- Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly. Do not use the machine
in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain,
strong wind, intense cold, etc.
- Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely
dangerous.
- Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and increase the possibility of kickback.
- Always keep the handles dry and clean.
- When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for springback so you will not be struck
when the tension in the wood fibre is released.
- Take great care when cutting small branches or
shrubs which can block the chain, be thrown
back towards you or cause you to lose your
balance.
OPERATING TECHNIQUES
Hold control grip with right hand and shaft with
left hand.
WARNING: – Never operate the machine
with one hand!
Optimum balance could be obtained with
machine close the body. Standing 60° with the
ground makes work less fatiguing. Work in a safe
position (do not stand within reach of falling
branches) and do not place the weight of the
machine too far forwards.
To ease branch falling, cut lower branches first.
To cut larger branches (with diameter larger than
10 cm), cut it into more parts (max length 20 cm),
never cut the whole branch.
Always cut at full throttle.
Cut small sized branches. Pay attention to falling
pieces and those that can bounce anomalously
on the ground.
WARNING – Never work under the branch
you are cutting; beware of available space and
falling pieces that bounce anomalously on the
ground.
Only work when you are in a stable and secure
position. Maintain a correct working position. Do
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 machine 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.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE WORK AREA
- Be particularly cautious and alert when
wearing ear protectors, as these can restrict
your ability to hear sounds indicating danger
(shouts, signals, warnings, etc.)
- Be extremely careful when working on slopes
or uneven surfaces.
WARNING Before starting the engine
check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A
slack chain may jump off the guide bar and
cause serious injury.
- Always wear protective goggles or a visor
when using the pruner. Chips may strike the
face of the operator, resulting in the loss of
control of the pruner.
- Always wear a protective helmet to protect
yourself from falling branches.
- Do not put pressure on the pole pruner at the
end of the cut. Applying pressure can cause
you to lose control when the cut is completed.
- Do not overreach. You could be drawn or
thrown off balance and lose control of the pole
pruner.
- Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples
and wire from the tree where cuts are to be
made.
- Never turn the pole pruner upside down to
undercut. The pole pruner cannot be
controlled in this position.
- Stop the pole pruner if the chain strikes a
foreign object. Inspect the pruner and repair or
replace parts as necessary.
- Stop the engine before setting the machine
down.
