Use as designated
The electric pole chain saw has been designed for treating
trees and wood species for private purposes. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage if
provisions of generally applicable regulations and these
Operating Instructions are not followed.
Area of use:
Care of wood species with height of up to app. 5-6 m,
depending on the body height.
Disposal
The disposal instructions are based on icons placed on the
appliance or its package. The description of the meanings can
be found in the "Marking" section.
Transport package disposal
The package protects the appliance against damage during
transport. Packing materials are usually chosen depending on
their environmental friendliness and disposal method and can
therefore be recycled. Returning the package to material
circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste disposal
costs. Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be
dangerous to children. Risk of suffocation! Keep parts of
packages away from children and dispose them as soon as
possible.
Operator requirements
The operator must carefully read the Operating Instructions
before using the appliance.
