Working with the pole-
mounted pruner
If the saw chain gets stuck,
do not attempt to pull out the
pruner with force. There is a
risk of injury. Turn the motor
off and use a lever arm or
wedge to release the pruner.
• The saw chain should have reached it ma-

• You will have better control over the
device if you saw using the lower edge
of the blade bar (saw chain in pulling

• The saw chain must not touch the
ground or any object while sawing
through the material or thereafter.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not get
stuck while sawing. The log must not
break or splinter.
• Please also observe the precautionary
measures to protect against kickback

• Remove branches hanging downwards
by sawing from the top of the branch.
• Twisted branches must be individually
cut down to size.
