2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The polemounted pruner allows you to prune ,
trees and other shrubs conveniently and safely
from the ground. This eliminates the time-con-
suming and dangerous work on a ladder or a
tree.
2.1 Designated use (01)
The polemounted pruner attachment may only be
used in interaction with the basic appliance. The
whole appliance is intended to prune established
trees and other shrubs from the ground. The user
must stand firmly on the ground (01).
Only biodegradable saw chain oil must be used.
The basic appliance as well as the attachments
are solely intended for use in non-commercial ap-
plications. Any other use, as well as unauthorised
conversions or add-ons, are regarded as contrary
to the intended use and will result in invalidation
of the warranty as well as loss of conformity (CE
mark); the manufacturer will thus decline any re-
sponsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by
the user or third parties.
