Husqvarna PAX1100 Operator's Manual page 8

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: 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.
• 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.
• Always release the throttle/power trigger after each
working operation. Long periods at full throttle/speed
without any load on the engine/motor can lead to
serious engine/motor damage.
• Always work at full throttle/speed.
• 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.
