Never use the machine in extreme weather conditions 
such as severe cold, very hot and/or humid climates.

ARNING! This machine produces an 
electromagnetic field during operation. 
This field may under some 
circumstances interfere with active or 
passive medical implants. To reduce the 
risk of serious or fatal injury, we 
recommend persons with medical 
implants to consult their physician and 
the medical implant manufacturer before 
operating this machine.

ARNING! Running an engine in a 
confined or badly ventilated area can 
result in death due to asphyxiation or 
carbon monoxide poisoning.

ARNING! Never allow children to use or 
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the 
machine is equipped with a spring-
loaded stop switch and can be started by 
low speed and force on the starter 
handle, even small children under some 
circumstances can produce the force 
necessary to start the machine. This can 
mean a risk of serious personal injury. 
Therefore remove the spark plug cap 
when the machine is not under close 
supervision.

TANT!
A pole saw is a dangerous tool if used carelessly or 
incorrectly and can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It 
is extremely important that you read and understand the 
contents of this Operator’s Manual.
You must use approved personal protective equipment 
whenever you use the machine. Personal protective 
equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will 
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. 
Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
