appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
DANGER! 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 tool.
POLE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
◾
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the pole saw is operating. Before you start the
pole saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention while operating pole
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the chain.
◾
Avoid unintentional contact with the stationary saw
chain or guide bar rails. These can be very sharp.
Always wear gloves and long pants or chaps when
handling the pole saw, saw chain, or guide bar.
◾
Always hold the pole saw with your one hand on
the rear handle and your other hand on the front
handle. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or
bystanders can result from one-handed operation.
◾
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
◾
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet
is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will
reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
◾
Do not operate a pole saw in a tree. Operation of a
pole saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.

Always keep proper footing and operate the pole
saw 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 pole saw.
Never operate a pole saw that is damaged or
improperly adjusted or that is not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops
moving when the trigger switch is released.
Inspect the work piece for nails, wire, or other foreign
objects prior to cutting.
When cutting a limb 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 pole saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Aggressive or abusive cutting or misuse of the pole
saw can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket
wear, as well as broken chain or bar, leading to
kickback, chain throw or the ejection of material.
Never use the guide bar as a lever. A bent guide bar
can cause premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear,
as well as a broken chain or bar, leading to kickback,
chain throw or the ejection of material.
Carry the pole saw with two hands on the handles,
with the pole saw switched off. When transporting or
storing the pole saw always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the pole saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the moving 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.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback. Keep cutting edge sharp and clean
for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use pole saw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use pole saw for cutting
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use
of the pole saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
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.
