SAFETY RULES
POLESAW USE AND CARE
• Do not force the polesaw. Use the correct polesaw for your application. The correct
polesaw will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the polesaw if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any polesaw that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the tool from the battery before making any adjustments changing
accessories, or storing polesaws. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the polesaw accidentally.
• Store idle polesaws out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the polesaw or these instructions to operate the polesaw. Polesaws are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain polesaws. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the polesaw’s operation. If damaged, have the polesaw
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained polesaws.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the polesaw, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
polesaw for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
• Rechargeonlywiththechargerspeciedbythemanufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
• Usepowertoolsonlywithspecicallydesignatedbatterypacks. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contactaccidentallyoccurs,ushwithwater.If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
• 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 polesaw may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the polesaw by the handle with the saw chain stopped. When transporting or storing
the polesaw, always t the saw chain device cover. Proper handling of the polesaw will reduce
possible personal injury from the saw chain.
• Hold the polesaw 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 polesaw “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 polesaw in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
