Hearing protection and protective goggles.
Wear a protective helmet with integral face and hearing protection.
This will off er protection against falling branches and any branches if
they spring back.
Safe working
•
To ensure that you can work in safety you must use the equipment
at a working angle of max. 60°.
•
Never stand under the branch you want to saw.
•
Use special caution when working with branches under tension
and splintered wood.
•
Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches and catapulting
pieces of wood.
•
When the equipment is in operation keep other persons and ani-
mals away from the danger zone.
•
The equipment is not protected from electric shock through con-
tact with high-voltage cables. Keep a minimum distance of 10 m
from live cables. Electric shock can cause fatal injury.
•
When working on slopes always stand to the upper or left or right
side of the branch you wish to cut.
•
Hold the equipment as close as possible to your body. This will
help you to keep your balance.
Cutting techniques
•
When removing branches, hold the equipment at an angle of max.
60° to the horizontal to avoid being hit by a falling branch (Fig. 17).
•
Start with the bottom branches on the tree. This will make it easier
for the cut branches to drop.
CAUTION! Never stand underneath the branch you are sawing – al-
ways keep out of the range of falling branches! – Branches landing
on the ground could bounce up again – Danger of injury
