SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Basic clearing techniques
• Always work with the engine at full throttle.
• Always drop to idling speed after each working operation.
Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the
engine can lead to serious engine damage.
WARNING!
Never stand immediately below a branch
being cut. This can result in serious or
even fatal injury.
Observe great care when working close to overhead power
lines. Falling branches can result in short-circuiting.
• When working with the
cutting equipment at
varying heights slide with
the throttle handle on the
shaft. Keep your feet in
position.
• Never saw in the knot
seat (it accelerates waxing
and counteracts rot)!
• Fit the guard on the blade
to prevent unintentional
sawing in the tree.
• Search for the correct
position in relation to the
branch. Work with the
shaft at an approx. 70°
angle so that if possible
the cut is at 90° to the
branch.
• Do not work with shaft
held straight out from the
body (as with a fishing
rod). This increases the
strain of holding the
cutting equipment.
• Use the support strap (A)
to simplify handling of
the shaft and relieve its
weight.
WARNING!
Never use the throttle without having a
full view of the cutting equipment.
The length of the shaft is
adjustable within certain
limits.
Release the wheel (A) and
push together or pull apart
the shaft to the required
length. Tighten the wheel
well after adjusting.
WARNING!
Check the shaft for cracks.
Clean the shaft each time it is used.
WARNING!
Observe the applicable safety regulations
for work in the vicinity of overhead cables.
