suitable for outdoor use and has a current capacity sufficient to supply 
your product. Check the extension cable before every use for damage. 
Always uncoil the extension cable during use because coiled cables can 
overheat.

 

If the power cable becomes damaged, replace the power cable before 
using.

FOR ASSEMBLING WITH BATTERY-DRIVEN POWER HEAD

 

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger 
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when 
used with another battery pack.

 

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of 
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

PRUNER SAFETY WARNINGS

 

Do not use the product when there is a possibility of thunderstorm or 
lightning. Store the product safely indoors.

 

Ensure that all guards and handles are properly fitted and are in good 
condition.

 

Do not start using the product until you have a clear work area, secure 
footing, and a planned retreat path away from the falling branches or 
limbs.

 

Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust. Wear a mask or 
respirator if required.

 

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 operate the trigger release and 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 product “live” and could give the 
operator an electric shock.

 

Do not modify the product in any way or use it to power any attachments 
or devices that are not recommended by the manufacturer.

 

The product comes with a harness. Use the harness while operating the 
product. The harness assists you to control the drop of the product after 
the cut is completed. It also helps support the weight of the product 
during use and while moving between pruning positions.

 

Identify the quick-release mechanism, and practice using it before you 
start using the product. The correct use of the quick-release mechanism 
may prevent serious injury in case of an emergency. Never wear additional 
clothing over the harness or anything that restricts access to the quick-
release mechanism.

 

Before starting the product, make sure that the saw chain is not 
contacting any object.

 

An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide bar and could 
result in serious injury. Check the chain tension before each and every 
use, especially for a new chain.

 

To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting moving parts, 
always turn off the product, remove the battery pack, and allow both to 
cool down. Make sure that all the moving parts have come to a complete 
stop:

 

before servicing

 

before clearing a blockage

 

before checking, cleaning, and working on the product

 

before changing accessories

 

after striking a foreign object

 

whenever leaving a product unattended

 

whenever performing maintenance

 

whenever the product starts to vibrate abnormally

 

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an 
object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in cut. Tip 
contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the 
guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain 
along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back 

towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose 
control of the product, which could result in serious personal injury. Do 
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the product. As a 
product user, take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident 
or injury. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating 
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking the following 
precautions:

 

Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from 
obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a branch, 
limb, or any other obstruction while operating the product.

 

Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the product, and position 
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback 
forces can be controlled by the operator if proper precautions are 
taken. Do not let go of the product.

 

Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and 
enables better control of the product in unexpected situations.

 

Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. 
Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage 
and/or kickback.

 

Sharpening the chain safely is a skilled task. Replace a worn or dull 
chain with a new one, available from an authorised service centre.

 

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.

 

To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate the product within 
10 m of overhead electrical lines.

 

Beware of falling branches or those branches that rebound after hitting 
the ground.

 

Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush and saplings because 
slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or 
pull you off-balance.

 

When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that 
you will not be struck when tension in wood fibres is released.

 

If the cutting performance deteriorates over time, check if the chain teeth 
are sharp and clean. If necessary, replace the original chain (and bar) as 
recommended by the manufacturer.

 

If the chain and bar become pinched or trapped high in the branches, seek 
advice from a professional tree service specialist about the safe removal 
of the cutting means.

 

WARNING! 

Check that all the shaft couplings on the extension pole and 

tool are securely fastened before each use and at frequent intervals.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Good quality personal protective equipment as used by professionals helps to 
reduce the risk of injury to the operator. The following items should be used 
when operating your product:

Safety helmet

– should comply with EN 397 and be CE marked

Hearing protection

– should comply with EN 352-1 and be CE marked

Eye and face protection

– should be CE marked and comply with EN 166 (for safety glasses) or EN 1731 

(for mesh visors)

Gloves

– should comply with EN 381-7 and be CE marked

Footwear

– should comply with EN 20345 and be CE marked

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

 

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product 

damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the tool, battery pack, or 

 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.

 

Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour 
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.

 

Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

 

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack 
or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. 

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may 
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

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.

 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service of battery packs should 

only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.

ADDITIONAL GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

 

Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product to 
some operation. Check with your local authority for advice.

 

Never allow children or people who are unfamiliar with the instructions to 
use the product. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

 

Ensure before each use that all controls and safety devices function 
correctly. Do not use the product if the “off” switch does not stop the 
motor.

 

Wear full eye and hearing protection, strong sturdy gloves, and head 
protection while operating the product. Use a face mask if operation is 
dusty.

 

Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, short trousers, or jewellery of any kind.

 

Secure long hair so that it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement 
in moving parts.

 

Beware of thrown, flying, or falling objects. Keep all bystanders, children, 
and animals at least 15 m away from the work area.

 

Do not operate the product in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear 
view of the work area to identify potential hazards.

 

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.

 

Operating similar products nearby increases both the risk of hearing 
injury and the potential for other persons to enter the working area.

 

Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result 
in loss of balance and can increase the risk of kickback.

 

Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.

 

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.

 

Do not modify the product in any way or use parts and accessories that 
are not recommended by the manufacturer.

 

Do not allow familiarity with the product to make you careless. A careless 
fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

 

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.

 

WARNING! 

If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact, or begins to 

vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product and inspect for damage or 
identify the cause of the vibration. Any damage should be properly repaired or 
replaced by an authorised service centre.

FOR ASSEMBLING WITH ELECTRIC-DRIVEN POWER HEAD

 

Electrical power should be supplied via a residual current device (RCD) 
with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA.

 

If you need to use an extension cable, ensure that the extension cable is
