Proper use

This device is a particularly light, handy tree pruning saw with
an overhead handle. The tree pruning saw has been specially
developed for tree surgery and tree care. These tree prun-
ing saws may therefore only be operated by "Tree pruning
saw operators with additional training for work using raised
platforms or ladder platforms and/or using rope climbing
techniques".
For occasional use on thin wood, fruit tree care, branch trim-
ming or cutting to length.
Preparing firewood may only be completed as long as the
diameter of the wood does not exceed the cutting length
(20cm).
For this work, we recommend a conventional chainsaw with
extended handle clearance and cutting length.
Who is not permitted to use the device:
People who are not familiar with the operating manual, chil-
dren under the age of 16, people under the influence of alco-
hol, drugs or medication, and people who are tired or unwell.
The device is non-intended to be used exclusively for sawing
wood. The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by
non-intended use or incorrect operation.
The device may only be used in the intended manner. Any
use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not the manu-
facturer, is responsible for damages or injuries of any type
resulting from this.
An element of the intended use is also the observance of the
safety instructions, as well as the assembly instructions and
operating information in the operating manual.
Persons who operate and maintain the device must be famil-
iar with the manual and must be informed about potential
dangers.
In addition, the applicable accident prevention regulations
must be strictly observed.
Other general occupational health and safety-related rules
and regulations must be observed.
The liability of the manufacturer and resulting damages are
excluded in the event of modifications of the device.

General information

m WARNING
Always remain attentive, pay attention to what you are doing
and be sensible when working with the device. Do not use
the device while ill, tired or under the influence of drugs, al-
cohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Avoid misuse, use the machine only as described under "In-
tended use".
The operating manual contains important notices on how to
work safely and professionally with the chainsaw and how
to avoid hazards.
If a blockage still occurs between the material to be cut and
the saw chain, switch it off immediately. Wait until the saw
chain has come to a standstill. Remove the spark plug connec-
tor and put on cut-resistant gloves to remove the blockage. If
the guide rail (blade) has to be removed, follow the instructions
as described in the chapter "Installation". After removing the
blockage and re-installation, a test run must be carried out.
If vibrations or mechanical noises are detected during this
process, stop work and contact an authorised service centre.
Should this hazard occur more often, we recommend a new
training.
■ Before start-up, read the operating manual for your device
