Use the device only under good lighting condi- tions. ● Before operation, make sure the device, all control elements, and safety devices are working prop- erly. Check for loose locks, make sure all protective cov- ers and handles are properly and securely fastened. Only use the device when it is in a correct condition. ● Replace any worn or damaged parts before operating the device. ● Never use the device if the trigger on the handle does not switch on and off correctly. ● Risk of kickback due to loss of balance. Avoid an abnormal pos- ture, keep a stable, safe footing and maintain your bal- ance. ● Serious injuries due to negligence through familiarity with the device due to frequent use. ● Imme- diately stop the device and check for damage or identify the cause of the vibration if the device has been dropped, hit or vibrates abnormally. Have damage re- paired by the authorised Customer Service or replace the device. 몇 CAUTION ● Wear full eye protection and hear- ing protection, strong and sturdy gloves and head pro- tection when operating the device. Wear a face mask when the work is dusty. ● Wear long, heavy trousers, sturdy shoes and well-fitting gloves when working with the device. Do not work barefoot. Do not wear any jew- ellery, sandals or short trousers. ● Risk of injury when loose fitting clothing, hair or jewellery is caught by mov- ing parts of the device. Keep clothing and jewellery away from moving parts of the device. Tie long hair back. ● Hearing protection can impair your ability to hear warning sounds, so pay attention to hazards in your vicinity and in the work area. ● The operation of similar tools in the environment increases the risk of hearing damage and the likelihood of failing to hear po- tential hazards, e.g. people entering your work area. ● Slippery handles and gripping surfaces prevent safe operation and control of the device in unexpected situa- tions. Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. ● Only use accessories and spare parts which are approved by the manufactur- er. Only original accessories and original spare parts ensure that the appliance will run fault-free and safely. Safety precautions for pole saws 몇 WARNING ● Do not use the device if there is a danger of lightning. ● Ensure that all protective devic- es and handles are correctly fitted, securely fastened and in good condition. ● Ensure a firm footing, a clean workplace and plan a retreat path from falling branches before using the device. ● Beware of exhaust fumes, oil vapour and sawdust. If necessary, wear a mask or breathing apparatus. ● Always hold the branch cutter with both hands. Hold the front handle with one hand. Hold the rear handle firmly with the other hand, operate the trigger lockout button and the trigger. ● Risk of elec- tric shock if the saw chain comes into contact with hid- den power lines. Hold power tools only by the insulated gripping surfaces, as the contact with live cables can make the metal parts of the device live. ● Risk of injury. Do not make any modifications to the device. Do not use the device to drive attachments or devices not recom- mended by the manufacturer of the device. Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide rail touches an object, or when the wood bends and jams the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact may cause a sudden reverse reaction in some cases, kicking the guide rail up and back towards the operator. Jamming of the saw chain in the top of the guide rail may push the rail rapidly back towards the operator. Any of these re- actions can lead to a loss of control. 몇 WARNING ● Serious injuries due to loss of control through a kickback. Do not rely solely on the built-in safety devices, but take appropriate measures to work accident-free and injury-free. ● You must wear the carrying belt provided when using the device. The car- rying belt is fitted with a quick-release buckle. The car- rying belt helps you to control the device when it is lowered after cutting and to hold the weight of the device during cutting. ● Serious injuries if the carrying belt cannot be removed quickly enough in an emergency. Familiarize yourself with the carrying belt and the quick- release buckle before using the device. Do not wear clothing over the shoulder strap or otherwise interfere with access to the quick-release buckle. ● Before switching on the device, make sure that the saw chain does not touch any objects. ● Serious injuries if a wrongly tensioned saw chain jumps out of the guide rail. Check the chain tension before each use. Make sure the chain is oiled. ● Switch the motor off, remove the battery pack and make sure that all moving parts have stopped moving: ● Before cleaning the device or removing a blockage. ● When leaving the device unattended. ● Before mounting or removing attachments. ● Before checking, cleaning or working on the device. ● Risk of injury due to kickback. Measures to prevent a kickback: ● Make sure your work area is clear of obstacles. ● Avoid any contact of the guide tip with branches, twigs or other objects while working with the branch cutter. ● Hold the device with both hands. ● Position your body and arms so that you can resist kickback forces. ● Never let go of the branch cutter during operation. ● Avoid unnatural postures. This gives you more con- trol over the branch cutter and prevents unintention- al contact with the tip of the bar in unexpected situations. ● Only use the replacement bars and chains recom- mended by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/ p. 1712

kickback. ● S harpening the saw chain is a challenging task. The manufacturer recommends replacing a worn or dull chain with a new saw chain. ● Risk of injury. Do not use the device on ladders or un- stable surfaces. Always stand with both legs on firm

round to keep your balance when cutting. ● Risk of electric shock. Do not work with the device within 10 m of overhead lines. ● Risk of injury if a branch under ten- sion snaps back when cutting. ● Watch for falling branches and branches that spring back after falling to the ground. ● The operator can lose their balance if thin wood gets caught in the saw and flies in the direction of the operator. Be careful when sawing small shrubs and saplings. ●  Turn off the motor and remove the battery

ack before cleaning or servicing the device. ● Check the saw teeth if the cutting performance diminishes. Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharp cutting tools are easier to control and do not block so easily. If necessary, replace the chain and the bar. Only use orig- inal spare parts from the manufacturer. ● Risk of injuryEnglish 13 due to a jammed cutting device. If the saw chain or guide rail has become trapped too high to reach, seek the advice of a professional arborist to safely remove the cutting device. ● Before each use, check that the shaft connection of the rod and the cutting tool are se- curely fastened. ATTENTION ● Only store the device indoors. Safe transport and storage 몇 WARNING ● Switch the device off, allow it to cool down and remove the battery pack before storage or transportation. ● Cover the cutting tool with the bar scrabbard before storing or transporting the device. 몇 CAUTION ● Risk of injury and damage to the device. Secure the device against movement or falling down during transport. ATTENTION ● Remove all foreign bodies from the device before storage or transportation. ● Store the de- vice in a dry, well ventilated location out of the reach of children. Keep the device away from corrosive sub- stances such as garden chemicals. ● Do not store the device outdoors. ● Make sure the chain is lightly oiled when storing the device for more than one month. The manufacturer recommends using a spray for rust pro- tection and oiling. Ask your Customer Service depart- ment to recommend a suitable spray. Safe servicing and care Note ● Service and maintenance work may only be performed by suitably qualified and specially trained personnel. We recommend sending the product to an authorised service centre for repair. ● You may only perform the adjustments and repairs described in these operating instructions. Contact your authorised Cus- tomer Service department for other repairs. 몇 WARNING ● Risk of injury. The saw chain is extremely sharp. Wear suitable protective gloves when performing chain maintenance and when cleaning, se- curing or removing the bar scrabbard. ● Follow the in- structions for chain tensioning, chain tension adjustment and chain lubrication. ● Severe injuries due to kickback if a damaged chain is not replaced or re- paired. ● Turn off the motor and remove the battery pack before cleaning or servicing the device. ● Ensure that the device is in a safe condition by regularly check- ing that all bolts, nuts and screws are screwed tight. ● Risk of injury due to long, uninterrupted use of the de- vice. Take regular breaks while working with the device. 몇 CAUTION ● Only use accessories and spare part s and attachments that are approved by the manu- facturer. Only original spare parts, original accessories and original attachments ensure fault-free and safe op- eration of the device. ATTENTION ● Clean the product with a soft, dry cloth each time after use. Residual risks 몇 WARNING ● Certain residual risks remain present, even when the device is operated in the prescribed manner. The fol- lowing dangers can be present when using the de- vice: ● Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools for the job, use the handles provided and restrict the working time and hazard exposure time. ● Noise can cause hearing injuries. Wear hearing pro- tection and limit the duration of exposure. ● Incision injuries on contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain. ● Incision injuries due to unforeseen, abrupt move- ments or kickback of the guide rail. ● Incision injuries / risk of injection by parts flying away from the saw chain. ● Injuries caused by hurled objects (wood shavin gs, splinters). ● Injuries due to falling objects. Always wear a suita- ble protective helmet when working overhead. ● Inhalation of dust and particles. ● Skin contact with the lubricant / oil. Risk reduction 몇 CAUTION ● Using the device for longer periods can cause poor circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general period of use cannot be set, because this depends on several influencing factors: ● Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin- gers) ● Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect your hands. ● Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu- lation. ● Continuous operation is more harmful than opera- tion interrupted by work breaks. You should see a doctor if using the device regularly and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of re- peated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in the fingers or cold fingers.

Working techniques When pruning, proceed as follows: Where possible, maintain a distance of approx. 15 cm between the tree trunk and the cut. Cut small branches that are thin and light a single cut with the bottom edge of the guide rail. Heavier branches of larger diameter may break or splinter during pruning. Therefore, cut in several steps: a Make a cut in the underside of the branch with the top edge of the guide rail. This cut should be about one third of the branch diameter. Illustration G b Make a cut in the top of the branch. c If another cut is necessary, never continue cutting in an existing cut but rather start a new cut. The following should be noted when pruning: Do not raise the bar higher than 60 ° from the hori- zontal. Do not exert excessive force on the guide rail. Do not stand under the branch being sawn off. Make sure that the falling branch does not endanger the user or spectators nor damage any objects. Maintain a safety distance of at least twice the branch length when pruning. Ending operation
