object that is causing the device to get
stuck.
If the blade gets stuck while cutting,
switch off the device and remove the
rechargeable battery. Free the blade
from the cut using a wedge.
• You will have better control over the
device if you saw using the lower edge
of the blade bar (saw chain in pulling
direction) and not using the upper edge
of the blade bar (saw chain in pushing
direction).
• Please also observe the precautionary
measures to protect against kickback
(see the safety information).
• Remove branches hanging downwards
by sawing from the top of the branch.
• Twisted branches must be individually
cut down to size.
• The saw chain must not touch the
ground or any object while sawing
through the material or thereafter.
• Due to the risk of flung and falling
objects, make sure to keep bystanders
away from the device.
• Stay at least 10 m away from over-
head power lines. Avoid starting the
power tool unintentionally.
Putting down the device
• Place the device on the ground with the
motor head first.
• The cutting unit must be placed on the
ground
without being subjected to any pres-
sure.
• Do not apply any static pressure what-
soever to the cutting unit.
Cutting techniques using the
pole-mounted pruner
Be aware of the risk of kick-
back as well as falling branches
and branches on the ground.
• Sawing off small branches:
Place the locating surface of the saw
against the branch in order to prevent
jerky movements of the saw when you
begin to cut it. Guide the saw with light
pressure from the top to the bottom
through the branch.
Watch out for premature breakage of
the branch if you have misjudged the
size and weight.
• Sawing off larger branches:
In the case of larger branches, select
a relief cut first of all to ensure that the
sawing process is controlled. To do
this, saw an incision
(a) into the bot-
tom third of the branch (with the upper
side of the blade). Then saw from top
to bottom towards the first cut (with the
underside of the blade) (b).
• Sawing in sections:
Saw off large or long branches in sec-
tions so that you have control over the
