IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection can
result in serious eye injury from
flying debris or hydraulic oil.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
head when the tool is connected to a power
source.
• Do not dress the blade or inspect, adjust or clean
tool when it is connected to a power source.
Accidental start-up can result in serious injury.
• Inspect the blade every operating day. Remove
and destroy the blade if cracks, chips or gouges
are evident. A damaged blade can break and
strike nearby personnel.
• Maintain a firm grip on tool, using both hands at
all times. Serious injury can result if an operator
does not control the tool.
• Do not lock the trigger in the Power-ON position.
Operator cannot stop tool when trigger is locked.
• Wear protective gloves when handling, sharpen-
ing or adjusting the blade. The blade can cut even
when stationary.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in
severe injury or death.
Do not disconnect tool, hoses or fittings while the
power source is running or if the hydraulic fluid is
hot. Hot hydraulic fluid can cause serious burns.
Do not reverse hydraulic flow. Operation with
hydraulic flow reversed can cause tool malfunction.
Connect the pressure hose and tank hose to the
proper ports.

• Use this tool for trimming and pruning trees only.
Any other use can result in injury or property
damage.
• Inspect hydraulic hoses and couplings every
operating day. Repair or replace if leakage, crack-
ing, wear or damage is evident. Damaged hoses
or couplings can fail resulting in injury or property
damage.
• Make sure all bystanders are clear of the work
area when operating the tool. Nearby personnel
can be injured by falling debris.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in
injury.
Hydraulic oil can cause skin irritation.
• Handle the tool and hoses with care to prevent
skin contact with hydraulic oil.
• In case of accidental skin contact with hydraulic
oil, wash the affected area immediately to remove
the oil.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in
injury.
Procedure for disconnecting hydraulic hoses, fittings
or components:
1. Move the flow lever on the hydraulic power
source to the OFF position.
2. Stop the power source.
3. Follow the sequence under Disconnecting
Hoses to prevent pressure buildup. In case
some pressure has built up, loosen hoses, fit-
tings or components slowly.
Emergency stop/power failure procedure:
1. Release the trigger.
2. Shut off the hydraulic power source.
Note: Keep all decals clean and legible. Replace
decals when necessary — see the decals listed in the
