POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
•
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 saw may result in serious
personal injury.
•
Carry the pole saw by the handle with the saw chain
stopped. When transporting or storing the pole saw,
always fit the saw chain device cover. Proper handling of
the pole saw will reduce possible personal injury from the
saw chain.
•
Hold the pole saw 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 saw "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 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.
English
•
Always use two hands when operating the pole saw. Hold
the pole saw with both hands to avoid loss of control.
•
Always use head protection when operating the pole saw
overhead. Falling debris can result in serious personal
injury.
