Allow only persons who fully understand
this manual to operate your pole pruner.
To receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL pole
pruner, it is important that you read,
understand and follow the safety
precautions and the operating and
maintenance instructions in chapter
"Safety Precautions and Working
Techniques" before using your pole
pruner. For further information you can
go to www.stihlusa.com.
Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL
distributor for your area if you do not

WARNING
Because a pole pruner is a high-speed,
fast-cutting power tool with a very long
reach, special safety precautions must
be observed to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Careless or improper
use may cause serious or even fatal
injury.
