impact; this waste must not be disposed of
as normal waste, it must be separated and
taken to specified waste disposal centres
where the material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations
for the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dump it in the environment, but take
it to a waste disposal facility in accordance
with the local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away
with domestic waste. According to the
European Directive 2012/19/EU on
electrical and electronic equipment
waste and its implementation in
compliance with national standards, old
electrical equipment must be collected
separately, for eco-compatible recycling. If
electrical equipment is disposed of in a landfill
or in the ground, the harmful substances can
reach the water table and enter the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being. For
further information on disposing of this product,
contact the competent authority for the disposal
of domestic waste or your dealer.
At the end of their working life, dispose
of batteries paying due attention to the
environment. Batteries contain material
classified as hazardous for you and the
environment. They must be removed
and disposed of separately at a facility that
accepts lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the
products and packaging used allows the
materials to be recycled and reused.
Reuse of recycled materials help to
prevent environmental pollution and
reduces the demand for raw materials.

This machine is a forestry tool and precisely
a battery powered pole-mounted pruner.
The machine is essentially composed of
a battery powered motor and a guide bar
that takes the power from the battery to the
motor which drives the cutting chain.
The operator is able to operate the
machine with two hands, using the front
and rear handgrips, and can use the
main controls, always remaining at a safe
distance from the cutting means.

This machine was designed
and manufactured for:
– felling, bucking and delimbing trees
with dimensions suitable for the length
of the guide bar or wooden objects
with the same characteristics;
