WARNING: Never use a product with faulty
safety devices. The safety devices must be
checked as described in this section. If the
product fails any of these checks, contact
your servicing agent to get it repaired.
Pole pruner safety information
• Do not operate near electrical power lines. The unit
has not been designed to provide protection from
electric shock in the event of contact with overhead
electric lines, Consult local regulations for safe
distances from overhead electric power lines and
ensure that the operating position is safe and secure
before operating the saw chain pole pruner.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain.
Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut
when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off
when clearing jammed material. Saw chain
continues to move after the switch is turned off. A
moment of inattention while operating the extended-
reach pruner may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the extended-reach pruner by the handle with
the saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing
the extended-reach pruner, always fit the saw chain
device cover. Proper handling of the extended-reach
pruner will reduce possible personal injury from the
saw chain.
• Hold the extended-reach pruner by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. A saw chain contacting a "live
" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
extended-reach pruner "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Do not use the extended-reach pruner in bad
weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near
any electrical power lines. Contact with or use near
power lines may cause serious injury or electric
shock resulting in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the extended-
reach pruner. Hold the extended-reach pruner with
both hands to avoid loss of control.
• Always use head protection when operating the
extended-reach pruner overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
