Pruner Operating Safety
1.
THIS PRUNER CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJU-
RIES. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with all controls and the proper use of the Pruner.
2.
The Pruner is designed to cut wood and can there-
fore be potentially dangerous. Careless or impro-
per use can cause serious or even fatal injury.
3.
This Pruner can conduct electricity. Do not use
where contact can be made with live electrical cir-
cuits. Never use around electrical power sources
and lines. Keep the distance between the machine
and electrical power line shall be at least 10m
(30ft.). Failure to observe this warning can result
in serious injury or death.
4.
Beware of where material will fall after being cut.
Do not stand underneath falling material.
5.
Inspect your work area before you begin. Remove
objects such as broken glass, nails, wire and rocks
which can become dangerous projectiles if thrown
by the Pruner. Remove string, rope or similar
materials which can become entangled in the
Pruner head.
6.
This Pruner will throw objects and cut. Keep chil-
dren, bystanders and animals outside a 50 ft.
(15m) radius from the operator and Pruner.
Beyond the 50 ft. (15 m) there still may be a risk
of injury to bystanders from thrown objects. It is
recommended that bystanders wear eye protec-
tion. A thrown object can ricochet. (See the
Pruner Operating Safety)

If you are approached while operating the Pruner,
stop the engine and Pruner chain motion.
8.
Use the Pruner only in daylight or good artificial
light.
9.
Do not put hands or feet near or under any rota-
ting parts. Keep clear at all times. Keep all parts
of your body away from the Pruner chain and hot
surfaces such as the muffler.

11. Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the
Pruner for any job that is not recommended by
MARUYAMA.
