branches, ditches, etcetera) in case you have to
move suddenly. Take great care when you work on
sloping ground.
• Always inspect the working area. Remove all loose
objects such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel
wire, string, etcetera, that could be thrown out or
become wrapped around the cutting attachment.
• Take great care when cutting a tree that is in
tension. A tree that is in tension may spring back
to its normal position before or after being cut. If you
position yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the
wrong place the tree may hit you or the product and
cause you to lose control. Both situations can cause
serious personal injury.

product touches or comes close to high-voltage
power lines it could lead to death or serious bodily
injury. Electricity can jump from one point to another
by arcing. The higher the voltage, the greater the
distance electricity can jump. Electricity can also
