POLE PRUNER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the pruner, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating pruner may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the pruner saw chain.
• Always hold the pruner with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the pruner
with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
•
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the pruning saw chain.
•
Do not operate a pruner in a tree. Operation of a pruner while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
•
Always keep proper footing and operate the pruner only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or
unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the pole pruner.
•
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the
spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the pole pruner out of control.
•
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the pole pruner chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the pole pruner by the front handle with the pole pruner switched off and away from your body. When transporting
or storing the pole pruner always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pole pruner will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving pole pruner chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use pole pruner for purposes not intended. For example: do not use pole pruner for cutting plastic,
masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the pole pruner for operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous
• Do not use the pole pruner while up a tree.
• Always use the replacement chain bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Using the wrong replacement chain bars
or chains may cause the chain to break or can result in kickback.
Kickback
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw
chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards
the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely
exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a pole pruner user, you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the pole pruner handles, with both hands on the pruner and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the pole pruner.
• Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the pole pruner in unexpected
situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
• Reduce the element of surprise by understanding what causes kickback.
Push Back
Push back will occur if an attempt is made to saw with the top of the guide bar, if the chain touches against a rigid object and
jams in the cut.
Pull Forward
If the bucking spikes are not set against the timber, the chain at the bottom of the guide bar will pull the saw forward; this can
jam the chain in the timber. To avoid this always have the bucking spikes set against the timber when performing a cut.
