Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a pole pruner is
a high-speed, fast-cutting
power tool with a very
long reach, special safety
precautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand and
observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manual and
the safety precautions periodically.
Careless or improper use may cause
serious or fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
!
Warning!
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the instruction manual. Be sure
that anyone using it understands the
information contained in this manual.
!
Warning!
The use of this machine may be
hazardous. The pole pruner chain has
many sharp cutters. If the cutters contact
your flesh, they will cut you, even if the
chain is not moving.
HT 100, HT 101, HT 130, HT 131
Do not cut any material other than wood
or wooden objects. Use your pole pruner
for limbing only. It must not be used for
any other purposes, since such misuse
may result in an accident or damage to
the machine.
!
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
power tool run unattended. When it is
not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
pole pruners. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual for a description of the controls
and the function of the parts of your
model.
Safe use of a pole pruner involves
1. the operator
2. the pole pruner
