To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes never
operate a pole pruner
unless wearing goggles or
properly fitted safety
glasses with adequate top
and side protection complying with
ANSI Z 87.1.
To reduce the risk of injury to your face,
STIHL recommends that you also wear
a face shield or face screen over your
goggles or safety glasses.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to
reduce the risk of head injury. Pole
pruner noise may damage your hearing.
Always wear sound barriers (ear plugs
or ear mufflers) to reduce the risk of
hearing loss. Continual and regular
users should have their hearing checked
regularly.
THE POLE PRUNER

Warning!
Never modify a pole pruner in any way.
Only attachments and parts supplied by
STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL pole
pruner models are authorized. Although
certain unauthorized attachments are
useable with the STIHL powerhead,
their use may, in fact, be extremely
dangerous.
Use the unit only with the recommended
saw chain and guide bar – a longer bar
makes the unit difficult to control.
THE USE OF THE UNIT
Transporting the pole pruner
!
Warning!
Always stop the engine before putting a
pole pruner down or carrying it. Carrying
a pole pruner with the engine running is
extremely dangerous. Accidental
acceleration of the engine can cause the
chain to rotate.

!
Warning!
During operation, the powerhead muffler
and the material around it reach
extremely high temperatures. Avoid
touching the hot muffler – you could
receive serious burns!
By hand: When carrying your pole
pruner by hand, the engine must be
stopped and the pole pruner must be in
the proper position. The chain guard
(scabbard) should be over the chain and
the guide bar, which should point
backwards. When carrying your pole
pruner, the bar should be behind you.
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with
the chain guard. Properly secure your
pole pruner to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage to the pole pruner.
