A good, firm grip on the tool will help you maintain control.
Maintain a firm grip by placing your hand on the handle with
thumb and fingers encircling the grip. A firm grip combined with
proper positioning of the saw will help you maintain control of
the saw. Do not let go of the saw while it is in operation.
mWARNING! Do not operate the cordless pruning saw in
a tree, on a ladder, or on a scaffold. Using the tool under such
circumstances is extremely dangerous.
mCAUTION! The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after turning off the tool.
Do not use the pruning saw under wet conditions. Use extreme
caution when cutting small brush, saplings, or limbs under
tension because slender and tense material may catch the saw
and be whipped toward you, pull you off balance, or spring back.
Do not use the saw to cut vines and/or small underbrush.
mWARNING! Do not let familiarity with this type of tool
prevent you from taking all necessary precautions. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious
injury.
mWARNING! Do not cut branches near electrical wires.
mWARNING! Failure to lubricate the chain will cause
damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar
and chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws.
1. Prior to each cutting session, run through the daily checklist
(see pg. 17).
2. Insert the battery in the battery compartment. Push to make
sure it is locked in place (Fig. 7).
3. To turn the tool on, hold the pruning saw firmly on the
handle grip. Press the safety lock button, and squeeze the
ON/Off switch. When the pruning saw is running, you can
release the safety lock button (Fig. 8).
4. To turn the tool off, simply release the On/Off switch.
NOTE: Do not squeeze the On/Off switch until you are
ready to make a cut.
Operating Tips
m
WARNING! For your safety and that of others:
1. Do not use the machine without reading the instructions
carefully. Become acquainted with the controls and the
proper use of the machine. Learn how to stop the machine
quickly.
2. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
3. Always wear suitable clothing when using the machine.
Wear anti-vibration gloves and other personal
protective equipment.
All the above-mentioned precautions do not, however,
guarantee the prevention of certain risks – i.e. Raynaud’s
phenomenon or Carpal tunnel syndrome. For operators
who use this machine for prolonged periods, it is therefore
recommended to have periodic checkups on their hands
and fingers. If any of the above mentioned symptoms
should appear, please contact a physician immediately.
4. Work only in daylight or good artificial light.
5. Take utmost care when working near metal fences.
6. Take care not to hit the bar hard against foreign objects or
flying debris caused by the movement of the chain.
7. Never reach over the riving knife or under the base plate.
There is a risk of injury!
8. Do not start the saw if the saw chain is in contact with any
object, is in the workpiece or may hit an object. This can
lead to serious injuries.
9. Clamp loose workpieces before cutting them. Remove
foreign objects such as nails, screws, etc.
10. When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers is
released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the saw out of control.
