7. Only use the product for the purpose it was intended
for.

order. Never use a machine that has any parts
missing or has been modified in relation to the
specification.
To use the product
WARNING: Observe the applicable safety
regulations for work in the vicinity of
overhead power lines.
WARNING: Never stand directly underneath
a branch that is being cut. This could lead to
serious or even fatal personal injury.
WARNING: This product is not electrically
insulated. If the product touches or comes
close to high-voltage power lines it could
lead to death or serious bodily injury.
Electricity can jump from one point to
another by arcing. The higher the voltage,
the greater the distance electricity can jump.
Electricity can also travel through branches
and other objects, especially if they are wet.
Always keep a distance of at least 10 m
between the product and high-voltage power
lines and/or any objects that are touching
them. If have to work within this safe
distance you should always contact the
relevant power company to make sure the
power is switched off before you start work.
WARNING: This product has a long reach.
Make sure that no people or animals come
closer than 15 m when the product is
running.
WARNING: Never activate the throttle
trigger without having the cutting attachment
in full view.
• Hold the product as close to your body as possible to
get the best balance.
• Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.
• Do not rush the work, but work steadily until all the
branches have been cut back cleanly.
• Release the throttle trigger after each working
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any
load on the engine can cause serious engine
damage.
• Always work at full throttle.
• Observe great care when working close to overhead
power lines. Falling branches can result in short-
circuiting.

• Whenever possible position yourself so that you can
make the cut at right angles to the branch.
• Do not work with the shaft held straight out in front of
you (like a fishing rod) as this increases the apparent
weight of the cutting attachment.
• Cut large branches in sections so that you have
better control over where they fall.
• Never cut through the swelling at the root of the
branch as this will slow down healing and increase
the risk of fungal attack.
• Use the stop at the base of the cutting head to
provide support during cutting. This will help prevent
the cutting attachment from "jumping" on the branch.
