SAFETY RULES
• 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 polesaw.
• Always use head protection when operating the polesaw overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
• Contact of the guide-bar tip with any object should be avoided.
• Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move suddenly upward and backward, which may
cause serious injury.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury
by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a polesaw in a tree. Operation of a polesaw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
• Alwayskeepproperfootingandoperatethepolesawonlywhenstandingonxed,secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance
or control of the polesaw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in
the wood bers are released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
polesaw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the polesaw with one hand on the rear handle and one on the shaft, with the
polesaw switched off and away from your body. Proper handling of the polesaw will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles can cause the
user to lose control of the polesaw.
• Cut wood only. Do not use polesaw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use
polesaw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the polesaw for
operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
