safety precautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury.

precautions. Careless or improper use of the
pole pruner can cause serious or fatal injury.
Observe all applicable federal, state and local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.

manual. Allow only persons who have the proper training
and fully understand the information in this manual to
