Original Instructions Version December 15
Before Operating the Pole Pruner
Before beginning work, carefully check the work area and remove any obstacles. Within a
perimeter of 15 metres of the work area should be considered a hazardous area into which
no-one should enter while the Pole Pruner is being used, and when necessary this area should be
marked with a warning rope, warning signs, or other forms of warning.
When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or more operators, care should also be
taken to constantly look around to check the presence and locations of other operators within the
work area to maintain a safe distance between each operator.
Before beginning work, each component of the Pole Pruner should be checked to make sure
that it is in proper working order, make sure that there are no loose screws or bolts, fuel leaks,
ruptures, dents, broken guards or any other problems which might interfere with safe operation.
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting head when the engine is running.
Before Starting the Engine
Carefully check the work area to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 15
metres around the Pole Pruner before starting the engine.
To start the engine, place the Pole Pruner onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly
in place to ensure that neither the cutting head nor the throttle come into contact with any
obstacles when the engine starts.
After starting the engine, make sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle trigger
is released (idle). If the saw chain continues to move when the engine is at idle, adjust the idle
screw on the carburettor to a point where the saw chain stops moving, if this cannot be achieved,
take the Pole Pruner to your authorised service dealer for adjustment.
