Intended use of the product

Before starting operations with the tool, wear protective clothing and check that all the safety and protection systems
are working and mounted properly.
• Grip the tool tightly with both hands, the right on the control handle (14) and the left on
the extension.
• Get into a stable and safe position. Stand straight and keep the tool on the right side of
the body.
• Start cutting only when the chain of the pruner has reached maximum speed.
• Do not apply pressure on the chain of the pruner while cutting, let it work. To achieve
the best cutting results, it is vital to make sure that the chain speed does not decrease
due to overloads.
• Pay attention when the chain has completed the cut, the pruner will suddenly
change its weight. A risk of injuries to the legs and feet is present.
• Hold the device obliquely and do not exceed a 60° angle with respect to the horizontal
plane.
• It is recommended to cut the lower branches first in order to facilitate the fall of cut
branches.

Never stop under a branch being cut and evaluate the falling space of the cut branches. The branches that fall
to the ground may bounce and cause injuries.

Pay attention to the falling branch. Keep the work area clear, by removing fallen twigs and branches.
Before cutting the branches, determine the escape path and remove obstacles.
