• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts

of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards
Extended Reach Pole Saw Safety
• 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 extended-reach pole saw may result in
serious personal injury
• Carry the extended-reach pole saw by the
handle with the saw chain stopped. When
transporting or storing the extended-
reach pole saw, always fit the saw
chain device cover. Proper handling of the
extended-reach pole saw will reduce possible
personal injury from the saw chain
• Hold the extended-reach pole saw by
insulated gripping surfaces only, because
the saw chain may contact hidden wiring.
A saw chain contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the extended-reach
pole saw "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock
• Do not use the extended-reach pole saw
in bad weather conditions, especially
when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning
• 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 extended-reach pole saw. Hold the
extended-reach pole saw with both hands to
avoid loss of control
