to the equipment. Contact between
the saw chain and a live wire can
make metal parts of the equipment
live and cause an electric shock.
• 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.
• 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 cord
-
less 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!
