performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
■
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
■
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Never allow children or people who are unfamiliar with
the instructions to use the product. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator.
■
Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of
the product. Check with your local authority for advice.
■
Do not use the product when there is a possibility of
thunderstorm or lightning. Store the product safely indoors.
■
The electrical power should be supplied via a residual
current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more
than 30 mA.
■
Do not start using the product until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path away
from falling branches or limbs.
■
Beware of thrown, flying, or falling objects. Keep all
bystanders, children, and animals at least 15 m away
from the work area.
■
To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate
the product within 10 m of overhead electrical lines.
■
Do not use the product on a ladder or on unstable
support. Always cut with both feet on solid ground to
prevent being pulled off-balance.
■
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of
hearing injury and the potential for other persons to enter
the working area.
■
The use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay
extra attention to what is going on in the working area.
■
Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust.
Wear a mask or respirator if required.
■
Inspect the product before each use. Check for the correct
operation of all controls. Check for loose fasteners. Make
sure that all guards and handles are properly and securely
attached. Replace any damaged parts before use.
■
An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide
bar and could result in serious injury. Check the chain
tension before each use and frequently, especially a
new chain.
■
Check that all the shaft couplings on the extension pole
and product are securely fastened before each use and
at frequent intervals.
■
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
moving parts, always turn off the product, disconnect
from the power supply, and allow the product to cool
down:
●
before servicing
●
before leaving the product unattended
●
before clearing a blockage
●
before checking, cleaning, and working on the product

Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use
of the product. When using the product for prolonged
periods, ensure to take regular breaks.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Good quality, personal protective equipment as used by
professionals helps reduce the risk of injury to the operator.
The following items should be used when operating your
product:
■
Safety helmet
■
Hearing protection
■
Eye and face protection
■
Gloves
■
Footwear
OPERATION
■
Operate the product only in temperatures between 0°C
and 40°C.
■
Study the condition of the tree and branches before
starting work. If there are signs of damage, rot, or decay,
do not attempt to prune on your own. Damaged or rotten
branches are highly unstable. Seek the services of a
professional tree surgeon.
■
Never stand under the branch to be pruned.
■
Pruned branches do not always fall cleanly to the ground.
They are easily caught and deflected by other foliage.
Ensure that a safety zone at least twice the length of
the branch to be cut is available and maintained during
pruning. If this is not possible, seek the services of a
professional tree surgeon.
■
Beware of falling branches or those that rebound after
hitting the ground.
■
Ensure that the falling branch is not a danger to yourself,
bystanders, or property, including utility cables.
■
During operation, hold the product with both hands. Use
one hand to firmly grasp the front hand grip. Use the
other hand to grasp the rear handle and to operate the
trigger release and the on/off trigger.
■
Hold the product by insulated gripping surfaces only, because
the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
■
The product comes with a harness. Use the harness
while operating the product. The harness will assist
you to control the drop of the product after the cut is
completed. It also helps to support the weight of the
product during use and while moving between pruning
positions.
