to heat stroke. Schedule heavy work for early morning or late afternoon

hours when temperatures are cooler.

SAFE OPERATION

WARNING DANGER

All over head electrical conductors and communications wires can

have electricity flow with high voltages. Never touch wires directly

or indirectly when pruning, otherwise serious injury or death may

result.

Determine Operation Area

• Provide all operators of this equipment with the Operator's Manual

and instructions for safe operation.

• Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilated

areas.

• Review the area to be trimmed. Look for hazards that could contribute

to unsafe conditions. DO NOT operate unit if any wires (power,

telephone, cable, etc.) are closer than 15 M (50 ft.) to any part of the

operator or unit.

• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and

animalspreventedfromcoming nearer than 15 M(50ft.)while the

Power PrunerTM is in use.

• Avoid all power lines. This unit is not insulated against electrical

current.

Operation

UseProperClothing&Equipment

• Before starting the unit, equip yourself and any other person

working within the 15 M (50 ft.) Safety Zone with the required

Protective Equipment and clothing.

• Always wear head protection with full face shield to help protect

against falling branches and debris.

AvoidHotSurfaces

• During operation, the complete unit, especially the power head,

muffler area and cutting attachment may become very hot, too hot to

touch. Avoid contact during and immediately after operation.

15 M

(50ft.)

KeepAFirmGrip

• Grip Power PrunerTM with both hands with thumbs and fingers

encircling the handle, and lower shaft tube.

KeepASolidStance

• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery,

uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on

ladders. Do not overreach.

• Operate the Power PrunerTM only from the ground or

out of an approved bucket lift.

• Always evaluate the branches to be pruned for hazards such as loose

dead branches which may fall and strike the operator or helpers.

Remove hazards before pruning.

• Cut branches bounce when striking ground.

• Plan retreat path from falling objects.

• Check that shoulder harness is adjusted for safe, comfortable

operation. See picture at right for proper adjustment.

• Turn the Power PrunerTM off when moving from tree to tree.

• Avoid any contact with saw chain.

KICKBACK

WARNING DANGER

Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the Power

PrunerTM and result in serious injury to the operator or any one

standing close by. Hold the Power PrunerTM firmly with both hands

with thumbs and fingers encircling the front and rear handles. Be

aware of the down and outward path the pruner will take after the

cut is made.

Kickback may occur when the moving saw chain at the nose or tip of

the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and

pinches the saw chain in the cut. In some cases this may cause a

lightning-fast reverse action, kicking the guide bar and saw chain up

and back or down and back towards the operator. Either of these

reactions may cause the operator to lose control of the Power PrunerTM

which could result in serious personal injury.

With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the

element of surprise which contributes to accidents.

Avoid contact of the guide bar tip with any object while the saw chain

ismoving.

Cut only wood. Avoid striking concrete, metal, wire, or other obstruc-

tions which could cause kickback or damage to the saw chain.

If the saw chain does strike a foreign object, immediately stop the

engine, inspect and repair the Power PrunerTM if necessary.

EXTENDED OPERATION/EXTREME CONDITIONS

Vibration and Cold

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon, which

affects the fingers of certain individuals may be brought about by

exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may

cause tingling and burning sensations followed by loss of color and

numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly

recommendedbecausethe minimum exposure whichmighttriggerthe

ailmentisunknown.

• Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands

and wrists.

• Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm

exercises during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.

• Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where

operating the trimmer or other hand-held power equipment is not

required.

• If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the fingers

followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician

before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.

Repetitive Stress Injuries

It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the fingers,

hands, arms and shoulders may cause soreness, swelling, numbness,

weakness and extreme pain in those areas. Certain repetitive hand

activities may put you at a high risk for developing a Repetitive Stress

Injury(RSI).AnextremeRSIconditionisCarpalTunnelSyndrome

(CTS), which could occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital

nerve that runs through the area. Some believe that prolonged exposure

to vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe pain for

months or even years.

To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following:

• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position.

Instead try to maintain a straight wrist position. Also, when grasping,

use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger.

• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands.

• Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive

movement.

• Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.

• Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult a doctor if

you feel tingling, numbness or pain in the fingers, hands, wrists or

arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent

nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.
