Further safety directions

• This device can be used by individu-
als with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or a lack of
experience or knowledge if they are
supervised or have been instructed
in how to use the device safely and
understand the associated dangers.
Children must not play with the de-
vice.
• Damaged cables, coupling and plugs
or connecting leads, not correspond-
ing to the specifications, must be not
be employed. Remove the plug im-
mediately from the plug socket in case
of damage or cutting through of the
mains cable.
• Keep the equipment, cutting attach-
ments and protective blade cover in
good condition in order to prevent in-
jury.
• Ensure during any location change
that the saw chain is secured with
the chain brake and the chainsaw is
switched off and the finger does not
contact the On/Off switch. Carry the
electric pruner with the chain and
chain bar pointing to the rear. Attach
the chain guard for transporting the
electric pruner. If dropped, check the
equipment for significant damage or
defects.
• Never start the electric pruner before
the chain bar, saw chain and sprocket
chain wheel covering are correctly as-
sembled.
• The electric pruner is designed for
two-handed operation. Never work
with one hand or above shoulder
height.
• Ensure you have a secure stance dur-
ing sawing. Do not work on a ladder,
in the tree or on unstable locations.
Be very cautious carrying out work on
a slope.
• Basically the mains cable is dragged
behind the operator. The cable must
always lead away from the electric
pruner towards the rear.
• Keep your working area tidy. Only
start work if your working area is
free from obstruction and you have
planned a safe path of escape when
felling timber.
• Place the claw stop securely with
every cut and do not begin with the
sawing before this.
• Be extremely careful during sawing
small bushes and branches. The thin
branch thicket can snag in the saw
and whip in your direction or make
you unbalanced.
• Do not cut wood that is lying on the
ground.
• Pay attention to a possible spring-
back during the sawing of a branch
which is under stress, if the stress
force of the wood is suddenly re-
leased. Danger of injury exists.
• Check the safety status of the electric
pruner, in particular the chain bar,
chain brake and the chain, before use.
• In the event that the cutting attach-
ment becomes jammed or stuck in
the branches, do not attempt to free
the equipment with the use of force.
Switch off the equipment immediately
and restart it only after clearing the
blockage. There is a risk of injury!
