■ Always use the replacement rails and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer. Incor-
rect replacement rails and saw chains can lead
to a tearing of the saw chain and/or kickback.
■
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
sharpening and maintenance of the saw
chain. Setting the depth stop too low can
increase the risk of kickback.
■ Do not saw with the tip of the blade.
This can lead to kickback.
■ Ensure that there are no objects on the
ground that you can trip over.

CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY!
► To prevent injuries, never touch the appliance
above the handle
■ During operation, no other person or animal
may be within a radius of 15 metres. The opera-
tor is responsible for third parties within the
warking area.
■ Keep the appliance, the cutting mechanism and
the blade guard in good condition to prevent
injury.
■ Before each use, check the appliance for worn,
loose or deformed parts. This ensures that the
safety of the appliance is maintained.
■ Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
■ Do not use the appliance until you have famil-
iarised yourself with its use.
■ Do not work with a damaged or incomplete ap-
pliance or an appliance that has been modified
without the consent of the manufacturer. Never
use the unit with defective protective equipment.
Do not use the appliance if it has a defective on/
off switch. Before use, check the security state of
the appliance, especially the blade and the saw
chain. If the appliance has been dropped, check
for significant damage or defects.
■ Never start the appliance before the blade,
saw chain and sprocket covers have been fitted
correctly.
■ When starting and operating the appliance, en-
sure that it does not come into contact with the
ground, stones, wire or other foreign material.
Switch the appliance off before you put it down.

while it is running!
■ The device is designed for two-handed opera-
tion. Never work with one hand.
■ Hold the appliance only by the insulated han-
dles as the saw chain could come into contact
with hidden power lines. Contact between the
saw chain and a live wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool live and could
give the operator an electric shock.
■ Make sure that the appliance is switched off
when relocating the appliance and that you
cannot accidentally touch the on/off switch.
Carry the appliance with the saw chain and
blade facing backwards. Fit the blade guard
during transportation.
■ Attach the bumper spike
cut and do not start until this has been done.
■ Be extremely careful when sawing small bushes
and branches. The thin branches and twigs can
catch in the saw and fly in your direction or
knock you off balance.
■ Do not cut any wood that is lying on the ground
and do not attempt to saw roots that are pro-
truding from the soil. Avoid immersing the saw
chain in the soil at all costs, as this could blunt
the saw chain.
■ When sawing a branch under tension, be
aware of the possibility of the branch flying
back once the tension is suddenly removed.
There is a risk of personal injury.
■ Do not use force to free the appliance if the
cutting tools get caught or jammed in branches.
Switch the appliance off immediately and do
not switch it on until the blockage has been
removed. There is a risk of personal injury!
■ We recommend attending a course on the use
and maintenance of pole pruners and also a
first aid course. After prolonged periods of non-
use, and for practice, you should always make
simple cuts in securely supported wood before
starting in order to re-familiarise yourself with
the appliance.
