Normal intended use

The power pruner is only suitable for cutting branches on
standing trees.
The power pruner is not suitable to cut down trees, saplings
or shrubs.
Do not use the power pruner for sawing building materials
and plastics.
The power pruner is only suitable for private use in gardens
and allotments.
The power pruner is not suitable for forestry works (pruning
branches in the forest). The necessary safety of the
operator is not guaranteed by the cable joint.
The intended usage also includes compliance with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by the
manufacturer and following the safety instructions included
in the instructions.
Any other use is deemed not to be intended use. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this: the user bears the sole risk.

Risidual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety instructions" and
the "Normal intended use" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Risk of backstrokes when touching the guide bar tip with a
hard object.
Risk of injuries of fingers and hands by the tool (saw chain).
Injury by catapulted workpiece parts.
14
Electric shock.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Risk of fire.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.

Safety instructions

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in way. Do nut use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shocks.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shocks.
