Pole pruner safety warnings
- Prolonged use of a power tool (or other machines)
exposing the operator to vibrations may produce
white finger disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's ability to feel
and regulate temperature, produce numbness and
burning sensations and may cause nerve and
circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
All factors which contribute to white finger disease
are not known, but cold weather, smoking and
diseases or physical conditions that affect blood
vessels and blood transport, as well as high
vibration levels and long periods of ex
development of white finger disease. In order to
reduce the risk of white finger disease and carpal
tunnel syndrome, please note the following:
– Wear gloves and keep hands warm
serious injury.
– Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not
squeeze the handles with constant, excessive
pressure
– Take frequent breaks
All of the above mentioned precautions do not
guarantee that you will not sustain white finger
disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore,
continual and regular users should closely monitor
the conditon of their hands and fingers. If any of the
above symptoms appear, seek medical
advice immediately.

to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the
tool is switched off and unplugged when clearing
jammed material. A moment of inattention while
operating the pole pruner may result in serious
personal injury.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a live
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool live and could give the operator an electric
shock.
- Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the pole pruner handles, with both hands
on the pole pruner and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper

of a pole pruner while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.

only, when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as
ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of
the pruner.
- When cutting a branch be alert for kickback.
When the branch is broached it can bend down and
jam the saw chain.
