grip. This method is very dangerous
because you may lose control of the
machine.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control be absolutely sure that the guide
bar and chain are clear of you and all
other obstructions and objects, including
the ground, because when the engine
starts at starting-throttle, engine speed
will be fast enough for the clutch to
engage the sprocket and turn the chain.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
With the engine running only at idle,
attach the power tool to the spring hook
of your harness if you are wearing one
(see appropriate chapter of this manual).
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting. Stop the engine immediately if
you are approached.
WARNING
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to permit the rope to
rewind. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injury to your hand or
fingers and may damage the starter
mechanism.

Important Adjustments
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury
from loss of control or contact with the
running cutting tool, do not use your unit
with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct
idle speed, the saw chain should not
move. For directions on how to adjust
idle speed, see the appropriate section
of your instruction manual.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
power tool and make proper
adjustments and repairs.
WARNING
This unit is equipped with an ignition
system that is normally in operational
readiness. After the setting lever is used
to stop the engine, it automatically
springs back to the "on" position. If the
engine is warm, it may be possible to
start it by simply pulling the starter rope,
with no further adjustments. To reduce
the risk of injury, be particularly alert to
keep children away from the unit.
Proper chain tension is very important at
all times. Check it at regular intervals
(during work breaks and only when the
pole pruner is shut off). If the chain
becomes loose while cutting, switch off
the engine and then tighten. Never try to
tighten the chain while the engine is
running.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Place your left hand on the shaft and
your right hand on rear grip and throttle
trigger. Left-handers must follow these
instructions, too. Keep your hands in this
position to help maintain control of your
pole pruner while working at all times.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate your power
tool with one hand. Loss of control of the
power tool resulting in serious or fatal
injury may result.
