Warning!
Holding and controlling the power
tool
Never attempt to operate your power
tool with one hand. Loss of control of the
power tool resulting in serious or fatal
injury may result.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
loss of control or contact with the
running cutting tool, do not use your unit
with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct
idle speed, the saw chain should not
move. For directions on how to adjust
idle speed, see the appropriate section
of your KombiEngine instruction
manual.
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
!
Warning!
In order to properly control your pole
pruner, always maintain good balance
and a firm foothold. Never work on a
ladder, in a tree or on any other insecure
support. Never hold the machine above
shoulder height. Do not overreach.

adjustments and repairs.
!
Warning!
Proper chain tension is very important at
all times. Check it at regular intervals
(whenever the pole pruner is shut off). If
the chain becomes loose while cutting,
switch off the engine and then tighten.
Never try to tighten the chain while the
engine is running.
Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid
stumbling. For better footing, clear away
fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
!
Warning!
Place your left hand on front handle and
your right hand on rear grip and throttle
trigger. Left handers should follow these
instructions too. Keep your hands in this
position to have your pole pruner under
control at all times.
Take extreme care in wet and freezing
weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off the
work when the weather is windy, stormy
or rainfall is heavy.
