Sawing in sections:
•
Saw off large or long branches in sec-
tions so that you have control over the
place where the branch section lands.
• Saw the lower branches of the tree off
first in order to make it easier for the
branches that have been cut off to fall
to the ground.
• After the cut is completed, the weight
of the saw increases abruptly for the
operator, as the saw is no longer
supported on the branch. There is a
danger that you will lose control of the
device.
• You should only pull the saw out of the
cut with the saw chain running in order
to avoid jamming.
• Do not saw with the tip of the cutting
equipment.
• Do not saw the bulge at the base of
the branch because this will prevent
the tree from healing.

Working Safely

• Do not use the high pruning saw when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make unconsid-
ered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the equip-
ment.
• Long use of the equipment can result in
vibration-related circulatory disorders
in the hands. However, the length of
use can be extended by using suitable
58
gloves or taking regular breaks. Note
that a personal tendency for poor cir-
culation, low outdoor temperatures, or
high gripping forces during work will
reduce the length of use.
• While using the pole pruner/hedge
trimmer, pay attention to the specified
working angle of max. 60°
der to ensure that you work safely with
the device.
• Always stand on the slope above or to
the side of the branch to be sawn.
• Hold the device as close as possible
to your body. This will ensure the best
balance.

Maintenance/Cleaning

Repair and servicing work not
described in this manual should
always be carried by our Service
Centre. Use only original parts.
Remove the rechargeable battery
from the device before cleaning
and maintenance.
Wear gloves when working with
the blade, saw chain and cutter
bar.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guaran-
tee a long and reliable service life.
• Before each use, check the hedge trim-
mer for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the se-
cure seating of the bolts in the cutter bar.
• Do not use the unit if the blades are
blunt or worn. This will overstress the
motor and gearbox of the machine.
• Check coverings and safety devices
for damage and correct seating. Re-
place these where necessary.
