Precautions to Reduce Vibration Risk

• The pole pruner is provided with anti-vibration (AV) system; never alter or modify it.
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Keep the pole pruner chain sharp and the pole pruner, including the AV system, well maintained. A dull chain
will increase cutting time, and pressing a dull chain through wood will increase the vibrations transmitted
to your hands.
• Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant, excessive pressures, take
frequent breaks. All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor
closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical
advice immediately.
Maintenance Precaution
WARNING: Never operate a pole pruner that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not
completely and securely assembled.
• Be sure that the pole pruner chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the pole
pruner chain moves at idle speed, the carburetor may need adjusting, see Operation-Carburetor Adjusting
Section.
If the pole pruner chain still moves at idle speed after adjustment has been made, contact a Servicing
Dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.
WARNING: All pole pruner service, other than items in the Operator's Manual maintenance
instructions, have to be performed by competent pole pruner service personnel. (If
improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or clutch, or if an improper tool is used to
hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could
occur which could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst and serious injury could
result.)
• Never modify your pole pruner in any way.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
WARNING: Use only accessories and replacement parts recommended.
• Never touch the chain or attempt to service the pole pruner while the engine is running.
• Never use fuel for cleaning operations.
• Keep the pole pruner in a dry place, off the ground with the chain guard on and the tanks empty.
• If your pole pruner is no longer usable, dispose of it properly without damaging the environment by
handing it in to your local Dealer who will arrange for its correct disposal.
• Replace immediately any safety device when damaged or broken.
WARNING: The muffler and other parts of the engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the muffler and other parts while they are hot.
