pole pruner, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating pole pruners may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw chain.
•
Always hold the pole pruner with your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
•
Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the pole
pruner "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
•
Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment
for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective equipment will
reduce personal injury from flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
•
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a
loss of balance or control of the pole pruner.
•
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is
released, the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the pole pruner out of control.
•
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the pole
pruner and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
•
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
•
Carry the pole pruner by the front handle with the
pole pruner switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the pole pruner, always
fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the pole
pruner will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving saw chain.
•
Cut wood only. Do not use pole pruner for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use pole pruner
for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the pole pruner for
operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
•
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
•
Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid them.
Serious injury could occur to the operator or
bystanders while felling a tree.
•
This pole pruner is not intended for tree felling.Use
of the pole pruner for operations different than
intended could result in serious injury to the operator
or bystanders.
