result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the product.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
• Do not operate near electrical power lines. The unit has not been designed to provide
protection from electric shock in the event of contact with overhead electric lines. Consult
local regulations for safe distances from overhead electric power lines and ensure that the
operating position is safe and secure before operating the pole saw.
• Use pole saw for cutting wood only. Do not use for cutting non-wood items.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let
the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction while you are
operating the unit. Have a planned retreat path.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. Saw chain continues to move after the switch is turned off. A
moment of inattention while operating the pole saw may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the pole saw by the handle with the saw chain stopped. When transporting or
storing the pole saw, always t the saw chain device cover. Proper handling of the pole
saw will reduce possible personal injury from the saw chain.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A saw chain contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the pole saw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.
• Do not use the pole saw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any electrical power lines. Contact
with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the pole saw. Hold the pole saw with both hands
to avoid loss of control.
• Always use head protection when operating the pole saw overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
• Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding
the product.
• To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate within 50 feet of overhead
electrical lines.
• Before starting the motor, make sure the chain is not contacting any object.
• To protect yourself from falling branches, do not stand directly under the branch or
limb being cut. This unit should not be held at an angle over 60° from ground level.
• Turn off the motor and make sure cutting attachment has stopped before setting unit
down.
• Do not operate the saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
bystanders, or any combination of these persons may results from one hand
operation. This saw intended for two-handed use.
