Pruner Operating Safety

1. THIS PRUNER CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJU-
RIES. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with
all controls and the proper use of the Pruner.
2. The Pruner is designed to cut wood and can there-
fore be potentially dangerous. Careless or improper use
can cause serious or even fatal injury.
3. This Pruner can conduct electricity. Do not use where
contact can be made with live electrical circuits. Never use
around electrical power sources and lines. Failure to
observe this warning can result in serious injury or death.
4. Beware of where material will fall after being cut. Do not
stand underneath falling material.
5. Inspect your work area before you begin. Remove ob-
jects such as broken glass, nails, wire and rocks which can
become dangerous projectiles if thrown by the Pruner.
Remove string, rope or similar materials which can
become entangled in the Pruner head.
6. This Pruner will throw objects and cut. Keep children,
bystanders and animals outside a 50 ft. (15m) radius from
the operator and Trimmer. Beyond the 50 ft. (15 m) there
still may be a risk of injury to bystanders from thrown
objects. It is recommended that bystanders wear eye pro-
tection. A thrown object can ricochet. (See the String
Trimmer Operating Safety)
7. If you are approached while operating the Pruner, stop the
engine and Pruner chain motion.
8. Use the Pruner only in daylight or good artificial light.
9. Do not put hands or feet near or under any rotating parts.
Keep clear at all times. Keep all parts of your body
away from the Pruner chain and hot surfaces such as the
muffler.
10. Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
11. Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the Pruner for
any job that is not recommended by MARUYAMA.
