2 Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be
observed when working with the elec‐
tric pole pruner because it is a high-
speed, fast-cutting power tool with
very sharp cutters and a long reach.
It is important you read and under‐
stand the User Manual before com‐
missioning and keep it in a safe place
for future reference. Non-compliance
0458-247-9921-C
with the User Manual may cause seri‐
ous or even fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety regulations,
e.g. by trade organizations, social insurance
institutions, labor safety authorities etc.
If you have never used a power tool before:
Have your dealer or other experienced user
show you how to operate your machine – or
attend a special course to learn how to operate
it.
Minors are not allowed to work with the power
tool – except adolescents above 16 years of age
who are instructed under supervision.
Children, animals and bystanders must not be
allowed near the machine.
When not using the machine, it must be laid
down in such a way that it does not endanger
anyone. Ensure that the machine cannot be
used without authorization.
The user is responsible for accidents or risks
involving third parties or their property.
Lend or rent your power tool only together with
this User Manual and only to persons who are
familiar with this model and its operation.
The use of machines that emit noise may be limi‐
ted to certain hours of the day as specified by
national and/or regional or local regulations.
Anyone operating the machine must be well res‐
ted, in good physical health and in good mental
condition.
If you have any condition that might be aggrava‐
ted by strenuous work, check with your doctor
before operating a machine.
Anyone who has consumed alcohol or drugs or
medicines affecting their ability to react must not
operate a power tool.
Use your pole pruner for limbing only (removing
or pruning branches). Saw wood and wooden
objects only.
Other uses are not permitted and may lead to
accidents or damage to the machine. Never
attempt to modify your power tool in any way
since this may result in accidents or damage to
the machine.
Only use guide bars, saw chains, chain sprock‐
ets and accessories that are explicitly approved
for this power tool model by STIHL or are techni‐
cally identical. If you have any questions in this
respect, consult your dealer.
