Safe working
If the saw chain gets stuck, do
not attempt to pull out the
pruner with force. There is a
risk of injury. Turn the motor
off and use a lever arm or
wedge to release the pruner.
• To avoid eye injuries, always wear
safety goggles while working with the
pole pruner.
•
Always
wear the carrying strap pro-
vided when operating the device.
• In order to detect significant defects,
carry out a visual inspection before
use, after the device is dropped or if
it suffers any kind of impact. In case
of any defects, do not use the device.
Instead contact.
• Do not use the high pruning saw when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make unconsid-
ered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the equip-
ment.
• Long use of the equipment can result in
vibration-related circulatory disorders
in the hands. However, the length of
use can be extended by using suitable
gloves or taking regular breaks. Note
that a personal tendency for poor cir-
culation, low outdoor temperatures, or
high gripping forces during work will
reduce the length of use.
• While using the pole-mounted pruner,
pay attention to the specified working
angle of max. 60°
