horizontal level (Fig.16).
• Do not stand directly under the limb you are sawing.
Objects may fall different than expected. Position
yourself well out of the path of falling limbs.
• Keep bystanders away from cutting end of garden power
tool and a safe distance from the work area. Maintain a
minimum distance of thirty feet to bystanders.
• Do not stand on a ladder or other support while using
pole saw. Maintain a firm footing and balance during
operation.
• Make sure the power cord is located to the rear, away
from the chain and wood, and kept free of branches
during cutting.
• Hold the pole saw to the side of your body.
• Do not operate the pole saw with arms fully extended or
attempt to saw areas that are difficult to reach.
• Keep a firm, steady pressure on the pole saw while
working. Do not try to force the pole saw through the
wood, let the chain do the work. Use the gripping teeth to
apply minimal leverage pressure.
• Use caution when reaching end of cut. The pole saw’s
weight may change unexpectedly as it cuts free from
the wood. Always remove the pole saw from a wood cut
while it is running.
AVOIDING KICKBACK DURING
USE
Kickback occurs when the chain (at the tip of the guide bar)
comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the saw chain
becomes jammed, often when sawing sideward, slanted or
during lengthwise cuts.
To avoid kickback:
• Saw with guide bar at a flat angle
• Do not work with a loose, overstretched or worn out
chain
• Ensure chain is sharpened correctly
• Do not work with the tip of the guide bar
• Hold the pole saw firmly with both hands
• Use a low kickback chain
• Ensure correct chain tension
CUTTING THIN BRANCHES
• Thin branches can be cut off with a single cut.
• To prevent the branch from slivering and buckling, cut the
branch off in several pieces (Fig.17). When cutting larger
branches, the following four cuts are necessary:
• First cut into the branch from below, outside of the
location where you intend to cut off the branch.
• The cut should go one third to halfway through the
branch (1) (Fig.18).
• Cut into the branch from the top, making sure it’s outside
from where the branch is to be sawed (2) (Fig.18).
• To keep stump and branch from splintering, do a stub
undercut below branch (3) (Fig.18).
• Cut off the stump with one clean cut from top to bottom.
If desired, seal the cut with a suitable compound (4)
(Fig.18).
• When finished cutting, turn off the pole saw and
disconnect its power supply after use.
• Clean, then store the appliance indoors out of children’s
reach.
SAFE WORK
WARNING:
Do not operate near electrical power lines. The
unit has not been designed to provide protection
from electric shock in the event of contact with
overhead electric lines, Consult local regulations
for safe distances from overhead electric power
lines and ensure that the operating position is
safe and secure before operating the tool.
• Before beginning work and after dropping or other
impacts, inspect the pole saw in order to identify any
significant damage to the housing, the saw chain and the
guide bar. Never use an obviously damaged machine.
• Before beginning work and regularly during work check
oil level, lubrication system and chain tension.
• Wear hearing protection and protective goggles and a
safety helmet with integrated hearing protection and
a face guard. This provides protection against falling
branches and recoiling branches.
• In order to ensure safe work, a maximum working angle
of 60°is prescribed.
• Never stand below the branch to be sawed.
• Exercise caution when sawing branches under tension or
splintering wood.
• Potential risk of injury from falling branches and flying
wood projectiles!
• If the machine is in operation, keep persons and animals
away from the danger area.
• The machine is not protected against electric shock when
coming into contact with high-voltage lines.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 30 feet (10 m) from
current carrying lines. Life-threatening danger from
electric shock!
• When working on an incline, always stand above or to
the side of the branch to be sawed.
• Hold the machine as close as possible to your body. By
doing so, you maximize your balance. Make absolutely
sure to wear the appropriate, close fitting protective
clothing, such as chainsaw-protective pants, gloves and
safety shoes.
• Never overwork yourself. Take a regular rest during
working.
