Control dust at the source where possible. Use good work practices, such as such as always cutting with a properly sharpened chain (which produces wood chips rather than fine dust) and operating the unit so that the wind or operating process directs any dust raised by the power tool away from the operator. Follow the recommendations of EPA / OSHA / NIOSH and occupational and trade associations with respect to dust ("particulate matter"). When the inhalation of dust cannot be substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or near the ambient (background) level, the operator and any bystanders should wear a respirator approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type of dust encountered. English Warning! Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous and can cause severe or fatal injury, respiratory illness or cancer. The use and disposal of asbestos-containing products have been strictly regulated by OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency. If you have any reason to believe that you might be cutting asbestos, immediately contact your employer or a local OSHA representative. Warning! This power tool has a large range. In order to reduce the risk of personal or even fatal injury to bystanders from falling objects or inadvertent contact with the moving chain of your power tool always keep bystanders at least 50 feet (15 m) away when the power tool is running. Warning! Even though bystanders should be kept away from the running saw, never work alone. Keep within calling distance of others in case help is needed. Stop the engine immediately if you are approached. HT 100, HT 101, HT 130, HT 131 English 15m (50ft) 15m (50ft) Danger! Your power tool is not insulated against electric shock. To reduce the risk of electrocution, never operate this power tool in the vicinity of any wires or cables (power, etc.) which may be carrying electric current. Electricity can jump from one point to another by means of arcing. Higher voltage increases the distance electricity can arc. Electricity can also move through branches, especially if they are wet. Maintain a clearance of at least 50 feet (15 m) between the pole pruner (including any branches it is contacting) and any electrical line carrying live current. Before working with less clearance, contact your electric utility and make sure the current is turned off. Operating Instructions Warning! Do not operate your power tool using the starting throttle position, as you do not have control of the engine speed. In the event of an emergency, switch off the engine immediately – move the slide control / stop switch to 0 or STOP. Warning! To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep hands and feet away from the saw chain. Never touch a moving chain with your hand or any other part of your body. The saw chain continues to move for a short period after the throttle trigger is released (inertia effect). Accelerating the engine while the chain is blocked increases the load and will cause the clutch to slip continuously. This may result in overheating and damage to important components (e. g. clutch, polymer housing components) – which can then increase the risk of injury from the chain moving while the engine is idling. Warning! If the chain becomes clogged, always turn off the engine and make sure the chain has stopped before cleaning. Make sure that the saw chain does not touch any foreign materials such as rocks, fences, nails and the like. Such objects may be flung off and injure the operator or bystanders, or damage the saw chain. Warning! Prior to limbing, clear the working area from interfering limbs and brush. Then, establish an escape area away from where the cut limbs can fall, and remove all obstacles. Keep work area clear – move away fallen limbs. Place all tools and equipment at a safe distance from the branches being limbed, but not in the escape area. Warning! Always observe the general condition of the tree. Look for decay and rot in the trunk and branches. If it is rotted inside, 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. HT 100, HT 101, HT 130, HT 131 275BA005 KN 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 ro...
