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.
