iMpOrtant SaFEty inStrUctiOnS
When using electric gardening appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
rEaD all inStrUctiOnS
power cord Safety
WarninG! - to reduce the risk of electric
shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type
SW-a, SOW-a, StW-a, StOW-a, SJW-a,
SJOW-a, SJtW-a. or SJtOW-a.
1. Extension cord - Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
2. Ground Fault circuit interrupter (GFci)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
gardening appliance. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection and
may be used for this measure of safety.
3. Do not abuse cord - Do not carry appliance
by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
4. to reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other) and will require the use
of a polarized extension cord. The appliance
plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,
obtain a correct polarized extension cord.
5. a polarized extension cord will require the use
of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the
polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change
the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way. This design is
referred to as double-insulated, indicated by .

SaFEty OpEratiOn MaintEnancEaSSEMbly
9. check Damaged parts - Before further use of the
appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other condition that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by a qualified technician
unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.
10. carefully follow cutting procedures
explained in this manual. They are specifically
planned to reduce risk to the operator.
11. lock pole in place securely
before using pole Saw.
12. Maintain appliance With care - Keep cutting edge
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect appliance cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by
an authorized service facility. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Vibration Hazard
This appliance vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. anyone using vibrating appliances regularly
or for an extended period should first be
examined by a doctor and then have regular
medical check-ups to ensure medical problems
are not being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have impaired
blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s
Disease should not use this appliance. If you
feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration
effects on the user.
4. Use appliances with the lowest vibration when
there is a choice between different processes.
5. include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip appliance as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control of it).
Let the appliance do the work.
7. to reduce vibration, maintain the appliance
as explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
pole pruner Safety
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain. Do not remove cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving. 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 Pruner may result in serious personal injury.
2. carry the pole pruner by the handle with the
saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing
the Pole Pruner, always fit the saw chain device
cover. Proper handling of the Pole Pruner will
reduce possible personal injury from the saw chain.
3. Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A Saw
chain contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the Pole Pruner “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the saw chain.
5. Do not use the pole pruner in bad
weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning. This decreases
the risk of being struck by lightning.
6. 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.
7. always use two hands when operating
the pole pruner. Hold the Pole Pruner with
both hands to avoid loss of control.
8. always use head protection when operating
the pole pruner overhead. Falling debris
can result in serious personal injury.
9. 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 saw chain Pole Pruner.

General Safety
1. Stop working when you feel tired or exhausted.
Make regular breaks to rest.
2. before use, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting anything.
3. Do not operate pole Saw from within a tree.
Operation of tool while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
4. Keep proper footing and operate the garden
power tool only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the garden power tool.
5. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibers is released, the limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the tool out of control.
6. Do not use for bore cutting, felling or bucking.
7. Keep bystanders and other workers at
least 50 feet from the work area.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush
and saplings. The slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped around.
9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
10. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions.
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Kickback can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
a. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the Pole Saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
Do not let go of the garden power tool.
b. Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended
tip contact and enables better control of the
garden power tool in unexpected situations.
c. Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
d. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
12. Use for cutting wood only. Do not use for cutting
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
13. Do not touch guide bar tip to any object.
Tip contact may cause guide bar to move
suddenly upward and backwards.
14. Maintain labels and nameplates on the appliance.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
15. the warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
