2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The polemounted pruner allows you to prune ,
trees and other shrubs conveniently and safely
from the ground. This eliminates the time-con-
suming and dangerous work on a ladder or a
tree.
2.1

Designated use (01)

The polemounted pruner attachment may only be
used in interaction with the basic appliance. The
whole appliance is intended to prune established
trees and other shrubs from the ground. The user
must stand firmly on the ground (01).
Only biodegradable saw chain oil must be used.
The basic appliance as well as the attachments
are solely intended for use in non-commercial ap-
plications. Any other use, as well as unauthorised
conversions or add-ons, are regarded as contrary
to the intended use and will result in invalidation
of the warranty as well as loss of conformity (CE
mark); the manufacturer will thus decline any re-
sponsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by
the user or third parties.
2.2

Possible foreseeable misuse

■
Do not saw off any branches that are directly
or at an acute angle above the user or other
persons.
■
Do not operate the appliance standing on a
ladder.
■
Only use one extension pipe, even if further
extension pipes are available.
■
Do not use any used oil or mineral oil.
2.3

Residual dangers

Even during correct use of the appliance, there is
always a certain residual risk that cannot be ex-
cluded. Depending on the use, the following po-
tential risks can be derived from the type and
construction of the appliance:
■
Contact with wood chips and oil dust flying
around
■
Inhalation of wood chip particles and oil dust
■
Injuries caused by saw chain parts flying
around
■
Cutting injuries on the saw chain
