Husqvarna PA 1100 manuel dutilisation Without having the cutting attachment in full view

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on the engine can lead to serious engine damage.

•Always work at full throttle.

•Let the engine drop back to idle speed between each cut. Long periods at full throttle can cause serious damage to the centrifugal clutch.

WARNING! Never stand directly underneath

!a branch that is being cut. This could lead to serious or even fatal personal injury.

Observe great care when working close to overhead power lines. Falling branches can result in short-circuiting.

WARNING! Observe the applicable safety

!regulations for work in the vicinity of overhead power lines.

WARNING! This machine is not electrically

!insulated. If the machine touches or comes close to high-voltage power lines it could lead to death or serious bodily injury. Electricity can jump from one 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.

WARNING! This machine has a long reach.

!Make sure that no people or animals come closer than 15 m when the machine is running.

•Whenever possible position yourself so that you can make the cut at right angles to the branch.

•Do not work with the shaft held straight out in front of you (like a fishing rod) as this increases the apparent weight of the cutting attachment.

10 – English

•Cut large branches in sections so that you have better control over where they fall.

•Never cut through the swelling at the root of the branch as this will slow down healing and increase the risk of fungal attack!

•Use the stop at the base of the cutting head to provide support during cutting. This will help prevent the cutting attachment from ”jumping” on the branch.

•Make an initial cut on the underside of the branch before cutting through the branch. This will prevent tearing of the bark, which could lead to slow healing and cause permanent damage to the tree. The cut should not be deeper than 1/3 of the branch thickness to prevent jamming. Keep the chain running while you withdraw the cutting attachment from the branch to prevent it jamming.

•Use the harness to support the weight of the machine and make it easier to handle.

•Make sure you have a firm footing and that you can work without being hampered by branches, stones and trees.

WARNING! Never activate the throttle
