operator needs to be aware and in control of everything
happening in the work area.
Do not use a back-and-forward sawing motion, let the
chain do the work.Keep the chain sharp and do not try to
push the chain through the cut.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.Be
ready to take on the weight of the saw as it cuts free from
the wood. Failure to do so could result in possible serious
personal injury.
Do not stop the saw in the middle of a cutting operation.
Keep the saw running until it is already removed from the
cut.Do not fix the on/off switch in the „on" position when
using the saw hand-held.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
appliance.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store
only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Prior to commissioning, check the following points on the
pole-mounted pruner:
- Correct position of shoulder strap and inspection of the
quick release mechanism
- Damage to the device like cracks on the guide rail
- Correct guide rail seating
- Installation/running direction of the problem-free
(sharp) saw chain
- Saw chain tension (in case of a new chain, check and
readjust this multiple times)
- Functioning chain lubrication
Check the automatic chain lubrication
Regularly check the function of the automatic chain lub-
rication to prevent overheating and associated damage
to the blade and saw chain. To do this, point the tip of
the sword against a smooth surface (board, section of a
tree) and let the chainsaw run. If an increasing amount of
oil becomes visible during this procedure, the automatic
chain lubrication is working properly.
WARNING! Danger of injury!
If the shoulder strap is not detached promptly in an
emergency, serious injuries can result.
WARNING
Keep your working position in mind to ensure safe
working. Do not use the pole-mounted pruner from a
ladder or other unsafe position. Ensure that you have
firm footing and use appropriate protective clothing.
Do not be tempted to make ill-considered cuts. This
can endanger yourself and others.

WARNING
Cutting springpoles
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling
which is bent under tension by other wood so that it
springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.
On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of
springing back to the upright position during the bucking
cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for
springpoles—they are dangerous.
WARNING
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the opera-
tor, causing the operator to lose control of the pruning
saw. This could result in severe or fatal injury to the
operator. This should be done by trained users.
Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the
machine. Check with your local authority for advice.
WARNING
If the machine is dropped, suffers heavy impact or
begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the
machine and inspect for damage or identify the cause
of the vibration. Any damage should be properly
repaired or replaced by an service station.
Residual Risk
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual
risk factors. The following hazards may arise in use and
the operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
• Injury caused by vibration
Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated
handles. Restrict working time and exposure.
• Damage to hearing due to exposure to noise
Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
• Injury caused by contact with exposed saw teeth of
the chain
• Injury caused by thrown-out pieces of the workpiece
(wood chips, splinters)
• Injury caused by dust and particles
• Injury to the skin caused by contact with lubricants
• Parts ejected from the saw chain (cutting/injection
hazards)
• Unforeseen, abrupt movement, or kickback of the
guide bar (cutting hazards)"
Risk Reduction
• It has been reported that vibrations from handheld
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may inclu-
