SAFETY
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE POLE SAW
FOLLOW THESE RULES WHILE OPERATING
THE POLE SAW.
WARNING — Do not let comfort or familiarity with
product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to product safety
rules. If you use this tool incorrectly, you
can suffer serious personal injury!
1.
Use the pole saw for cutting wood only. Do not use this
tool for cutting plastic, masonry, etc.
2.
Keep all parts of your body clear of the chain while the
saw is running. Before starting the saw, make sure the
chain is not touching any objects
3.
Always hold the pole saw with your right hand at the rear
handle and your left hand at the front handle. Holding the
chain saw differently (left hand on rear handle, right hand
on front handle) may affect the balance of the saw and
will increase the risk of injury.
4.
Wear eye and hearing protection. Other personal
protection equipment for the head, hands, legs and feet
is recommended.
5.
Do not operate the saw while sitting or standing in a tree.
Make sure to have a safe stance at all time. Only use the
saw when standing on solid, safe and level ground.
6.
When cutting a branch that is under tension, take into
account that the branch may spring back.
7.
Use particular caution when cutting brush and young
trees. The thin material may get caught in the chain and
hit you or throw you off balance.
8.
Carry the switched-off saw using the front handle with
the chain pointing away from your body. Always put on
the protective cover when transporting or storing the
chain saw. Carefully handling the saw greatly reduces
the risk of accidentally touching the sharp cutting chain.
9.
Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tension
and changing accessories. An improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or considerably
increase the risk of kickback.
10.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free from gas, oil and
grease. Slippery handles may lead to a loss of control.
11.
Never attempt to use an incomplete or altered saw.
12.
This machine is not intended for use by persons with
an impaired physical, sensory or mental capacity or by
persons with insufficient pole saw knowledge
or experience.
13.
Remain alert; pay attention to what you are doing and
proceed sensibly when working with an electric tool.
Do not use the machine if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
14.
Young persons under the age of 16 are not permitted to
operate this device.
15.
Inspect the saw thoroughly before use for damage. If
any parts or pieces appear to be missing or damaged,
do not operate the saw.
16.
Do not operate during adverse weather conditions,
particularly during lightening and rain.
17.
Always make sure the chain tension is correct.
18.
Only use properly functioning pole saws. Only work with
a saw chain sharpened according to regulations.
19.
Never saw with the upper edge or tip of the guide bar.
20.
Always hold the saw firmly with two hands.
21.
Sawing wood under tension necessitates an increased
amount of caution. Wood that is suddenly released from
tension can react in a completely uncontrolled manner.
This can result in severe to deadly injuries. Such work
may only be performed by trained specialists.
22.
The purpose of this pole saw is for limbing trees and
cleaning up branches. Do not push it beyond its limits
or its capacities.
