Working Safely - Parkside PGKGA 40-Li B2 Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones Original

jerky movements of the saw when you
begin to cut it. Guide the saw with
light pressure from the top to the bot-
tom through the branch.
Watch out for premature breakage of
the branch if you have misjudged the
size and weight.
• Sawing off larger branches:
In the case of larger branches, select
a relief cut fi rst of all to ensure that the
sawing process is controlled. To do
this, saw an incision (a) into the bot-
tom third of the branch (with the upper
side of the blade). Then saw from top
to bottom towards the fi rst cut (with the
underside of the blade) (b).
• Sawing in sections:
Saw off large or long branches in sec-
tions so that you have control over the
place where the branch section lands.
• Saw the lower branches of the tree off
fi rst in order to make it easier for the
branches that have been cut off to fall
to the ground.
• After the cut is completed, the weight
of the saw increases abruptly for the
operator, as the saw is no longer
supported on the branch. There is a
danger that you will lose control of the
device.
• You should only pull the saw out of the
cut with the saw chain running in order
to avoid jamming.
• Do not saw with the tip of the cutting
equipment.
• Do not saw the bulge at the base of
the branch because this will prevent
the tree from healing.

Working Safely

• Do not use the high pruning saw when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make unconsid-
ered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the equip-
ment.
• Long use of the equipment can result in
vibration-related circulatory disorders
in the hands. However, the length of
use can be extended by using suitable
gloves or taking regular breaks. Note
that a personal tendency for poor cir-
culation, low outdoor temperatures, or
high gripping forces during work will
reduce the length of use.
• While using the pole pruner/hedge
trimmer, pay attention to the specifi ed
working angle of max. 60°
der to ensure that you work safely with
the device.
• Always stand on the slope above or to
the side of the branch to be sawn.
• Hold the device as close as possible
to your body. This will ensure the best
balance.
