◾
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain.
Do not remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch
is off when clearing jammed material. Saw chain continues to move after the
switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the pole pruner may
result in serious personal injury.
◾
Carry the pole pruner by the handle with the saw chain stopped.
When
transporting or storing the pole pruner, always fit the saw chain device cover.
Proper handling of the pole pruner will reduce possible personal injury from the
saw chain.
◾
Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping surfaces only
, because the saw
chain may contact hidden wiring. A saw chain contacting a
“live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the pole pruner
“live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
◾
Do not use the pole pruner in bad weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning.
This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
◾
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any electrical power
lines.
Contact with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric
shock resulting in death.
