Allow only persons who understand this
manual to operate your pole pruner
attachment.
To receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL pole pruner
attachment, it is important that you read
and understand the maintenance and
safety precautions, starting on page 3,
before using your pole pruner
attachment.
Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL
distributor for your area if you do not
understand any of the instructions in this
manual.
!Warning!
Because a pole pruner is a high-speed
cutting tool with a very long reach some
special safety precautions must be
observed to reduce the risk of personal
injury.
Careless or improper use may cause
serious or even fatal injury.
STIHL's philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. As a result,
engineering changes and improve-
ments are made from time to time. If the
operating characteristics or the
appearance of your pole pruner
attachment differ from those described
in this manual, please contact your
STIHL dealer for information and
assistance.
