Operational safety instructions for the pole pruner
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY!
To prevent injuries, never touch the appliance above the safety ring while it is running.
Preparation
Always wear a hard hat, hearing protection and safety gloves. Also wear eye protection to prevent splashes of oil or sawdust from falling into your eyes. Wear a dust mask to protect yourself from dust.
Wear sturdy, non-slip boots.
Do not use the appliance in the rain.
Before use, check the appliance's safety condition, especially the blade and the saw chain.
Do not use the appliance near overhead power lines. Maintain a minimum distance of 10m to overhead power lines.
Electrical safety
- Do not use the appliance in a potentially explosive environment containing flammable liquids, gases or dusts. The sparks generated by the machine could ignite the vapours or gases.
Appliances with defective switches must be repaired immediately to avoid damage or injuries.
Personal safety
Never use the appliance while standing on a ladder.
Do not lean too far forwards while using the appliance. Ensure you are standing firmly and keep your balance at all times. Use the supplied carrying harness to spread the weight evenly on the body.
To avoid injuries due to falling branches, do not stand under the branches that you want to cut off. Be aware of branches that may spring back and cause injuries. Work at an angle of approximately 60^ .
■ Be aware that the appliance can kick back.
- Keep an eye not only on the branches being cut, but also on falling material, to avoid tripping.
Cover the guide rail and the chain during transport during transport and storage using the cover.
Avoid unintentional starting of the appliance.
Store the appliance outside the reach of children. Only those who are fully acquainted with the operating instructions and the appliance itself may operate the appliance.
Use and handling
Never start the appliance before the blade, saw chain and sprocket covers have been fitted correctly.
- Do not cut any wood that is lying on the ground and do not attempt to saw roots that are protruding from the soil. Avoid immersing the saw chain in the soil at all costs, as this could blunt the saw chain.
If the appliance accidentally comes into contact with a solid object, turn off the engine immediately and inspect the appliance for damage.
After 30 minutes' work, take a break of at least one hour.
If the pole pruner is shut down for maintenance, inspection or storage, switch off the engine, pull the spark plug connector off the spark plug and ensure that all rotating parts have come to a standstill. Allow the machine to cool down before carrying out an inspection, settings, etc.
Service the appliance carefully. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other damage that may impair the tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly-maintained tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
Therefore, have the appliance checked by qualified specialists. Use only the replacement parts recommended by the manufacturer.
Precautions against kickback
CAUTION KICKBACK!
Be aware of the danger of kickback when working with the appliance. There is a risk of personal injury. You can avoid kickbacks by being careful and using the correct sawing technique.
- Contact with the tip of the rail can, in some cases, lead to an unexpected rearwards reaction resulting in the guide rail flying upwards towards the operator (see Fig. A).
Fig. A
■ Kickbacks can occur if the tip of the guide rail touches an object or if the wood bends and the saw chain gets caught in the cut (see Fig. B).
Fig. B
If the saw chain jams in the upper edge of the guide rail, the rail can kick back violently towards the operator.
Any such reaction can lead to you losing control over the saw and possibly injuring yourself. Do not rely solely on the chainsaw's built-in safety devices. As the user of a chainsaw, you can take a number of measures to avoid accidents and injury. A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse. It can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with your thumb and fingers around the handles of the chainsaw. Hold your body and arms in a position in which you can withstand kickback forces. If suitable measures are taken, the operator can control the recoil forces. Never let go of the chainsaw.
- Avoid an abnormal posture and do not saw above shoulder height. This will prevent inadvertent contact with the tip of the rail and allows a better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
Always use the replacement rails and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect 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.
Operational safety instructions for the strimmer
Preparation
Wear close-fitting clothes that offer good protection, such as long trousers, sturdy work shoes, heavy-duty protective gloves, a hard hat, a protective mask for your face or safety goggles to protect your eyes and good ear plugs or some other hearing protection against noise.
Always use the enclosed shoulder strap.
Always ensure that the handles are dry and clean and that no petrol mixture is present.
Before working, check the area for objects such as pieces of metal, bottles, stones, etc, which could get thrown up and cause injuries to the user.
Before starting the engine, make sure that the strimmer is not in contact with any obstacles.
Do not use the appliance until you have familiarised yourself with its use.
Electrical safety
