• During work breaks put the machine down in such a manner that nobody is at risk.
Withdraw the
plug.
• Only operate the tool during broad daylight or with adequate artificial light
• Try to prevent it from getting wet or being exposed to humidity. Do not leave it outside overnight.
• For safety reasons, replace parts that are worn out or damaged. Only use original
spare parts and accessories.
• Make sure that other items do not cause short circuit on the appliance contacts.
• A tingling feeling or numbness in the hands is sign of excessive vibration. Limit the
operating time, take sufficiently long work breaks, distribute the work between several
people or wear anti-vibration gloves when using the tool for extended periods.
• A certain degree of noise from this device is unavoidable. Perform noise-intensive
work at times when this is permitted and at times intended for this type of work. Where
applicable, observe quiet times and limit working time to the absolute minimum. You
and other persons in the area where the trimmer is being used should wear suitable
hearing
protection.
• This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
• A circuit breaker with a fault current of 30 mA or less is necessary when working outdoors.
• Before using the equipment clear the working area of any foreign objects and be aware
of foreign objects during operation of the machine!
• Do not cut near flammable liquids or gases.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable for outdoor use.
• Do not use the pole saw if the pole or saw is damaged, wrongly calibrated or assem-
bled incompletely or not safely or if the starter does not switch the saw on and off. The
chain must stop after pressing the starter.
• We recommend that first-time users are instructed practically as to the correct use of the high
pruner and the required personal safety equipment by an experienced operator; the cutting of
round wood or logs should be trained on a log stand or similar rack-type device first.
• Warning! Never use the machine in bad weather, particularly, if there is a risk of lightning!
• Watch out for falling branches. Check the tree to be saw out. Make a room for falling branches.
• Do not use the pole saw for cutting annual shoots or bushes.
• Working on ladders, scaffoldings or trees is forbidden. Always hold the high pruner with both
hands while working with it. Apply firm, constant pressure on the high pruner when cutting.
Do not use the pole saw for sawing out branches with a diameter exceeding the chain bar.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never operate this power tool in the vicinity of any
wires or cables (power, etc.) which may be carrying electric current. Electricity can
jump from one point to another by means of arcing. Higher voltage increases the dis-
tance electricity can arc. Electricity can also move through branches, especially if they
are wet. Maintain a clearance of at least 30 feet (10 m) between the pole trimmer
(including any branches it is contacting) and any electrical line carrying live current.
• Do not stand directly under the branch to be cut off. Stand always outside the falling
branches.
