the saw and position your
body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be con-
trolled by the operator, if prop-
er precautions are taken. Do
not let go of the chain saw.
■
Do not overreach and do
not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent un-
intended tip contact and en-
ables better control of the
chain saw in unexpected situ-
ations.
■
Only use replacement bars
and chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect re-
placement bars and chains
may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
■
Follow the manufacturer's
sharpening and mainte-
nance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead
to increased kickback.
3.9 Safety instructions for
the polemounted pruner

3.9.1 Work instructions (01)

■
During pruning, lift the pole-
mounted pruner (01/1) to a
maximum angle of 60° (01/2).
At a steeper angle, you inevi-
tably get into the area where
28
cut-off branches can fall. Al-
ways stand outside this area.
■
Plan an escape route in ad-
vance for getting out of the
way of falling branches. This
escape 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 by-
standers, animals, 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 ob-
jects becoming caught in the
saw chain. In this case, imme-
diately switch off the pole-
mounted pruner.
■
Remove the rechargeable
battery from the basic appli-
ance 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
