- Hold the power tool only by its insulated grip surfaces, as the chain saw may come into contact with
concealed power lines. Contact of the saw
a live wire can put metal parts of the device under-voltage and lead to an electric shock with a live
wire that can put metal parts of the device under-voltage and lead to an electric shock.
- During the cutting process, make sure that no persons (especially children) or animals are in the
working area.
-While the saw is running, keep all parts of the body away from the saw-chain. Before starting the
saw, make sure that the saw-chain does not touch anything. When working with a high branch
cutter, a moment of carelessness can cause clothing or body parts to be caught by the saw chain.
- Wear protective goggles and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for the head, hands,
legs, and feet is recommended. Suitable protective clothing reduces the risk of injury from flying
chips and accidental contact with the saw chain.
- Do not work with the pole saw on a tree. There is a risk of injury when operating on a tree.
- Only use the device in dry weather conditions. Keep it away from rain or moisture.
- Always ensure a firm stand and only use the pole saw when standing on firm, safe, and level
ground. Slippery surfaces or unstable standing surfaces, such as on a ladder, can lead to loss of
balance or loss of control over the high branch cutter.
- Make sure that the chain saw does not come into contact with the ground or other objects during
operation.
-When cutting a branch that is under tension, expect it to spring back. If the tension in the wood
fibers is released, the tensioned branch may hit the operator and/or snatch the control away from
the high branch cutter.
- Be especially careful when cutting undergrowth and young
trees. The thin material can get caught in the saw-chain and strike you or throw you off balance.
- Wait until the power tool has stopped before putting it down.
- Never leave the device unattended during work interruptions and store it in a safe place.
- Always switch off the pole saw when transporting to other workstations.
- Never touch the pole saw on the cutting blade.
- Carry the pole saw on the front handle with the saw-chain facing away from your body. When
transporting or storing the high branch cutter, always put on the protective cover. Careful handling
of the pole saw reduces the probability of accidental contact
with the running saw chain.
- Follow instructions for lubrication, chain tension, and changing accessories. An improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain can either break or increase the risk of kickback.
