Safety Precautions, Kickback and Pinching

Safety Precautions

DANGER!

THE PRUNER IS NOT

INSULATED AGAINST

ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

Approaching or contacting electrical line with the pruner could cause death or serious injury. Keep the pruner at least 10 meters away from electrical lines or branches that contact electrical lines.

A pole pruner operates at very high speeds and has the potential to do serious damage if misused, abused or mishandled. To reduce the risk of injury, you must maintain control at all times, and observe all safety precautions during operation.

WARNING!

Kickback and Pinching

Both kickback and pinching may cause you to lose control of the pole pruner which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively on the safety device built into the pruner! You must take several steps to keep your jobs free from accident or injury:

■Understand kickback and pinching! You can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

■Cut at high engine speeds.

■Keep a firm grip on the pole pruner with both hands whenever the engine is running. A firm grip will help you reduce the effects of kickback and pinching as well as maintaining control of the unit.

■Make sure the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstructions which could be hit while you operate the pole pruner.

■Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for sharpening and maintaining the chain.

■Use only the replacement bar and chain or equivalent as specified by the manufacturer.

Never permit a person without training or instruction to operate this pruner!

Beware of Kickback!

Kickback can occur whenever the tip of the guide bar touches an object while the

saw is operating. Kickback may force the bar up and back toward the operator with lightning-like speed!

Beware of pinching.

Pinching the saw along the tip of the guide bar may force the bar back rapidly

toward the operator. Pinching can occur whenever wood closes in around the moving chain.
