WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe or even fatal injury from falling
objects:
► Do not cut vertically above your body. Hold the pole
pruner at an angle of not more than 60° from the horizontal
level. Objects may fall in unexpected directions. Do not
stand directly underneath the limb being cut, @ 6.5.4.
► Watch for falling limbs. As soon as the limbed branch
starts to fall, step aside and keep a sufficient distance
away, @ 6.5.4.
► To allow branches to free fall, always cut the lower
branches first.
