Place your left hand on the shaft and 
your right hand on rear grip and throttle 
trigger. Left-handers must follow these 
instructions, too. Keep your hands in this 
position to help maintain control of your 
pole pruner while working at all times.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate your power 
tool with one hand. Loss of control of the 
power tool resulting in serious or fatal 
injury may result.
WARNING
In order to properly control your pole 
pruner, always maintain good balance 
and a firm foothold. Never work on a 
ladder, in a tree or on any other insecure 
support. Never hold the machine above 
shoulder height. Do not overreach. 
When working at a height above 15 feet 
(4.5 m) use a lift bucket. For pole pruner 
with adjustable shaft, expand the shaft 
only as far as necessary for the intended 
application.
WARNING
Special care must be taken in slippery 
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in 
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for 
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, 
roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid 
stumbling. For better footing, clear away 
fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be 
extremely cautious when working on 
slopes or uneven ground.
WARNING
Take extreme care in wet and freezing 
weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off the 
work when the weather is windy, stormy 
or rainfall is heavy.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only 
outdoors in a well-ventilated area. 
Operate it under good visibility and 
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
WARNING
WARNING
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially 
organic dusts such as mold or pollen, 
can cause susceptible persons to have 
an allergic or asthmatic reaction.
As soon as the engine is 
running, this machine 
generates toxic exhaust 
fumes containing chemi-
cals, such as unburned 
hydrocarbons (including 
benzene) and carbon 
monoxide, that are 
known to cause respira-
tory problems, cancer, 
birth defects, or other 
reproductive harm and 
other injuries. Some of 
the gases (e. g. carbon 
monoxide) may be color-
less and odorless and 
can cause asphyxiation 
or death very quickly. To 
reduce the risk of serious 
or fatal injury/illness from 
inhaling toxic fumes, 
never run the machine 
indoors or in poorly venti-
lated locations. If exhaust 
fumes become concen-
trated due to insufficient 
ventilation, clear obstruc-
tions from work area to 
permit proper ventilation 
before proceeding and / 
or take frequent breaks to 
allow fumes to dissipate 
before they become 
concentrated.
