• Starting, stopping, and restarting an electric motor
repeatedly within a few seconds can generate a great deal
of heat and damage the motor. To protect the life of your
electric pole chain saw, always wait at least five seconds
after stopping before restarting the saw.
m
WARNING!
Be certain that the chain is not in contact with
any object when you start the motor.
m
WARNING!
Keep hands away from chain. Keep hands on
handles. Do not overreach.
A good, firm grip on the tool using both hands will help you
maintain control. When using the pole chain saw, place one
hand on the front handle foam grip and the other hand on the
rear handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the pole and
handle. A firm grip combined with proper positioning
of the handle against your body will help you maintain control of
the saw. Do not let go of the pole chain saw while it is
in operation.
m
WARNING!
Do not operate the pole chain saw in a
tree, on a ladder, or on a scaffold. Using the tool under such
circumstances is extremely dangerous.
m
CAUTION!
The chain will continue to run for several
seconds after turning off the tool.
Do not use the pole chain saw under wet conditions. Use
extreme caution when cutting small brush, saplings, or limbs
under tension because slender and tense material may catch the
saw and be whipped toward you, pull you off balance,
or spring back.
Do not use the pole chain saw to cut vines and/or small
underbrush.
m
WARNING!
Do not let familiarity with this type of tool
prevent you from taking all necessary precautions. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
serious injury.

WARNING!
Failure to lubricate the chain will cause
damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar
and chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws. One
minute of use will consume approximately 0.15 fl oz. (4 ml) of oil.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use.
To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use. When
storing the unit for a long period of time (3 months or longer), be
sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the
chain and bar sprocket.
m
WARNING!
Be aware of the cord while operating the saw.
Keep the cord away from the chain. Be careful not to trip over
the extension cord.

WARNING!
Kickback may occur when the moving chain
contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of
the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the chain
saw in the cut (Fig. 15). Contact at the upper portion of the
tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object
and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning-fast
reverse reaction, which kicks the guide bar up and back toward
the operator. If the chain saw is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward
the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw
control, which can throw the operator off balance and result in
serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices
built into the saw. As a user, you should take several precautions
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
1. Prior to each cutting session, run through the daily checklist
(see pg. 15).
2. Connect the electric pole chain saw to a working 120 V
outlet using a heavy-duty outdoor extension power cord,
such as the All Season Power SJTW-A 14-gauge
50-foot extension cord with lighted end (Model PJEXT50-B).

3. Make a loop in the power cord and push it up through
the hole in the handle and around the cord restraint
hook (Fig. 16), then connect the extension cord to the
appliance cord.
