WARNING
When using the product, the safety rules must be followed. For your own safety and that of bystanders, you must read and fully understand these instructions before operating the product. Please keep these instructions safe for later use.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in HOHFWULF VKRFN, iUH DQG/RU VHULRXV LQMXU\.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY
■ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

■ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
■ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
■ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
■ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
■ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
■ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in VHULRXV SHUVRQDO LQMXU\.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce SHUVRQDO LQMXULHV.
■ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
■ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal LQMXU\.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. /RRVH FORWKHV, MHZHOOHU\ RU ORQJ hair can be caught in moving parts.
■ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
■ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will GRWKH MRE EHWWHU DQGVDIHU DWWKH UDWH IRU ZKLFKLWZDV designed.
■ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
■ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
■ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
■ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
■ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc, in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

■ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product. Check with your local authority for advice.
■ Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use the product. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
■ Ensure before each use that all controls and safety devices function correctly. Do not use the product if the “off” switch does not stop the motor.
■ Wear full eye and hearing protection, strong sturdy gloves as well as head protection while operating the product; use a face mask if operation is dusty.
■ Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short trousers or jewellery of any kind.
■ Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving parts.
■ Beware of thrown, flying or falling objects; keep all bystanders, children, and animals at least 15 m away from work area.
■ Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear view of the work area to identify potential hazards.
■ Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is going on in the working area.
■ Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of hearing injury and the potential for other persons to enter your working area.
■ Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance and ce increase the risk of kickback.
■ Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
■ Inspect the machine before each use. Check for correct operation of all controls. Check for loose fasteners, make sure all guards, and handles are properly and securely attached. Replace any damaged parts before use.
■ Do not modify the machine in any way or use parts and accessories which are not recommended by the manufacturer.
■ Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
■ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
■ If you need to use an extension cable ensure it is suitable for outdoor use and has a current capacity sufficient to supply your tool. Check it before every use for damage. Always uncoil it during use because coiled cables can overheat.

WARNING
If the machine is dropped, suffers heavy impact or begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the machine and inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration. Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.

PRUNER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Never use the pruner when there is a possibility of thunderstorm or lightning. Store the pruner and the power cables safely indoors.
■ Ensure all guards, handles are properly fitted and are in good condition.
■ Do not start using the product until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path away from the falling branches or limbs.
■ Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust. Wear mask or respirator if required.
■ Electrical power should be supplied via a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA.
■ If the power cable becomes damaged, you must return the machine to an authorised service centre for repair or replacement
■ Always hold the pruner with both hands when operating it. Use one hand to firmly grasp the front hand grip. Use the other hand to grasp the rear handle and operate the trigger release and on/off trigger.
■ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
■ Do not modify your tool in any way or use it to power any attachments or devices not recommended by the manufacturer for your pruner.
■ Your pruner comes with a harness. You must use it whilst operating the pruner. It will assist you to control the drop of the pruner after the cut is completed. It will also help support the weight of the machine during use and whilst moving between pruning positions.
■ Identify the quick release mechanism and practice using it before you start using the machine. Its correct use may prevent serious injury in the case of an emergency. Never wear additional clothing over the harness or otherwise restrict access to the quick release mechanism.
■ Before starting the tool, make sure the saw chain is not contacting any object.
■ An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide bar and could result in serious injury. Check before each use and frequently, especially a new chain.

• With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact branch, limb or any other obstruction while you are operating the unit.
• Maintain a firm grip, with both hands on the machine and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the pruner.
• Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the pruner in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and FKDLQV PD\ FDXVH FKDLQ EUHDNDJH DQG/RU NLFNEDFN.
• Sharpening the chain safely is a skilled task. Therefore the manufacturer strongly recommends that a worn or dull chain is replaced with a new one, available from your authorised Ryobi service centre. The part number is available in the product specification table in this manual.
■ Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.
■ To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate within 10 m of overhead electrical lines.
■ Beware of falling branches or those which rebound after hitting the ground.
■ Use extreme caution when cutting small-sized brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
■ When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when tension in wood fibres are released.
■ If the cutting performance deteriorates over lime, check if the chain teeth are sharp and clean. Replace with original chain (and bar) as recommended by the manufacturer if necessary.
■ If the chain and bar become pinched or trapped in branches too high to reach, seek advice from a professional tree service specialist about safe removal of the cutting means.

WARNING
Check that all the shaft couplings on the extension pole and tool are securely fastened before each use and at frequent intervals.

Personal protective equipment
Good quality, personal protective equipment as used El SURIHWLRQDOV ZLOO KHOS WR UHGXFH WKH ULVN RI LQMXU\ WR the operator. The following items should be used when operating your product:

Safety helmet
– should comply with EN 397 and be CE marked

OPERATION – PRUNING

■ Study the condition of the tree and branches before starting work. If there are signs of damage, rot or decay, do not attempt to prune yourself. Damaged or rotten branches are highly unstable. Seek the services of a professional tree surgeon.
■ Never stand under the branch to be pruned.
■ Pruned branches do not always fall cleanly to the ground. They are easily caught and deflected by other foliage. Ensure that a safety zone at least twice the length of the branch to be cut is available and maintained during your pruning. If this is not possible, seek the services of a professional tree surgeon.
■ Ensure that the falling branch is not a danger to yourself, bystanders or property including utility cables.
■ Never operate the tool with the pole at an angle of greater than 60′ from the horizontal.
■ Never operate the pruner with the cutting means closer than 10 m from overhead power lines.
■ Do not force the tool, let the chain do the work at its own speed.
■ Do not try to cut the branch too close to the tree trunk. Leave about 15 cm from the trunk to the cut.
■ Rest the saw bar on the branch to be pruned and push the saw gently forwards so that the ribbed bumper also contacts the branch. This will aid stability, cutting and provide cleaner cuts.
■ Small branches which are both thin in diameter and not heavy can be cut with one cut using the bottom of the saw bar.
■ For larger diameter and heavier branches where the branch may break or split during the cut should be cut first from under the branch using the top of the saw bar. Make this cut approximately one third of the way through the branch. Then make a second cut from above the branch using the bottom of the saw bar to MRLQ WKH LUVW FXW.
■ Consider pruning large branches in manageable sections rather than as a whole.
■ Never try to restart a previous cut with the chain and bar in the earlier cut. Always start a new cut. This will UHGXFH WKH ULVN RI NLFNEDFN DQG SRWHQWLDO LQMXU\.

Technical data

*) The specified values are emission values and do not necessarily represent safe workplace values. Although there is a correlation between emission and emission levels, this cannot be used to infer whether additional safety measures are necessary or not. Factors which affect the current emission levels at the workplace, include the type of room, other sources of noise, e. g. the number of machines operating and other processes taking place in the vicinity. Permitted workplace values can differ from country to country. This information is designed to help the user to better assess the dangers and risks.
**) The specified vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a normed test procedure and can be used in order to compare one tool with another. The specified vibration emission value can also be used for an introductory evaluation of the exposure. The vibration emission value may fluctuate from the specified value during actual use of the power tool. These fluctuations will depend on the way in which the power tool is used. Try to keep vibrations to a minimum. One method of reducing the vibration load is, for example, limiting the length of time you work with the tool. All parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account for this purpose (for example, also including times in which the power tool is switched off and times in which it is switched on, but is running without load).

Appropriate chain oil

NOTICEI
Risk of damage to the device!
Under no circumstances should you use old oil to grease the saw chain! This can cause damage to the oil pump, saw rail and chain!

Use only special saw chain oils with good adhesion properties. Since the saw chain oil can penetrate the environment during operation, biologically- degradable special vegetable- based saw chain oils should be used.
