Working Safely

• Keep the equipment, cutting attach-
ments and protective blade cover in
good condition in order to prevent inju-
ry.
• If dropped, check the equipment for
significant damage or defects.
• Observe the specified working angle
60°±10°, in order to guarantee safe
working.
• Do not use the electric pruner when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make unconsid-
ered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the equip-
ment.
• Change your working position regu-
larly. Long use of the equipment can
result in vibration-related circulatory
disorders in the hands. However, the
length of use can be extended by us-
ing suitable gloves or taking regular
breaks. Note that a personal tendency
for poor circulation, low outdoor tem-
peratures, or high gripping forces dur-
ing work will reduce the length of use.
