english To reduce the risk of injury to your eyes never operate a pole pruner unless wearing goggles or properly fitted safety glasses with adequate top and side protection complying with ANSI Z 87.1. To reduce the risk of injury to your face, STIHL recommends that you also wear a face shield or face screen over your goggles or safety glasses. Wear an approved safety hard hat to reduce the risk of head injury. Pole pruner noise may damage your hearing. Always wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers) to reduce the risk of hearing loss. Continual and regular users should have their hearing checked regularly. THE POLE PRUNER For illustrations and definitions of the parts of the pole pruner see the chapter on "Parts and Controls" and "Definitions". !Warning! Never modify a pole pruner in any way. Only attachments and parts supplied by STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL pole pruner models are authorized. Although certain unauthorized attachments are useable with the STIHL powerhead, their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous. Use the unit only with the recommended saw chain and guide bar - a longer bar makes the unit difficult to control. THE USE OF THE UNIT Transporting the pole pruner !Warning! Always stop the engine before putting a pole pruner down or carrying it. Carrying a pole pruner with the engine running is extremely dangerous. Accidental acceleration of the engine can cause the chain to rotate. !Warning! During operation, the powerhead muffler and the material around it reach extremely high temperatures. Avoid touching the hot muffler - you could receive serious burns! By hand: When carrying your pole pruner by hand, the engine must be stopped and the pole pruner must be in the proper position. The chain guard (scabbard) should be over the chain and the guide bar, which should point backwards. When carrying your pole pruner, the bar should be behind you. By vehicle: When transporting in a vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with the chain guard. Properly secure your pole pruner to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the pole pruner. 390BA000 KN HT 70, HT 75 5
