Contents
Allow only persons who fully understand
this manual to operate your pole pruner.
To receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL pole
pruner, it is important that you read,
understand and follow the safety
precautions and the operating and
maintenance instructions in chapter
"Safety Precautions and Working
Techniques" before using your pole
pruner. For further information you can
go to www.stihlusa.com.
Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL
distributor for your area if you do not
understand any of the instructions in this
manual.
WARNING
Because a pole pruner is a battery-
powered, high-speed, fast-cutting power
tool with a very long reach, special
safety precautions must be observed to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
Careless or improper use may cause
serious or even fatal injury.
