To cut around trees, fence posts or
other obstacles, slowly move the de-
vice around the obstacle and cut with
the thread ends.
•
Avoid any contact with fixed obstacles
(rocks, walls, picket fences, etc.). The
thread would wear out quickly. Use the
edge of the protective cover to keep
the device at the correct distance.
Attention! Do not lay the cutting
head on the ground during
operation!
Working with the 3-tooth blade
Always wear the harness and
suitable protection clothing
when working with the device.
Wear eye, hearing and head
protection.
Ensure that the blade is instal-
led correctly. Replace damaged
or blunt tool parts.
There is a risk of injury.
Only use the blade to work on
open, even areas. Carefully in-
spect the area to be cut and remo-
ve all foreign bodies. Avoid hitting
stones, metal or other obstacles.
The blade can be damaged and
there is a risk of kickback by the
machine.
•
When working, hold the cutter above
the ground and slowly swivel the de-
vice back and forth like a scythe in an
equal arch.
•
Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
•
Do not use the device to cut wild
growth or brushwood.
•
Regularly check the blades for dama-
ge and replace as needed.

Working Safely
•
Do not use the high pruning saw
when standing on a ladder or in an
unsafe position.
•
Do not be tempted to make uncon-
sidered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
•
Children must be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the
equipment.
•
Long use of the equipment can result
in vibration-related circulatory disor-
ders in the hands. However, the length
of use can be extended by using suit-
able gloves or taking regular breaks.
Note that a personal tendency for
poor circulation, low outdoor tempera-
tures, or high gripping forces during
work will reduce the length of use.
•
Hold the device as close as possible
to your body. This will ensure the best
balance.
