SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING ‑ Do not operate near electrical power
lines. The unit has not been designed to provide
protection from electric shock in the event of contact
with overhead electric lines, Consult local regulations
for safe distances from overhead electric power lines
and ensure that the operating position is safe and
secure before operating the saw chain pole pruner.
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain.
•
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off
when clearing jammed material. Blades coast after
turn off. A moment of inattention while operating the pole
saw may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the pole saw by the handle with the saw chain
•
stopped. When transporting or storing the pole saw
always fit the saw chain device cover. Proper handling of
the pole saw will reduce possible personal injury from the
saw chain.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
•
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation
•
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally
cut by the saw chain.
Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions,
•
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
Always use two hands when operating the pole saw.

Hold the pole saw with both hands to avoid loss of control.
Always use head protection when operating the

pole saw overhead. Falling debris can result in serious
personal injury.
