6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– If the chain becomes clogged, always switch off the
motor, remove the battery and make sure the chain
has stopped before cleaning.
– If a pinch occurs that traps the bar/chain, switch off
the motor and remove the battery before attempting
to remove the bar.
– Don't put pressure on the pole pruner when reaching
the end of a cut. The pressure may cause the bar
and rotating chain to pop out of the cut or kerf, go out
of control and strike some other object.
￭ The chain continues to move for a short period after the
trigger switch is fully released.
– Wait for the chain to stop before walking with the
pole pruner or putting it down.
￭ In the event of an emergency:
– Switch off the motor immediately and remove the
battery.
￭ Contacting foreign objects while sawing might cause the
chain to break or be thrown, or cause the pole pruner to
propel dangerous debris or kick back in the direction of the
operator. To reduce the risk of severe or fatal personal
injury caused by contact with foreign objects:
– Inspect the branch before cutting.
– Remove any foreign objects to ensure that the wood
is free of materials such as nails, spikes, cables, or
wires.
– Before starting a cut, ensure that it can be completed
without contacting surrounding objects or structures
such as fencing or stonework.
￭ The power tool has a large range. To reduce the risk of
personal or even fatal injury to bystanders from falling
objects or inadvertent contact with the cutting attachment:

– Always keep bystanders at least
– Do not allow other persons in the general work area.
￭ Check the chain and guide bar at regular short intervals
during operation, or immediately if there is a change in
cutting behavior:
– Switch off the motor and remove the battery.
– Check the condition and tension of the chain. Look
for damage to the chain or guide bar.
– If the chain cannot be properly tensioned, or if other
components of the pole pruner are worn or
damaged, stop work immediately and take your pole
pruner to an authorized STIHL servicing dealer for
inspection, repair or maintenance.
￭ If a tree is rotted, it could snap and fall toward the operator
while being cut. To reduce the risk of injury from falling
debris, take the following steps before starting work:
– Observe the general condition of the tree. Inspect for
decay or rot in the trunk and branches. Look for dead
branches that could vibrate loose and fall on the
operator.
– To prevent a larger branch from splitting, make a
shallow relief cut at the bottom of the branch before
making a finishing cut from the top. This procedure
will help reduce damage to the tree and also help
make the fall of the limb more predictable.
