Operating instructions
Make sure that the saw chain does not
touch any foreign materials such as
rocks, fences, nails and the like. Such
objects may be flung off and injure the
operator or bystanders, or damage the
saw chain.
!
Warning!
Do not operate your power tool using the
starting throttle lock, as you do not have
control of the engine speed.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the slide
control / stop switch to 0 or STOP.
!Warning!
Prior to limbing, clear the working area
from interfering limbs and brush. Then,
establish an escape area away from
where the cut limbs can fall, and remove
all obstacles.
!
Warning
15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep
hands and feet away from the saw
chain. Never touch a moving chain with
your hand or any other part of your body.
The saw chain continues to move for a
short period after the throttle trigger is
released (inertia effect).
Keep work area clear – move away
fallen limbs. Place all tools and
equipment at a safe distance from the
branches being limbed, but not in the
escape area.
Danger!
Your power tool is not
insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
!
Warning!
!Warning!
of electrocution, never
Accelerating the engine while the chain
is blocked increases the load and will
cause the clutch to slip continuously.
This may result in overheating and
damage to important components (e.g.
clutch, polymer housing components) –
which can then increase the risk of injury
from the chain moving while the engine
is idling.
Always observe the general condition of
the tree. Look for decay and rot in the
trunk and branches. If it is rotted inside,
it could snap and fall toward the operator
while being cut. Also look for broken or
dead branches which could vibrate
loose and fall on the operator.
If branch is thick or heavy, make a
shallow relief cut on the bottom of the
branch before cutting down from the top
to help prevent splitting of the branch.
operate this power tool in the vicinity of
any wires or cables (power, etc.) which
may be carrying electric current.
Electricity can jump from one point to
another by means of arcing. Higher
voltage increases the distance electricity
can arc. Electricity can also move
through branches, especially if they are
wet. Maintain a clearance of at least
!Warning!
50
feet (15 m) between the pole pruner
If the chain becomes clogged, always
turn off the engine and make sure the
chain has stopped before cleaning.
(including any branches it is contacting)
and any electrical line carrying live
current. Before working with less
clearance, contact your electric utility
and make sure the current is turned off.
