Warning!
In order to properly control your pole
pruner, always maintain good balance
and a firm foothold. Never work on a
ladder, in a tree or on any other insecure
support. Never hold the machine above
shoulder height. Do not overreach.
When working at a height above 15 feet
(4.5 m) use a lift bucket. For pole pruner
with adjustable shaft, expand the shaft
only as far as necessary for the
intended application.
Warning!
Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid
stumbling. For better footing, clear away
fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
Warning!
Take extreme care in wet and freezing
weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off the
work when the weather is windy, stormy
or rainfall is heavy.
Warning!
As soon as the engine is
running, this product gen-
erates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi-
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon monoxide, that
are known to cause respiratory prob-
lems, cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some of the gases
(e. g. carbon monoxide) may be color-
less and odorless. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury / illness from inhal-
ing toxic fumes, never run the machine
indoors or in poorly ventilated locations.
If exhaust fumes become concentrated
due to insufficient ventilation, clear
obstructions from work area to permit
proper ventilation before proceeding
and / or take frequent breaks to allow
fumes to dissipate before they become
concentrated.
