english When you pull the starter grip, do not wrap the starting rope around your hands. Do not allow the grip to snap back, but guide the starter rope slowly back to permit the rope to rewind properly. Failure to follow this procedure may result in injury to hand or fingers and may damage the starter mechanism. Important adjustments !Warning ! To reduce the risk of personal injury from loss of control or contact with the running chain, do not use a pole pruner with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct idle speed, the chain should not rotate. For directions to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate section of your owner's manual. If you cannot set the correct idle speed, have your STIHL dealer check your pole pruner and make proper adjustments or repairs. After adjusting chain tension, start the pole pruner, let the engine run for a while, then switch engine off and recheck chain tension. Proper chain tension is very important at all times. (50ft) 15m Working Conditions Danger! Risk of Electrocution! This pruner is not insulated against electric shock. Approaching or contacting electric power lines with a pruner may cause death by electrocution or serious bodily injury. 15m (50ft) 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 15 m (50 ft) between the 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 current is turned off. !Warning! The pole pruner has a large range. In order to reduce the risk of personal or even fatal injury to bystanders from falling objects and thrown pieces of wood or in advertent contact with the rotating chain of the pruner always keep bystanders at least 15 m (50 ft) away when the pole pruner is running. Operate your pole pruner only outdoors in a ventilated area. !Warning! Your pole pruner produces toxic exhaust fumes as soon as the combustible engine is running. These gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may be colorless and odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from breathing toxic fumes, never run the pole pruner indoors or in poorly ventilated locations. 8 HT 70, HT 75

Warning !
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
loss of control or contact with the
running chain, do not use a pole pruner
with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct
idle speed, the chain should not rotate.
For directions to adjust idle speed, see
the appropriate section of your owner's
manual. If you cannot set the correct idle
speed, have your STIHL dealer check
your pole pruner and make proper
adjustments or repairs.
After adjusting chain tension, start the
pole pruner, let the engine run for a
while, then switch engine off and
recheck chain tension. Proper chain
tension is very important at all times.
Working Conditions
Danger! Risk of Electrocution!
This pruner is not
insulated against electric
shock. Approaching or
contacting electric power
lines with a pruner may
cause death by
electrocution or serious bodily injury.
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
15 m (50 ft) between the 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 current is turned off.
!
Warning!
The pole pruner has a large range. In
order to reduce the risk of personal or
even fatal injury to bystanders from
falling objects and thrown pieces of
wood or in advertent contact with the
rotating chain of the pruner always keep
bystanders at least 15 m (50 ft) away
when the pole pruner is running.
Operate your pole pruner only outdoors
in a ventilated area.
!
Warning!
Your pole pruner
produces toxic exhaust
fumes as soon as the
combustible engine is
running. These gases
(e.g. carbon monoxide)
may be colorless and
odorless.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury from breathing toxic fumes, never
run the pole pruner indoors or in poorly
ventilated locations.
