WARNING!:
FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH
SURROUNDING HAZARDS SUCH AS POWER
LINES, PHONE LINES, METAL FENCES AND OTHER
OBJECTS THAT COULD BE IN YOUR PATH, FAILURE
TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO YOUR POLE
PRUNER.
Before each use, check the following to ensure safe work:
Condition of the telescopic pole pruner
Before beginning work, inspect the pole pruner for damage to the
housing, the electrical cable, the chain and the guide bar. Never use an
obviously damaged machine.
Oil tank
Check the fill level of the oil tank. Also
check whether there is sufficient oil
available while working. Never operate
the pole pruner if there is no oil or the oil
level has dropped below the minimum oil
level mark in order to prevent damage to
the pole pruner. On average, an oil filling
is sufficient for 10 minutes of operation,
depending on the duration of pauses and
the stress.
Chain
Check the tension of the chain and
condition of the cutters. The sharper
the chain is, the easier and more
manageable the pole pruner is to
operate. The same applies for the
chain tension. Check the chain tension
at least once every 10 minutes while
working in order to increase safety.
New saw chains, in particular, tend to
have a higher degree of elongation.
Protective clothing
Make absolutely sure to wear the appropriate, close fitting protective
clothing, such as protective pants, gloves and safety shoes.
Wear hearing protection and protective goggles a safety helmet
with a face guard will provide protection against falling and recoiling
branches.

6. SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Bucking spikes
The pole pruner has bucking spikes
to assist with cutting and reduce the
chance of kickback.
Keep the bucking spikes touching
the wood you are cutting. Due to
the rotation of the chain, it will pull
the pruner into the wood. When the
bucking spikes are touching the
wood, it will help prevent any sudden
jerking or kick-back.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

DEVICE RATED AT 30mA OR LESS IS RECOMMENDED.
