it could snap and fall toward the operator

while being cut. Also look for broken or

dead branches which could vibrate

loose and fall on the operator. If branch

is thick or heavy, make a shallow relief

cut on the bottom of the branch before

cutting down from the top to help prevent

splitting of the branch. See chapter on

"Using the Unit".

WARNING

To reduce the risk of severe or even fatal

injury from falling objects do not cut

vertically above your body. Hold the pole

pruner at an angle of not more than 60°

from the horizontal level (see picture).

Objects may fall in unexpected

directions. Do not stand directly

underneath the limb being cut!

Watch for falling wood! As soon as the

limbed branch starts to fall, step aside

and keep a sufficient distance away from

the falling wood.

WARNING

Always pull the unit out of the cut with

the chain running to reduce the

possibility of pinching the cutting

attachment. Don't put pressure on the

pole pruner when reaching the end of a

cut. The pressure may cause the bar

and rotating chain to pop out of the cut or

kerf, go out of control and strike some

other object.

If the bar becomes pinched and caught

in the branch so that the chain can no

longer move, shut off the pole pruner

and carefully move the branch to open

the pinch and release the bar.

WARNING

If a rotating saw chain strikes a rock or

other hard object, sparks may be

created, which can ignite flammable

materials under certain circumstances.

Flammable materials can include dry

vegetation and brush, particularly when

weather conditions are hot and dry.

When there is a risk of fire or wildfire, do

not use a power tool around flammable

materials or around dry vegetation or

brush. Contact your local fire authorities

or the U.S. Forest Service if you have

any question about whether vegetation

and weather conditions are suitable for

the use of a pole pruner.

WARNING

Never modify your muffler. Any

modification could cause an increase in

heat radiation, sparks or sound level,

thereby increasing the risk of fire, burn

injury or hearing loss. You may also

permanently damage the engine. STIHL

recommends having your muffler

serviced and repaired by a STIHL

servicing dealer.

WARNING

The muffler and other parts of the engine

(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)

become hot during operation and remain

hot for a while after stopping the engine.

To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the

muffler and other parts while they are

hot. Keep the area around the muffler

clean. Remove excess lubricant and all

debris such as pine needles, branches

or leaves. Let the engine cool down

sitting on concrete, metal, bare ground

or solid wood (e.g. the trunk of a felled

tree) away from any combustible

substances.

WARNING

An improperly mounted or damaged

cylinder housing or a

damaged/deformed muffler shell may

interfere with the cooling process of the

muffler. To reduce the risk of fire or burn

injury, do not continue work with a

damaged or improperly mounted

cylinder housing or a

damaged/deformed muffler shell.

Your muffler is furnished with a spark

arresting screen designed to reduce the

risk of fire from the emission of hot

particles. Never operate your unit with a

missing or damaged spark arresting

screen. If your gas/oil mix ratio is correct

(i.e., not too rich), this screen will

normally stay clean as a result of the

heat from the muffler and need no

service or maintenance. If you

experience loss of performance and you

suspect a clogged screen, have your
