Pruner Operating safety
1. THIS PRUNER CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with
all controls and the proper use of the Pruner.
2. The Pruner is designed to cut wood and can therefore be potentially dangerous. Careless or improper
use can cause serious or even fatal injury.
3. This Pruner can conduct electricity. Do not use where contact can be made with live electrical
circuits. Never use around electrical power sources and lines. Keep the distance between the
machine and electrical power line shall be at least 10m. Failure to observe this warning can result
in serious injury or death.
4. Beware of where material will fall after being cut. Do not stand underneath falling material.
5. Inspect your work area before you begin. Remove objects such as broken glass, nails, wire and
rocks which can become dangerous projectiles if thrown by the Pruner. Remove string, rope or
similar materials which can become entangled in the Pruner head.
6. This Pruner will throw objects and cut. Keep children, bystanders
and animals outside a 15m(50ft.) radius from the operator and
Pruner. Beyond the 15m(50ft.) there still may be a risk of injury to
bystanders from thrown objects. It is recommended that bystanders
wear eye protection. A thrown object can ricochet.
7. If you are approached while operating the Pruner, stop the engine
and Pruner chain motion.
8. Use the Pruner only in daylight or good artificial light.
9. Do not put hands or feet near or under any rotating parts. Keep clear at all times. Keep all parts of
your body away from the Pruner chain and hot surfaces such as the muffler.
10. Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
11. Watch for wires. Keep sufficient distance away from electrical power lines.
12. Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the Pruner for any job that is not recommended by
MARUYAMA.
