General safety instructions
for the pole-mounted pruner
Keep the equipment, cutting at-
•
tachments and protective blade
cover in good condition in order to
prevent injury.
Ensure during any location change
•
that the saw chain is secured with
the chain brake and the chainsaw
is switched off and the finger does
not contact the On/Off switch.
Carry the cordless pruner with the
chain and chain bar pointing to the rear.
Attach the chain guard for transporting
the cordless pruner. If dropped, check
the equipment for significant damage
or defects.
• Never start the cordless pruner be-
fore the chain bar, saw chain and
sprocket chain wheel covering are
correctly assembled.
• The cordless pruner is designed
for two-handed operation. Never
work with one hand or above shoulder
height.
Hold the power tool only on the
•
insulated handle surfaces, as the
saw chain can come into contact
with concealed power lines or the
mains cable to the equipment.
Contact between the saw chain and a
live wire can make metal parts of the
equipment live and cause an electric
shock.
• Ensure you have a secure stance
during sawing. Do not work on a
ladder, in the tree or on unstable
locations. Be very cautious carrying
out work on a slope.
Keep your working area tidy. Only
•
start work if your working area
is free from obstruction and you
have planned a safe path of escape
when felling timber.
Place the claw stop securely with
•
every cut and do not begin with
the sawing before this.
Be extremely careful during saw-
•
ing small bushes and branches.
The thin branch thicket can snag in
the saw and whip in your direction or
make you unbalanced.
• Do not cut wood that is lying on
the ground.
Pay attention to a possible spring-
•
back during the sawing of a branch
which is under stress, if the stress
force of the wood is suddenly re-
leased. Danger of injury exists.
• Check the safety status of the
cordless pruner, in particular the
chain bar, chain brake and the
chain, before use.
• In the event that the cutting attach-
ment becomes jammed or stuck
in the branches, do not attempt to
free the equipment with the use
of force. Switch off the equipment
immediately and restart it only after
clearing the blockage. There is a risk
of injury!
Follow instructions for lubricating,
•
chain tensioning and changing ac-
cessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
Causes and operator
prevention of kickback
Beware of kickback! Be careful of
kickback of the machine during
work. There is danger of injury
here. You can avoid kickbacks by
exercising caution and using a cor-
rect sawing technique.
