself (e.g. transport,
set-up, retooling, cleaning and maintenance),
disconnect the spark plug cap!
