this manual. If the operating
characteristics or the appearance of
your machine differs from those

Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because a pole pruner is
a high-speed, fast-cut-
ting power tool with an
extended reach, special
safety precautions must
be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manual and
the safety precautions
periodically. Careless or
improper use may cause
serious or fatal injury.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. Observe all
applicable national, state and local laws,
safety regulations, standards and
ordinances.
WARNING
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the instruction manual. Be sure
that anyone using it understands the
information contained in this manual.
WARNING
The use of this machine may be
hazardous. The pole pruner chain has
many sharp cutters. If the cutters contact
your flesh, they will cut you, even if the
chain is not moving.
